I am having the same water leak problems that I've seen on here before. Water is getting into my fusebox every time it rains. I don't have the money to repair this so it is an ongoing safety hazard for me. I cannot believe this has not already been recalled after viewing all the complaints on the internet.

Windshield wipers, rear window wiper, windows, interior lights and moon roof quit working, apparent cause was gem module due to leaking windshield?
After a rain and ice storm water leaked around the windshield causing electrical failures, including but not limited to the windshield wipers and the headlamps. Water entered the engine of the vehicle through an improperly sealed windshield causing the power distribution box and the generic electronic module to get wet. These components control various electrical systems in the vehicle. This caused the vehicle to stop running. Electrical damage had to be repaired and a new windshield had to be installed. This caused the owner to pay over $2000 in out of pocket expenses.

The child safe locks on the rear doors of my 2nd ford expedition activate through normal door operation. They are activated by using the automatic door locks as well as normal interior door handle use. I have owned two expedition and this has occurred on each vehicle ( a 1997 xly expedition as well as a 2001 eddie bauer edition). I am aware of the same occurrence on my brothers ford excursion so this obviously is not a single issue but a engineering failure. This action locks people unintentionally in the back seats of the vehicle without notice or easy correction since you can't reach the exterior handle from inside the vehicle due to limited window opening height. In the case of an accident a person would be likely be locked in unable to escape the vehicle. Other occupants would likely not be aware of the situation and thus possibly find necessary action unnecessary. A accident waiting to happen .
