Complaint Summary
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owner Narrative
I HAVE OWNED A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION FOR APPROX. 3 YRS. AND ON NOV. 22, 2017 WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY WORK(APPROX. 3HRS) IT DECIDED TO LIGHT ITSELF ON FIRE! I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND AM EXTREMELY ANGRY AS I HAVE PUT OVER $10,000 WORTH OF UPGRADES TO THE VEHICLE. HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT IMMEDIATELY. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 05V017000 AND FORD RECALL NUMBER IS 05S28. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESPONSE. BEFORE I CONTACT AN ATTORNEY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THE NHTSA CAN DO TO HELP? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
