Consumer Description

Expedition would not shut off! Electrical system burning and burned up fuse box battery and sensors could not kill power to vehicle. We had to pull full pump relay to shut off engine and then disconnect battery to shut down electrical system. This caused not only much damage to fuse box wiriring and battery. Ford dealer says 2500-3000 in damage to vehicle. This could have caused battery to explode or electrical fire glad this wasn’t parked in my garage and we where able to keep car from catching fire Expedition did have the previous recall done for electrical and still have issues with wiring
