| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We first noticed a problem when it was raining. the airbag light would intermittently come on. then we also started to notice that the heater / a/c fan would continue to run after the vehicle was shut off. on sunday 4/30/06, i was driving in the rain on a freeway & the wiper light started to come on & the airbag light was on. every once in a while, the wipers would not work properly. on my way home, again on the freeway in the rain, the wiper light & the 4x4 light would flash off & on at the same time & again, the at times the wipers would not work properly. the next morning as i drove to work, again in the rain, only the 4x4 light was flashing & the rear wiper would not work. also, the front wipers did not work intermittently. i specificity recall turning the heater fan off that morning before leaving the vehicle. after work, i attempted to unlock my vehicle w/the remote unlock & it would not unlock. i manually unlocked the vehicle & the dash lights were on. it looked like i had not turned the key off all of the way, but i did! and the vehicle would not start. i had to walk a couple of miles to my husband's work & he had to take his lunch early to bring me home. ford had better get a recall out on this. not only is it very inconvenient, but when your wipers don't work in the rain, it is very dangerous!!! i had to get the vehicle towed the next day. after the repair facility sent 2 1/2 days trying to determine the source of the problem, they discovered that water was leaking by the windshield onto the gem module & the fuse panel. not only do i have to pay $477 for the parts only, i also have to pay to have the windshield resealed. what a joke!! *nm |
