2000 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

I OWN A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION AND MY SPARK PLUG EJECTED OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. WHEN IS ANYONE GOING TO MAKE FORD FESS UP TO THEIR DESIGN FLAW AND ISSUE A RECALL OR AT LEAST FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR THEIR CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE? *TR

WHEN THE KEY IS TAKEN OUT OF MY IGNITION, THE BLOWER MOTOR TO THE HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING GOES TO FULL BLAST. I THEN HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER NOT TO DRAIN THE BATTERY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS RAINING OUT. APPARENTLY THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS TO THE GEM BOX AND SHORTS IT OUT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON MAY 19, 2007 FOR A RECALL REMEDY REPAIR PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V388000, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. THE VEHICLE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE CONSEQUENCE MENTIONED IN THE RECALL WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND SUDDENLY, AN ALARM SOUNDED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THEN THE VEHICLE ERUPTED INTO MASSIVE FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AMBULANCE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE CONTACT IS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WINDSHIELD LEAKS ONTO FUSE BOX & GEM MODULE, CAUSING ENGINE TO CUT OFF WHILE MOVING CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

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

SERIOUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS CONSISTING OF FAN BLOWING WITHOUT VEHICLE BEING STARTED, RADIO GOING ON AND OFF, 4X4 LIGHT BLINKING, CLICKING NOISES, STARTER TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WHILE ALREADY STARTED, POPPING NOISES, WINDOWS WORKING AND NOT WORKING. BATTERY BEING DRAINED. ALL THIS AFTER SNOWSTORM. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION XLT AND WENT TO UNLOCK IT THIS MORNING WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE, THE RADIO CAME ON ALONG WITH THE ABS, AIRBAG, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. THE RADIO IS STILL ON RIGHT NOW. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD THE SAME EPISODE AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 98' - 02' MODEL EXPEDITIONS. WE RECENTLY HAD ALOT OF RAIN AND I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS COMING FROM. I'M JUST GLAD I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE TODAY. *TR

WATER LEAKING INTO FUSE BOX AFTER HEAVY RAIN STORM. SIZZLING NOISE AND SMOKE EMINATING FROM FUSE BOX. *TR

I OWN A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. I AM HAVE CONTINUING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. INITIALLY, ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE, WHENEVER IT RAINED MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO HAYWIRE. THE 4X4 LIGHTS WOULD BLINK ON AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNINGS LIGHTS INCLUDING A CLICKING NOISE. I WOULD TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE BLOWER MOTOR WOULD CONTINUE TO BLOW WITHOUT THE KEY IN. WHEN DRIVING THE RADIO, ODOMETER AND CLOCK WOULD GO ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE WINDSHIELD WAS LEAKING INTO THE GEM MODULE AND FUSE BOX AND I HAD TO HAVE A NEW WINDSHIELD PUT IN AS WELL AS THE GEM MODULE REPLACED. I DID THIS AND THE TRUCK WAS OKAY FOR A FEW MONTHS. MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH, THE 4X4 LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT AS WELL AS THE BATTERY CONTROL SHOWING LOW. THE BLOWER CONTINUES TO TURN ON WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED AS WELL AS THE RUNNING BOARD LIGHTS REMAINING ON. I HAVE HAD TO DISCONNECT AND REPLACE THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND FOREMOST BECAUSE OF THE ABS LIGHT AS WELL AS FIRE HAZARD. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THESE CONTINUAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

ON 1/1/2010 - MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION BURST INTO FLAMES. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING WELL WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. I HAD JUST PARKED THE CAR AND MY SON AND I WENT INSIDE TO A STORE. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE STORE MANAGER REMARKED THAT THERE WAS A CAR ON FIRE. IT WAS MY CAR. THE SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER SIDE CLOSER TO THE WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. WEATHER WAS NOT AN ISSUE AS IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE, AROUND 20 DEGREES. I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH FORD SUVS BURSTING INTO FLAMES DUE TO FAULTY SWITCH-RELATED FIRES. I TOOK MY CAR IN WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND GOT THE FIX. SO I AM REALLY PERPLEXED AND ANGRY THAT THIS HAPPENED AND EVEN MORE SO SINCE MY 9 YEAR OLD WAS WITH ME! MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY HURT! THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE HAVE RULED OUT ANY FOULPLAY BASED ON THEIR REPORT. *TR
