| Vehicle experienced a no start. was towed to ford dealership for repair; diagnosed as failed fuel pump. fuel pump was replaced and old pump returned to me. the old pump has a melted and scorched electrical connector where the wiring comes into the pump motor, which in the presence of gasoline vapors, had the potential to be disastrous. i noted several other similar nhtsa complaints regarding this vehicle in this model year. pictures available upon request. | |||

| The fuel pump went out on our 2007 ford excursion while being operated. when examined, the mechanic stated that we were lucky the vehicle didn't catch fire or blow up since the wiring burned out on the fuel pump in the fuel tank. (i have pictures of the fuel pump that was removed). someone needs to investigate these fuel pumps and determine what caused the wiring to burn up. | |||

| 2007 ford expedition 119 wb. my fuel pump stopped working. when i pulled it out of the gas tank i was shocked. one connection had been burned and melted away. i would think that anything getting that hot to melt the plastic and have burn marks on it inside a gas tank would be really bad. i have pictures. | |||

| I have a 2007 ford expedition el . i lease a 4000 sq. ft. garage where i'm working to open my own dealership. on the morning of february 18, 2010 around 3am the expedition caught on fire all by itself. it started on the engine and worked its way back until the firefighters arrived and were able to put it down in a timely manner. the expedition is a total loss. the 2008 f350 crewcab dually i had parked next to it had some damage to the driver side and also extensive damage to the ceiling and insulation of the building. the police crime scene investigator mentioned right off the bet that these cars have a cruise control recall and it is common to many of them to catch on fire all by itself. i did some research online and found two major problem with these cars involving the risk of fire: a recall for the fuel rail assembly and a problem with the speed control deactivation switch being powered at all time and resulting in fire under certain conditions. since my lease started on february 1st and i'm in the process of opening and registering the business, i had no insurance all the time. the insurance of the garage's owner will cover the damage on the building but none of my car and truck damage. on top of loosing my car, my business will be shut down for about two to four weeks until the insurance get all paperwork and claim settled and owner gets the place all fixed up. all that's left for me is to find a way of getting ford to acknowledge and take responsibility for the default vehicle - not only mine, but the tens of thousands - they have driving on the streets putting at risk many homes and lives. that is pretty scary taking into consideration that there's many people that lost everything due to this fire and i was lucky enough not to loose everything i had. *tr | |||
