| I drove the about 3 miles, and parked the truck, then the vehicle caught on fire in front of the wal-mart. it had been parked for about 1 hour before we got notified that the truck was engulfed in flames and a explosion came from the engine compartment area. 911 was called and the fired dept came and put the fire out. the fire department was unable to determine the cause of the fire, but stated we need to contact the maufactor, and they gave me a case number as well (prince william county - cas-2209047 | |||

| I have a 2000 ford expedition the past 3 days we have had hard rains. i went out to my car and found that the floor on both the drivers sides and passenger side of the suv was flooded. my radio was on the car was not. the dash light were going crazy. i started the car to move it so that i could get it near an outlet to use the wet vac to remove the water and the wipers would not work. i removed the water from the floors and when i went to move my expedition it would not start it seems that it is leaking from the windsheild. i noticed that there are alot of complaints on water leakage on expeditions. now i am worried that the water may have shorted out the electrical system. | |||

| I thought when i bought this car that i would have a vehicle to take my son to get his chemotherapy but i thought wrong! it started with the air suspension that dropped to the ground when my shocks gave out and the rear airbags couldn't hold the weight of the vehicle but i was sitting in the car rider line at my son's school at a dead stop when they decided to go. (so much easier to look the fool) we then found hoses that had corroded apart that were vaccum hoses and thinking that was the problem we fixed them. it wasn't the problem. i didn't know then that my shocks were completely gone until we were jacking up the car and removing the back tires to inspect the airbags better when we saw that the rust had completely taken over the whole under carriage. now i have front & rear trailing arms that have numerous holes from the rust eating through them, along with the fuel tank straps that have almost rotted themselves loose, and almost completely broken ball joints. i want to know who is coming to take my son to get his chemo since i don't have the money to run out and buy a new car? i give my cash to ford to keep my car afloat. i have had this car for 10 months and i owe $2800 but the thing is that it cost more for me to fix everything and replace all dry rotted lines, rust, ect and buy coil springs which i hear now have as many problems. is ford going to pay for my son a new car since it is like this one would be totaled since it cost more to fix than it's worth? no, they don't care and i hope when they go home after reading this they can look their own child in the face knowing that my son doesn't have a ride to chemo 30 miles away! i guess it will take wrecking my car accidentally and killing the child i fought for 10 yrs to keep alive for insurance to pay for it or is ford going to have heart doing the right thing by recalling the things they know is their faults? | |||

| 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 was driving 65 mph on the florida turnpike when i heard a loud bang from the back of my 2000 ford expedition. i looked in the rearview mirror to see a tires rolling and being tossed down the turnpike with cars trying to dodge the tire. i thought i had just rolled over the tire but when i got home i looked under the truck and noticed the tire was gone ans the winch cable was broken. luckily nobody seemed to get hit by the tire but i can;t be sure. | |||

| As i was driving my 2000 ford expedition down my steep driveway, i felt a hard bump and felt like i hit something. i looked out my rearview mirror and saw my tire rolling down the street! the tire was our full-size spare that had been secured under the truck. the happened last year, 2007 around spring time. luckily, i was just coming out my own driveway and not driving down the freeway with my children. i would have filed this sooner but just found this website today. we have not taken the truck to the dealer to see what broke off but now that i see we may need to for the cruise control recall from 2005..we were in south korea and never received any recall notifications over there. anyway, if you've had numerous complaints similar to mine, it may be worth checking into before someone else loses a spare in the middle of a crowded freeway. thank you, christine holloway *tr | |||

| I have a 2000 ford expedition, this is the second time a spark plug has blown out of the cylinder, i did some searching and found thousands of other people with the same problem, the last one was a ways from home and i drove it home, just found out that the car could have caught fire. it's time ford did something about this potentially dangerous problem and i hope you can help. thanks john bendik *tr | |||
