| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE RISING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE LIFTED THE HOOD, FLAMES WERE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR TWO HOURS. THE DEALER REFERENCED RECALL # 05V388000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL), BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 83,000. |
| 2000 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM A FAMILY TRIP GOING THE POSTED INTERSTATE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A MAJOR LEAK HAD JUST OCCURRED. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM I DISCOVERED THE REAR SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD EJECTED ITSELF DESTROYING THE THREADS THAT HOLD IT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD AND ALSO DESTROYING THE HELI COIL PACK THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE SPARK PLUG. I HAVE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT OR SAFETY REPORT ON ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS TIME THE ONLY REASON I AM FILING A REPORT IS DUE TO THE FREQUENCY THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE ON FORD TRITON MOTORS. IT SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND UPON VERY LITTLE INVESTIGATING ON MY PART I HAVE FOUND THAT EVERY PERSON I HAVE TALKED TO ABOUT IT EITHER OWNS A VEHICLE WITH THE SAID MOTORS IN THEM AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, OR IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A PERSON WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I AM A DEDICATED AND LOYAL FORD OWNER AND ALWAYS WILL BE, HOWEVER I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WHEN A PROBLEM OCCURS WITH SUCH FREQUENCY THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEP UP AND MAKE GOOD ON ISSUES THAT CLEARLY HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR WELL OVER A DECADE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. *TR |
