I went out to my truck to start it and the radio was on. No keys in ignition. Starter engages while running in park and neutral. Wipers come on and off no keys in ignition. Locks and unlocks by itself no keys in ignition. While driving have to put in neutral to roll window down and up. All this happens when it rains or snows. *tr

Leak in windshield area. Shorts out he fuse box and gem. Once this happens there are multiple electrical problems. Ford does not cover the cost for this obvious defect. Have heard and read of many other people with same issue. This can make the vehicle shut off while driving, windshield wipers to stop functioning, vehicle trying to start with know keys in it. It can effect all facets of the electrical system. *tr

Recurrent issue with my 2000 ford expedition. When it rains, the electrical system shorts out, causing the battery to drain, making it undriveable. Various electrical components go on and off without the key in the ignition, and some go out while driving. Extremely dangerous for windshield wipers to fail during a rainstorm!!! Sometimes, there is a burning smell coming from below the steering wheel. *tr

It shorts out the fuse box and gem module. My truck is now not working and…
