“I have not had an incident with my 1998 Ford expedition, but I am scared senseless having read the many reports by owners who have. I have two daughters ages 3 and 7 who ride daily in our family vehichle. I am urging you to consider a mandatory recall on expeditions with similar cruise control systems to the 2000 models. Please don't allow anyone else to suffer or die.”
