Consumer Description

OUR 2000 FORD EXPEDITION SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AFTER SITTING FOR 2 DAYS. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. I AM APPALLED THAT CONGRESS IS SO UPSET AT TOYOTA WHEN FORD KNOWS THAT 11 MILLION VEHICLES HAVE THESE FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO GET FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. OUR HOUSE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND MY WIFE AND 2 DOGS ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES. THE SAME DAY IN A NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY ANOTHER FAMILY'S HOUSE WAS BURNED DOWN BY A 2001 EXPEDITION WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ARE YOU SO CRITICAL OF A FOREIGN COMPANY AND SO AMBIVALENT TO A DOMESTIC CAR COMPANY WITH A HISTORY OF DEFECTS THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR? THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL EXPLODING AND KILLING PEOPLE AND YET I DO NOT HEAR ANY OUTRAGE OVER THIS.*TR
