NHTSA Complaint #10595545 — 2000 FORD EXPEDITION

IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING PERIODICALLY THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN ON SATURDAY NIGHT 5/31/14 AT APPROX. 11:30 AM "[XXX]" SHOWED UP AND MY CAR WAS TRYING TO START ITS SELF. IT MADE A CLICKING SOUND FOR ABOUT 30 MINS WITH THE LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON. THE SOUND WAS LIKE A DEAD BATTERY SOUND. THEN IT WOULD TRY TO START ITSELF. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT AND HOUR AND THEN IT FINALLY STOPPED. I ASSUMED THAT THE NEXT MORNING MY BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD BUT WHEN I WENT OUT SUNDAY MORNING IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO RUN MY ERRANDS. THIS MORNING MONDAY 6/2 I WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK AND IT WOULD NOT START BUT THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT CONTINUED TO MAKE A CLICKING SOUND EVEN THOUGH I ASSUMED THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I AM SCARED TO DO ANYTHING, LIKE JUMP THE BATTERY , FOR FEAR IT WILL EXPLODE OR CATCH FIRE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
