          The federal government is ordering the Ford Motor Co. to hand over more information in the ongoing probe into fires happening in certain trucks and sport utility vehicles. The development comes as the Local 2 Troubleshooter investigation into the fires prompts action from a member of Congress, the station reported Friday.
          "It's important that we get to the bottom of this," U.S. Rep. Ted Poe said.
          The Houston-area congressman is looking for answers. After watching the Local 2 Troubleshooters investigations into fires happening in Ford F-150s, Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators across Houston and nationwide, Poe personally called the Ford Motor Company.
          "Texas is the No. 1 market for these vehicles in the entire United States. So, the casual starting of these fires has got to cease," he said.
          Poe's call to Ford comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently sent a letter to the carmaker asking for volumes of information regarding not only the speed control deactivation switch blamed for causing the fires, but information on the entire cruise control system and manufacturing process.
          The letter from NHTSA is also now asking for information on Ford Rangers, Explorers, Broncos and Econoline vehicles.
          All of those vehicles are equipped with speed control deactivation switches.
