Windshield wipers running in intermittent mode. Started to smell an electrical burning smell in the interior cabin. Windshield wipers started to move very slowly. I tried to turn wipers to on-slow and on-fast mode and they worked erratically. I pulled off road and stopped vehicle and smoke was pouring out of drivers side on outside of windshield where wiper motor is located. I ran for my fire extinguisher but did not have to use it. Wipers are not functioning at this time. I have not replaced any parts at this time and I am filling a complaint. I see there is a NHTSA campaign id# 01V258000 that I believe involves my vehicle. I called Ford Motor Company and they noted my concerns and said there was no recall on my vehicle at this time.

My 2000 Excursion was parked in the yard and we had just unloaded groceries. The 2 bottom doors were closed on the back of the vehicle and then the top door/window was closed normally as we always do and the whole window just shattered into 1000's of pieces. My husband jumped back when the glass started flying and falling so no one was injured. This happened once....window is still not replaced. I don't have the money to do it. That happened at the end of March. Two days ago, while the car was sitting in the driveway in front of the garage, overnight sometime, the right rear window did the same thing and shattered for no apparent reason. Now I have two windows gone and am unable to use my car. This happened on the night of the 22nd into the 23rd of May 2009 the windows were open enough for ventilation. Temp again was moderate, about 65-68. I don't understand this. Now I wonder when the next one will disintergrate and this vehicle is not even 10 years old. I feel the Ford company should do something about this. This car is not abused in any way and this should not have happened.
