Consumer Description

2000 EXPEDITION, WHICH I'VE OWNED SINCE NEW AND NEVER BEEN DAMAGED IN AN ACCIDENT, ~53,000 MILES IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT AT TIMES ARE SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL. STARTED WITH FRONT WIPERS RUNNING CONSTANTLY, NOW SOMETIMES THEY WORK SOMETIMES THEY DONT. RADIO DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES. ALL GAUGES GO TO THEIR EXTREME LIMIT, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER. DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED A COMPUTER MODULE BEHIND THE DASH THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY WATER. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EXPEDITIONS AND IS CAUSED BY WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW AND DOWN ONTO THE MODULE. ONCE THE MODULE IS REPLACED A NEW WINDOW AND SEALANT IS RECOMMENDED. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT WINDOW IS ORIGINAL. THIS COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO USE THE WIPERS. COULD THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BE LINKED TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR 2000 EXPEDITIONS WHERE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SHORTING?
