#10341566 | July 6, 2010

LEAKING WINDSHIELD CAUSING DIFFERENT SYSTEMS TO ACT UNPREDICTABLY. CURRENTLY AC BLOWER FAN CIRCUIT BLOWN (FIXED 4X), CRUISE CONTROL DEAD AFTER INTERMITTENTLY WORKING (HIGH POTENTIAL OF FATALITY IF ACCELERATION OUT OF CONTROL). RADIO COMES ON AN OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY. NUMEROUS CODES SHOWING UP EVEN AFTER DELETING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS ( AT LEAST 4 YEARS). THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REPLACED AS PER TECHNICIAN BUT I STRONGLY FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD JUST PLUG THE LEAK FOR ALL THE EXPEDITIONS AND NAVIGATORS BEING AFFECTED BY THIS. OTHERS HAVE HAD MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM - WINDOWS OPENING AND CLOSING AUTOMATICALLY (NO USER ACTION). *TR
