| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own 2000 ford expedition. just found out the windshield is leaking, causing water to get into fuse box and gem module under dash causing major electrical problems. the 4-way flashers came on while driving; the blower stayed on even after removing the key from the ignition, etc. had windshield replaced today and it only took 1 minute to break the seal. the repair guy said it should take at least 20 minutes and that if we would have had a wreck the windshield would have fallen out. i've done extensive research on internet and found this is a very common problem in 1997-2001 f150's, expeditions and navigators, but especially the 2000 expedition. the seal used by ford around the windshield dry rots causing the leak. service man at ford acknowledged the problem but says no recall has been issued. *ak |
