Consumer Description

HAVE OWNED MY 2001 FORD EXPEDITION FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS. HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND WHEN IN RAINS, I HAVE TO KEEP TOWELS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF LEAKING WINDOWS. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS LEAK IN THE SAME SPOT. MANY TIMES I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD. NOW WHEN I SHUT MY VEHICLE OFF, THE BLOWER FANS TURNS ON AND RUNS UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD. I ALSO WILL BE DRIVING, AND ALL MY DASH LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE GEM MODULE AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY COULD CAUSE A FIRE, EVEN WHEN NOT RUNNING. I AM HEARING ESTIMATES FOR REPAIR OF UP TO $1,500.00. IN MY RESEARCH ON THIS, IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT, NOR AN INEXPENSIVE ONE TO FIX. *TR
