Problems with 2000 Ford Expedition ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My expedition caught on fire parked in my driveway at least 30 minutes after driving it. i was able to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher and a water hose, but the plastic parts were were melted on the driver side. the battery was disconnected and i was told by a mechanic that it was the cruise control relay.

I was driving the down the street going to wal-mart on pendleton pike in indianapolis indiana the car shifted from drive to neutral on its own. i shifted it back in gear drove on to wal-mart then to went to aldis. when i came out of aldis also on pendleton pike the car wouldn't come out of park without key being in acc position foot on brake and playing with gearshit for approx 15 mins it was locked. then the power windows also went out in the same time that this all happened. now my car will not go into gear without messing with gearshift for several minutes and messing with ignition switch mutiple times before i can get car into motion.

My vehicle was parked in the driveway and i was alerted by my dogs barking. i opened my garage door to see the entire engine compartment on fire. the fire was so intense that everything under the hood had melted.the fire marshals said the alternator cause it

Tried to start with key out of the ignition. lights would not turn of. had to disconnect the battery. this would be life threatening if happened in a closed garage

The vehicle was parked in a store parking lot, not running/ignition off, and it caught fire under the hood near the brake master cylinder. the fire damaged everything in the upper portion of the engine compartment, the hood, the cowling and the grill. probably not repairable.

#7 spark plug blew out destroying the coil on plug with it. all the threads are stripped out and theres no way to put a new plug in it. was lucky i didn't have an engine fire from fuel venting out of spark plug hole. this is a triton 5.4l v8

Vehicle caught fire around 10:25 pm. vehicle was park and cold since the last time it was used was around 1:00 pm the same day. my wife got home and was parking her car a sudenly saw the ford expedition caching fire and flames coming out of the enginge compartment. vehicle is total there are no possibility of repair.

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

Driving normally during heavy rain wipers and radio went dead at highway speed and worked intermittently after that. after the rain stopped and car dried out wipers and radio worked normally again. carpet on left side under fuse panel and gem module, both of which have already been replaced was wet. this is a safety concern as it is extremely difficult to see when the wipers stop working unexpectedly. the cause seems to be the windshield wasn't sealed properly at the factory, as my father bought the vehicle new and said the windshield has always leaked. i purchased the vehicle from him. *tr

5 people in my vehicle driving 55mph on i40 around midnight when air suspension went out and everything in the dash went crazy. things cutting off and on moving backwards and forwards, when i cut it off so to not drive with air suspension down it would not restart unless you started it in neutral but the battery kept dying and exploded driving to shop,.got another battery, it exploded to. nothing electrical worked. door locks, windows,speedometer, stereo wouldn't come on then would come on by itself, lights to. air suspension would not work, been in the shop twice. first time they didn't know what was wrong. this time they know but i can afford to fix it. the gem module and fuse box is over 600.00 plus labor! im disabled with a fixed income and i haven't driven anywhere since feb i cant get to my doctor, grocery store, to get medicine for heart attack and other disabling illnesses. i cant afford another car or to fix my expo. this could have been dangerous i sure need some help with this.electrical system failure nhtsa preliminary evaluation #pe05033 status:closed date opened:june 15, 2005 date closed: october 13, 2005 ...

Battery will not kept a charger have to take off cable when cutting the truck off. lights not working in back ,no pick up speed

Summary: water leaked around the left side of windshield causing electrical failures, including but not limited to the starter, radio, windshield wipers, headlamps, etc. the water entering the vehicle wet the power distribution box (pdb) and the generic electronic module (gem). these components control various electrical systems in the vehicle. the vehicle continued to attempt to start itself without any key in ignition until it resulted in the starter burning up as well as damaging associated wiring and battery. vehicle's windshield had to be replaced as was the starter, associated wiring and battery after vehicle was towed to repair facility. *tr

Spark plug blow out. *tr

After an approximate 30 minute drive, vehicle was parked with the ignition off and key removed from vehicle. while unattended, the vehicle caught fire and burned completely to the ground. the vehicle was completely destroyed and is a total loss. witnesses reported smelling a strong electrical smell before fire was observed, and stated that flames and smoke were first observed coming from under the hood in the engine compartment. the vehicle was not parked near combustible materials such as dry grass, etc. the outside temperature was approximately 70 degrees. *tr

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
