Problems with 2000 Ford Expedition ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

On may first of 2014 my check engine light and oil light came on. i assumed i needed oil, so i went to the advanced auto store and purchased some oil. i put the oil in and began to proceed home. i was driving and the oil light was showing as hot. the car would not give enough power for me to drive, it began to shake. the car is not drivable anymore. it is still doing the same thing. after some research i discovered that this car's make and model is a recall car. i need to know what to do. *tr

I drove the about 3 miles, and parked the truck, then the vehicle caught on fire in front of the wal-mart. it had been parked for about 1 hour before we got notified that the truck was engulfed in flames and a explosion came from the engine compartment area. 911 was called and the fired dept came and put the fire out. the fire department was unable to determine the cause of the fire, but stated we need to contact the maufactor, and they gave me a case number as well (prince william county - [xxx]" information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I own a 2000 ford expedition with a 5.4 liter triton engine which experienced a spark plug blow out. so far, nhtsa has not required ford to issue a recall for a problem that many others have had with the same type of engine. ford does not accept responsibility for a defective design of this engine. i am now forced to pay $3,000 to fix the problem before i can even consider trading it in or trying to sell it. *tr

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

We have a 2000 ford expedition that blew out a spark plug about 6 months ago and this weekend it blew out another spark plug. the first time it happened i was driving to town and my truck started to run rough and sounded awful. this time my son happened to be driving it and it did the same thing. we had to get it towed back home plus have someone to fix it. the garage that fixed it used a helicoil repair kit. i guess that they will do the same thing this time. i sure am disappointed in the fact that it keeps costing me money to fix. i think that ford needs to recall the suv. *tr
