After parking vehicle in garage, smelled burning rubber and called 911. Was able to roll vehicle out of garage and fire dept put out fire under hood. Vehicle was totaled.
A fuse blew & the windows wouldn't go up. When I replaced it smoke started pouring out from under the hood of my Ford Expedition 2002, eddie bower which was parked in my garage. I took out the fuse & tried to back the Expedition out of the garage but I couldn't take it out of park. I put the fuse back in & flew out of the garage smoke again coming out from under the hood. I took out the fuse & open the hood. The smoke was coming from a senor on the master cylinder. I sprayed the fire extinguisher on it and unplugged it. I put it in the shop & they change the cruise control brake switch. The same part was recalled on my f150 XLT 2000 pick-up. My cruise control & horn won't work now & the shop doesn't know what is wrong to fix but I can put the fuse in & the windows go up & down, & we can drive it. The shop said that when this part goes out it lets a charge feed back to the ground side & can cause fires. It is the same part as was recalled on my pick-up!.
I currently own a 2002 Ford Expedition. A recall was performed (at an authorized Ford dealer) to correct an issue with the cruise control switch possibly overheating and causing a vehicle fire. On December 30th 2005, my Expedition became engulfed in flames while parked. The vehicle was a total loss.
