Well first it was the horn that has been replaced several times and now all of the sudden cruise control doesn't work. I was annoyed about the horn, but now the cruise control... Seems like something is wrong with that horn and cruise control set up.... And I was wondering about the paint because it is also pealing like crazy...

I drove the expedition yesterday afternoon and returned home approximately 5:45 pm cst. Approximately 11:15 p.m. He heard popping noises and attributed it to early fireworks in the neighborhood. At 11:30 p.m. The fire department knocked on our front door to ask if our vehicle was on fire in the back. Our 2000 ford expedition was engulfed in flames and the fire department was putting the fire out. It was brought to our attention several times since last night that the vehicle may have been under a recall for the cruise control system and similar fires.

Our 2000 ford expedition spontaneously combusted in our driveway after sitting for 2 days. It was determined to be the cruise control switch. I am appalled that congress is so upset at toyota when ford knows that 11 million vehicles have these faulty cruise control switches and has done nothing to get ford to take responsibility. Our house was completely destroyed and my wife and 2 dogs escaped with their lives. The same day in a neighboring community another family's house was burned down by a 2001 expedition with the same problem. Why are you so critical of a foreign company and so ambivalent to a domestic car company with a history of defects that they do not take responsibility for? These vehicles are still exploding and killing people and yet I do not hear any outrage over this.
Recall on the cruise control on what was my 2000 ford expedition.
2000 ford exp went up in flames after returning from a trip to the grocery store on 8/16. Was just at repair shop for cruise control not working on 8/14. Told that ford had a recall and that I needed to take it to a dealership to be repaired. Everything inside the vehicle was destroyed as well as the concrete sidewalk it was parked on.
All four windows would not go down on vehicle. Went to car lot to have it checked out. Mechanic fixed the problem. Went back to work. I got off at 5:00pm. Went home and parked the vehicle. 2 hours later a neighbor told me that the vehicle was on fire after being parked for hours.
My 2000 ford expedition caught on fire while parked in my drive way (which is a total loss). The vehicle had not been in use for about a day before it caught on fire. The vehicle was parked so close to the garage door that if I were not out side at the time of the fire I would of probably seen my house burn down as well. The garage door although sustained some damage. After the fire was put out by the fire dept. I was asked if there were any recalls on the vehicle. When the VIN was checked on ford website it turned out that the vehicle had a recall on the cruise control switch which we were never notified of. Not only were we not notified but no were on their recall did it say of the damage it could cause. I found out by internet research that if it is not replaced it could cause under the hood fire.

My 2000 ford expedition apparently had a recall for the cruise control switch that could catch fire. In june 2007 my vehicle caught fire while parked and turned off for over 9 hours. We lost the vehicle and the entire house.
On july 10 2008 at 5:30am or there about our 2000 ford expedition caught on fire. At this time the car had been sitting in the driveway for about 10 hours. It was parked in front of our garage which also burnt our garage. By the grace of god a neighbor was on his way to work and woke us up and called 911. Myself my wife and my six year old got out of the house safely. Had the car been parked in the garage the likelihood of us been able to safely make it out of the house on time would have been slim to none. We called ford motors and filed a complaint. However, they told us that they were unable to help us at this time. And that we should expect a letter from them (ford) in about 10-12 days. Once we receive the letter then we could respond at that time. In the mean time neither our insurance company or ford were willing to help us. They truck was serviced regularly.

My 2000 ford expedition caught on fire on 6-19-05. My daughter & I had just gotten home. 30 minutes later the truck caught on fire. It was just sitting in the driveway. Thank goodness it was not in the garage. The fire dept came to put out the fire. My truck was totaled. I received nothing from ford. Not one dime. 3 yrs later I still get notices in the mail asking to bring my truck in for the recall. I never rec'd one notice before then. It is too late. I have emailed ford but they do not care. I lost my truck. If it wasn't for my insurance then I wouldn't have a car. I am a single mother and because of an error on fords part, I had to start over. Ford should have to be responsible for this tragic event. Me & my daughter to this day are scared to death to park in the garage or up near the house. My driveway was burnt.

Our 2000 ford expedition caught on fire after sitting in our driveway for approximately 11 hrs.
Prior to our 2000 ford expedition being recalled for the cruise control problems, we experienced electrical problems with the interior lighting group; radio, windshield wipers, etc. After a rain, the windshield wipers would not work and the blower motor would remain on or be on without ignition activation. The battery has run down because of this! We recently experienced the problems again and took the vehicle to our mechanic who recommended an electrical specialist. He diagnosed the windshield seal leak as a contributing factor to the junction box-gem module malfunctioning.
My 2000 ford expedition was parked in my mom's driveway while we went to the beach. We returned 4 hours later and the horn was blaring and smoke was pouring out from under the hood. The fire department disconnected the battery and I had it towed to the ford dealer, who sold us the car. I refused to get back in the car with my kids, after I spent $700 to repair the burned out wiring, and ended up trading it in for a brand new expedition. The recall notice came out in jan -05, after my incident. My friend's f150 went on fire in the middle of the night with the horn blaring - which caused me to investigate the recall. Some other fires have involved horns blaring. I want my $700 back.
