Contact stated whenever it rained 2000, Ford, Expedition leaked rain water. The rain leaked in on right side of the vehicle around the bottom of the windshield above the driver's dashboard. The leak shut off the electrical system. This was observed on January 2, 2006. The vehicle has been taken to an independent repair shop, where the contact was told by the mechanic that this was a manufacturing defect.

When it rains water leaks onto the gem module and fuse box under the dashboard left of the steering column. Some of the effects are, windshield wipers stopping, transmission going into limp mode with od light flashing, battery going dead if raining overnight, speedometer not working, heater fan running while off, left front power window not working, and instrument panel warning lights flashing on and off. Everything comes back to normal after it dries out. I had the windshield replaced. I had the new windshield resealed twice. I had to replace the battery. I still can see water dripping next to the parking brake. I have browsed the net and found that this is a common problem with Expeditions and f150's. I would like Ford to take responsibility and repair this defect.

Dt: the consumer states whenever it rains or snows, the windshield leaks causing the windshield wipers to stop working, the lights flashed, the radio did not working, and then at times the vehicle will not start. The module has been replaced three times and the windshield has been repaired twice, now it is being replaced again.

Dt has a glare problem with the windshield, almost liking looking in a mirror because dashboard lights interfere with the visibility of driving down the road. Had a dark towel on the dashboard to help with the glare. Noticed this almost immediately. Been to the dealer, they had consumer call Ford because other customers had the same problem.

I noticed when ever I drove my car in the rain water would leak on my right leg and foot, my wipers, radio and clock would stop working and I heard a sizzling noise in the left dash area. I also was unable to use my keyless remote, the alarm would go off every time. I brought my 2000 Expedition to hayward Ford to have them check and repair the problem in March of this year. They could not find anything leaking, or the sizzling noise I heard in the dash, however they did tell me there was a damaged junction box and kept my car for 5 days (they were waiting for the parts to come), well after 5 days of having a rental that also cost me money, I went and picked up my Expedition. It made no sense to me to have the junction box replaced since they could not find where the leaking problem was. On June 8, 2005 I brought my Expedition into another Ford dealer (the Ford store san leandro) hoping they could find the problem. Well they found the problem, they said the windshield was leaking and had caused damage to the central junction box and gem module. This was also why I was unable to use my keyless remote. I was also informed that these repairs were not covered by esp warranty. I was told that this was a circumstantial issue. They also had to replace the windshield because when they removed it, it broke. So $1,327. 78 and eight days later my Expedition was repaired. But when they replaced the windshield, they scratched my dash board in two places. Having read an article on cnn. Com, "feds probe Ford SUV water-leak reports", I would like to have my costs re-imbursed,as this should be a recall item.

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.

2001 Ford Expedition (eddie bauer) has had repeated water leaks in front windshield. I've had the window replaced once and repaired 2 more times, so far in the past 2 years. It caused my automatic head-light control switch to fail. Also my rear-winshield wipers failed once, but I'm not sure if it was related to a windshield leak.

I purchased a 1999 Ford Expedition eddie bauer 1 year ago last week. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. The latest problem is the one that concerns me the most. A few weeks ago the driver's side door lock would not operate. I could hear the motor trying to open the lock but nothing happened. A week after that I could not open my windows and the turn signals did not work. A week later my windshield wipers stopped working. We attributed the problem to a blown fuse which we replaced. The problem seemed to be fixed. The next day it rained and the fuse blew again, and again and again. The problem got worse as the brake lights went out. I brought the car into the dealership where I had purchased it. They discovered a leak in the windshield that seeped into the fuse box. The fuse box needed to be replaced and it was not covered under my warranty (that covers just about everything else. Ford esp extracare) this in my opinion should not have had to be paid for out of my pocket. It is a safety problem that I understand that didn't just happen to me. Me vehicle has not been in any accidents so I do not understand why the windshield is leaking. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Water leaked into the vehicle through the windshield seam, and shorted out the electrical system. Wipers were inoperative. The vehicle would not start. The fuse box and the windshield had to be replaced.

The vehicle does not start when there it rains, snows or any water relating issues. Also, causes other electrical problems. Dealer keeps replacing the computer, which never last. Dealership replaced the windshield, and that did not fix the problem. Ford has been contacted by the owner. Ford recommended that the owner try another dealership. The owner has been to more than one dealership to try to fix the problem, and they could not figure out the problem either. The vehicle has been in the shop over these issues between 6-12 times, and now the dealership will not even give the owner an invoice. Owner has spent about $4,000. 00 over 8 months on trying to fix this problem. This owner is not satisfied with the dealership or Ford. The water problems have been going on for two years. The wheel came off last year in July. The wheel started vibrating and the wheel just came off while driving. The wheel lugs: nuts and bolts brokenoff. 4 out of 5 lugs and nuts were missing. The odometer does not work. It blinks off and on. The odometer will stay off for months, when it comes back on the mileage may go forward or it may go backwards. The owner took the vehicle in and had the lug sand nuts a long with the rim and wheel repalced.

There is a leak through the windshield, enabling water to run down through the electronic module. This is causing the dashboard lights to turn on intermittently, and causing the vehicle to shut off. Dealer will repair for the second time at consumer's expense.

Dealer replaced the windshield, however the replacement also has spots which are only seen during the early morning and evening, the dealer is willing to replace with another brand of glass, however the Ford rep declined payment.

While driving behind a truck, a rock was thrown against windshield, causing a fingerwide crack from top to bottom of windshield.

While vehicle was parked overnight the glass cracked due to pressure. The dealer will be notified.

My Expedition has seriously dangerous problems with the front and rear windshield wipers: they turn on whenever they want, they do not turn on on demand and occasionally the washer fluid pump begins to pump fluid continuously for 30 seconds or more. The problem can sometimes be eliminated if I stop the car and restart it - only problem with that is that it's not always feasible to pull over and turn off the car. I have contacted the dealership and brought it in two times for repair. They cannot fix it, they tell me, because they don't have repair instructions from Ford in detroit. Basically, they don't seem to care that I'm driving a 6,200 pound vehicle that occasionally becomes impossible to control. Hmmmm!.
