What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 1999 ford expedition. After driving the vehicle for approximately three minutes and then parking, the contact noticed smoke underneath the hood. She lifted the hood and noticed flames coming from the driver's side of the vehicle. The failure originated at the master cylinder. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 130,000.
Frankly, I need your advice on a matter of great concern I bought a 1999 ford expedition from waldorf ford in oct 2002. Recently I had a break down; I had three spark plugs blow-out, yesterday I was told that three cylinders are gone due from the damage of the spark plugs. The assistant team mgr said it would cost $6000.00 to get a new engine or get a new vehicle; I couldn't believe my ears. These trucks are lemons and I believe its time that ford take responsibility for their actions and recalls these engine.
