VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
POWER WINDOWS, FRONT AND BACK FAIL TO OPERATE. DRIVERS SIDE WILL POWER DOWN, BUT WILL NOT POWER UP. SOMETIMES WHEN I CONTINUOUSLY OPERATE THE SWITCH I CAN HEAR A CLICKING NOISE ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING IS NOT CONNECTING. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO A DEALER TO INVESTIGATE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THE COST TO 'FIX' WILL BE HUGH. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLES WITH THE REAR WINDOW WIPER. IT HAS NEVER WORKED CONSISTENLY. I HAD IT WORKED ON ONE TIME, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS LOCKED UP AND FIXED IT. IT WORKED ABOUT TWICE AND HAS NOT WORKED SINCE, THAT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
ON JUNE 21, 2003, I TRAVELED TO A GROCERY STORE JUST OUTSIDE MY SUBDIVISION. I WAS IN THE STORE ABOUT TEN MINUTES WHEN THE STORE MANAGER STARTED TO PAGE THE OWNER OF A BLUE EXPEDITION. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD LEFT MY LIGHTS ON. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE IN THE STORE'S PARKING LOT. WHEN I ARRIVED OUTSIDE, THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE EXPEDITION WAS IN FLAMES. THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE IT BURNED THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. BY THE TIME I MADE IT OUTSIDE, FIREFIGHTERS WERE ALREADY BATTLING THE BLAZE. MY VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *JB
