Consumer Description

CAR WAS DEAD WHEN I WOKE UP. JUMPED IT, SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK AFTERWARD. LIGHTS IN RIGHT HAND CORNER BLINK ON AND OFF I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD DEALER IT IS A GEM MODULE IS GETTING WATER IN IT BUT I DO NOT HAVE A LEAK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT BECOMES DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T MOVE SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT RAINS (WHICH IS EVERYDAY IN SEATTLE) I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. *TR
