Expedition 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,790 miles
Water in the fuse box causing many shorts. There is a leak in the wheel well. No water is any where else in the SUV. Shorts include, radio off and on, flashing lights on the dash, all lights off on dash, SUV starter relay shorted and tried to start the ignition without any keys or anyone in the SUV. Because it is considered water damage my extended warranty will not cover it. Ford Motor Company has been contacted by myself and they have apparently heard of this complaint and will not assume responsibility at this time.
