Appears when it rains, the vehicle will not start. Took same to a local shop that specialize in electrical systems. They could not find anything wrong and advised they were aware of windshield leakage. They advised they did not see any evidence of leakage. Vehicle can be driven several months with no issues, but appears to occur when there is a heavy rain. Upon reviewing other post, it appears this is a longer existing problem with the year and make vehicle.

But, after the most recent incident the vehicle did not start and was towed to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test and determined there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. And charged the contact for the work.

Dt: 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.

The truck will not start, even though there is power. After waiting a few hours it starts up without a problem. It may run fine for a couple days and then have numerous problems for days on end. This has been going on for more than a month now. Called three dealerships and was forced to take it back to the original dealership (two hours away). The problem did not happen when at the dealership, was not logged on the computer and was charged $100.00 to do nothing. I have heard from numerous people that this is a common problem with the alarm system (that does not log problems on the computer) that is under warranty. Have called ford customer service and was told that there was nothing that they could do. After numerous times of lack of starting, the original dealership told me that we needed to leave the truck with them for an extended period of time (three to four days).

Vehicle continually experiences a no start/turn over condition, consumer can jump the vehicle with cables and it is fine, this situation happens speratically, dealer does not know what the problem is, they have replaced the module, however it still continues.
