| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 3 occasions this year,2005 ( july, november and december) when humidity is really high, and/or snow would cover my 2001 ford expedition, i would have unexplainable electrical problems. either my headlight won't shut off, the blower would not shut when turning engine off, power windows wont work, seated heat won't work, abs light would turn on. an unusual ticking sound under the steering wheel could be heard intermittently. after a day or two, the problem seem to self resolve. this then makes it difficult because the ford dealers aren't able to help me if the problem was resolved. the most recent incident in december was the most frustrating. i consulted 3 ford dealers and non of them would fix it for me. i have 78,000 miles on my truck and i did buy the premium extended warranty up to 100,000. the dealer said, we won't fix your problem because leaks is not covered in your warranty and that is the cause of your problem. i even pointed out to the dealers that i read on nhtsa web site that this was not as uncommon as what i thought it was ( referring to nvs-212cag ea05-015). none of them would help me without me paying at least $600 just to check the truck ,because they said it required opening the dash board. *jb |
