NHTSA Complaint #10298635 — 2000 FORD EXPEDITION

I OWN A 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. I AM HAVE CONTINUING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. INITIALLY, ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE, WHENEVER IT RAINED MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO HAYWIRE. THE 4X4 LIGHTS WOULD BLINK ON AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNINGS LIGHTS INCLUDING A CLICKING NOISE. I WOULD TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE BLOWER MOTOR WOULD CONTINUE TO BLOW WITHOUT THE KEY IN. WHEN DRIVING THE RADIO, ODOMETER AND CLOCK WOULD GO ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS TOLD THE WINDSHIELD WAS LEAKING INTO THE GEM MODULE AND FUSE BOX AND I HAD TO HAVE A NEW WINDSHIELD PUT IN AS WELL AS THE GEM MODULE REPLACED. I DID THIS AND THE TRUCK WAS OKAY FOR A FEW MONTHS. MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH, THE 4X4 LIGHT, THE BATTERY LIGHT AS WELL AS THE BATTERY CONTROL SHOWING LOW. THE BLOWER CONTINUES TO TURN ON WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED AS WELL AS THE RUNNING BOARD LIGHTS REMAINING ON. I HAVE HAD TO DISCONNECT AND REPLACE THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES. I AM CONCERNED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND FOREMOST BECAUSE OF THE ABS LIGHT AS WELL AS FIRE HAZARD. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THESE CONTINUAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR
