Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION THAT HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT IS APPARENTLY DUE TO A WINDSHIELD LEAK THAT CAUSES THE GEM MODULE TO SHORT OUT. THIS FIRST HAPPENED TO ME A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2007. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START, DASH CLICKING NOISE , LOCKS UNLOCKING AND LOCKING CONTINUOUSLY, LIGHTS ON DASH WOULDN'T GO OUT, AFTER KEY IS REMOVED DASH INFO LIGHTS STILL ON. WHEN VEHICLE DID START RADIO WOULDN'T WORK AND BY THE WAY IT WAS RAINING/ICY. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, RADIO NOT WORKING ALL PROBLEMS HAPPEN ONLY WHEN IT IS RAINING. I PERSONALLY CANNOT AFFORD THE $1,000. OR SO DOLLARS IT IS APPARENTLY GOING TO COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND HAVE COME TO DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE, I AM AFRAID THIS SHORT COULD CAUSE AND ENGINE FIRE. *TR
