| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Beginning april 2005, our 2000 ford expedition has had electrical problems that occur almost any time it rains. the water leaks under the hood and shorts out the truck. we had to replace the gem module and fuse box at our expense since the truck was out of warranty. our mechanic cannot replicate the leak after many attempts and he even went to a ford dealership for their assistance. they also could not solve the problem. our truck has been towed numerous times to our mechanic dead on arrival. the truck is completely unreliable if it rains. this is a known problem. we have seen discussions about it on various websites. we wrote to ford after the first occurrence but ford said they would not take responsibility for it. our mechanic has been extremely helpful and understanding about this, but at some point, if i were him, i would close my shop if i saw our truck coming on the back of a tow truck one more time. *jb |
