VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
MY WINDOW ON MY FORD F150 WAS LEAKING. WATER LEAKED INTO THE CAB AND INTO THE GEM AND FUSEBOX. FIRST, MY FAN STAYED ON AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED. THEN A BUZZING SOUND CAME FROM AROUND THE FUSEBOX. THEN A BEEPING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM AROUND THE FUSEBOX. LASTLY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING. IT WAS HARD TO DISTINGUISH WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, FLAT TIRE, BROKEN AXLE? I PARKED THE TRUCK, AND WENT TO START IT AGAIN, AND THE SAME SHUDDERING CAME FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BEGAN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH F150'S, EXPEDITIONS, NAVIGATORS, ETC WERE ALL HAVING THIS PROBLEM FROM YEARS 97-03. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL - THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS! *TR
