Wiring problems of the 2002 Ford Expedition

On the evening of July 7th, 2015 at approximately 10:45 p. M. We heard a commotion outside our apartment complex and discovered my '02 Expedition fully on fire and being doused by the local fire department. It had just come back from repairs that afternoon - to the pigtail switch and re-wiring in the steering column due to loss of turn signals and radio. Not only was my car destroyed, but the cars on either side were damaged, as well as damage to the apartment complex. We retained an attorney and our initial report from the fire department stated the cause as "faulty wiring. " the private fire investigator we retained has advised our attorney that the fire is due to the flawed cruise control system that has been the cause of hundreds of other fires in Ford vehicles. We intend to pursue this matter legally and would sincerely appreciate any assistance or advise your office can provide.

About two weeks before my car wouldn't go into drive I had it towed to the dealers. They fixed the problem it was a brake swith and soliniod. That needed replacing $300. 00 later its fixed. During the weeked my cruise control light kept flashing. My mother, daughter and I were waiting for my son who was at track practice on Monday 4-25-2011. We were waiting in the car and listening to the radio. I started my car to make sure it was going to start. As I started it it was full of smoke so I open the hood and there was a little spark fire. I look into my car to find water and I returned to attend to the problem and it was in full flame. I called the fire department to report fire. The parking lot was full of parents and children also waiting for there children. There's serious fire damage under the hood wires and sensors. I have taken pictures as proof. Oil spills from the resovior. Thank god we were there to stop it from loosing the vechile and our lives. I wanted to find out information for myself. What I need to do? is this Fords fault for not informing me that there's been thousand of cases of mine. I bought my car less than a year ago. I was never notified of any recalls or faultly wiring let alone car fires??? my kids and I don't know if it's drivable. I haven't drove it since. I am going to Ford dealership tomorrow 4-29-11.

2002 Ford Expedition had an under hood fire that ignited in the wire bank near wiper motor. *** no answer required*** the consumer was told the fire had nothing to do with the recall notice that he received. The consumer was told the problem appeared to be in the wiring and not the bulbs or fuses. The complained that the directional light was not working. The consumer was then told the multi-function switch needed to be replaced.
