Consumer Description

ON JUNE 3, 2013 MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED 7 DAYS PRIOR EXPLODED IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 2HRS. THE FIRE ALSO CAUGHT OUR 2008 COBALT ABLAZE AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY THAT BOTH VEHICLES WERE PARKED AT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE HAS NOT BEEN A CAUSE OF THE FIRE DETERMINED BUT I DID FIND A RECALL NOTICE ON THE EXPEDITION THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2005 FROM FORD. APPARENTLY THIS RECALL EFFECTED THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM THAT LED TO AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT CAUSING THESE EXPLOSIONS. I WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS RECALL FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO IS A FORD EMPLOYEE AND HE SWEARS THAT HE WAS NEVER SENT ANY RECALL LETTERS FROM FORD IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
