Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On november 11, 2005 driving my ford expedition on highway 410 and jones maltberger in the city of san antonio texas. my car was on fire in the front hood. i believe it got caught on fire because it has a defective speed control causing on the vehicle control deactivation switch because it overheated and smoke and burning under the hood happened. i contacted ford and they don't want to be responsible to make repairs. ford sent an inspector on january 4, 2006, who was in charge of the case from consumer affairs. he sent a letter, and concern was reviewed and was not able to verify it as a manufacturer's defect. also, could not offer assistance at this time. *ak. updated 4/6/2006 - *nm. updated on 05/16/2006- *ak
