On the evening of july 7th, 2015 at approximately 10:45 p.m. We heard a commotion outside our apartment complex and discovered my '02 expedition fully on fire and being doused by the local fire department. It had just come back from repairs that afternoon - to the pigtail switch and re-wiring in the steering column due to loss of turn signals and radio. Not only was my car destroyed, but the cars on either side were damaged, as well as damage to the apartment complex. We retained an attorney and our initial report from the fire department stated the cause as "faulty wiring." the private fire investigator we retained has advised our attorney that the fire is due to the flawed cruise control system that has been the cause of hundreds of other fires in ford vehicles. We intend to pursue this matter legally and would sincerely appreciate any assistance or advise your office can provide.

On december 21st 2012 I left to drop my daughter at daycare... We got into the vehicle and I found I was unable to get my vehicle out of "park" and had to put it in neutral and start it (also found that the windows and wipers weren't operating at all either) ... My daughter stated "mommy, I smell something burning" and my assumption was the fuse had blown... I drove a few blocks and dropped her off and then stopped a block away at the local convenient store and upon exiting the store came out and found flames pouring out of my driver side wheel/ hood area. The 7-11 employee had a fire extinguisher and was able to put out the fire and I was informed and shown by the cary fire department where the fire had started and that there was a recall for that part in which I'm the fourth owner of. It took three weeks to get a reply from their general counsel department and in my eyes this needs to be expedited as I'm paying for a rental car that I can't afford... I'm not impressed by lack of urgency as I have no vehicle to get to and from work which is how I provide for me and my child.

My 2002 ford expedition has suffered numerous electrical problems. I received a letter from ford the recall about the cruise control switch no operating properly, my cruise control went out a while back I did not think any thing of it till my truck would start up but would not come out of park, and when I tried to change the fuses they were popping as I changed them out. Will ford replace all damaged items due to the cruise control switch. My actuator switch blew out and numerous problems are going on with my vehicle now due to these electrical errors.
