THE WINDSHIELD LEAKS ON THIS MODEL STYLE AND THE WATER RUNS DOWN TO THE GEM MODULE AND FUSE BOX CAUSING THE GEM MODULE TO SHORT OUT AND THE ELECTRONICS DO WHAT EVER THEY WANT TO. THE TRUCK WILL START ON ITS OWN EVEN IF OFF OR RUNNING AND DRIVING WITH THE STARTER ENGAGING. WINDOWS ROLL DOWN THE ALARM ACTIVATES RADIO COMES ON ALL THE ELECTRONICS COME ON AT THERE OWN EVEN WHEN PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FROM MY RESEARCH TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE CAR CAN EVEN ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS IT CAN CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AS IT HAS WITH MYSELF. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THE LEAK IS VERY COMMON. *TR

WE BOUGHT A USED F-150 AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR A YEAR. AFTER A HEAVY RAIN, THE ALARM WENT OFF AND ON, LIGHTS FLASHED, DOOR CHIME WENT OFF WHEN THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION, ETC. HAYWARD FORD IN CA LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SINCE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY "JUST RAN OUT," THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US $150 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SAID FORGET THAT AND TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE AUTO ELECTRICAL PLACE. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD US THAT IT WAS INDEED A LEAKY WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY EVEN GAVE US THE PAPER THAT FORD PUTS OUT TELLING MECHANICS WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF THE LEAKY WINDSHIELD (BASICALLY TO SEAL THE WINDSHIELD WITH BUTYL SEALANT). I CALLED FORD BACK AND THEY SUDDENLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, BUT SAID...

FRONT WINDSHIELD-THE WINDSHIELD WOULD RATTLE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY EVERYTIME WE WOULD BE IN THE TRUCK. TOOK IT IN TO ADVISE THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY DID WAS RESEAL IT. TOOK IT IN AGAIN THE SECOND TIME AND THEY DID THE SAME THING. AFTER THE THIRD TIME I MADE THEM PUT IN A NEW WINDSHIELD. 2 WEEKS AGO THIS CRACKED IN HALF. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. ALSO THE REAR END WAS LEAKING. *AK
