August 2001

There was a heavy rain the expedition was parked outside. There was water on the floor mat. The headlights, windshield wipers, radio worked when the expedition was off. Yet would not work when the car was on. The expedition acted on its own. We took the expedition to the dealership (jim keim ford) where we purchased the vehicle. They charged us 893.00 to fix the fuse panel, sensor panel and reseal the entire front window. Then jim keim told me it would be another 200.00 if they broke the windsheild.
