| 1997 expedition spontaneously caught fire in the driveway 45 minutes after it had been driven. the fire department and police came and put out what was almost a catastrophic house fire. the truck was a total loss. to replace it with something comparable we bought a 99 expedition. we were out $8000 in the trade. the older expedition had one car payment left on it before the fire. now i am horrified that we have another on in the driveway.*ak | |||
