2000 Ford Explorer electrical complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 78 of 78, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wiring in back caught fire, most electrical components quit, severe smoke, had to have towed to dealer.
The turn signal and wiper switch were replaced prior to recall (oov-072) which was probably the reason for failure.
Vehicle was parked for over 24 hours when vehicle caught on fire for no apparent cause. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
While driving SUV up steep grade, it started to sputter. When crossiing 4 lane highway, it stalled and the "check engine light" came on. Restarted and continued to stall several times. Finally after several start / stalls it quit completely and would not restart. Took to nearest (was 2 hours from home) ford dealership and found nothing wrong with it after it finally would start. I don't feel safe in this SUV at all. I have to 2 small children and am afraid to take another vacation in it!
While driving explore engine check lights come on, and the explorer just stopped.. After a few seconds, the explorer will start again. This has been happened every single week for about a month. The dealership was not able to correct this explorer will to be towed to the dealership. Please provide any further information.
Consumer's wife was driving, rearview miror sparked a fire and caused the wires under dash to burn. Took vehicle to dealer, and they ordered a wiring harness. Bolts were taken out of the steering section at the dealer. Also, while driving at 55, steering wheel just started spinning because of the bolts that were left out.
This is a chronic problem affecting electronic (wipers, turn signal, instrumentation).
