“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUSE BOX AND GEM MODULE MULTI-FUNCTION FAILED DUE TO A WATER LEAK FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,084.”

“OUR BATTERY DIED BECAUSE THE AIR FAN INSIDE THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. ONCE I GOT CAR JUMP STARTED NOTICED THAT MANY ELECTRICAL DEVICES WERE EITHER NOT WORKING OR TURNING ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUED AFTER I REPLACED BATTERY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDSHIELD IN 1999 FORD EXPEDITION LEAKED CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORTAGES IN MOST ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE CAR. AND WOULD COST $1000.00 TO FIX AND THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR ANOTHER $200.00. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. *TR”

“IT STARTED OFF WITH A BEEPING, THAT HAPPENED ONCE AND A WHILE. I ALSO NOTICED WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON BLACK DUST LIKE STUFF WOULD BLOW OUT. THEN ONE DAY MY HUSBAND AND I HEARD THE EXPEDITION TRYING TO START. NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION, NO ONE IN THE TRUCK! MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISABLE THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO STOP. WE WERE GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER,BUT WHEN WE STARTED IT, IT CONTINUED TO TRY AND TURN OVER. THEREFORE MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AGAIN AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR A TRUCK HAULER TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER. WHILE AT THE DEALER WE TOLD THEM IT COULDN'T BE STARTED, BECAUSE OF IT TRYING TO TURN OVER, BUT APPARENTLY THEY DID LET IT RUN AND NOW WE HAVE STARTER PROBLEMS. ALSO THEY HAD THE WINDSHIELD SEAL REPLACED, BUT IT STILL LEAKS. WE WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THEM TO HAVE THEIR REPAIRS REPAIRED. IT'S A SHAME, I WAS SO PROUD OF MY SUV, NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW. *TR”
