| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f150 supercrew 4 door - window motor/cable failure. I started to "roll" the passenger door front window down and immediately the window just dropped all the way inside the door leaving no window available on that door. No window, no protection from the weather, no security, etc. The window would not come up and remained down inside the door. I've read about this as a common problem that looks like a real obvious recall situation. Please make ford responsible for this failure as it apparently can happen over and over because of inferior parts. This is my first occurence in my 23 months of ownership - thank goodness. There are so many similar reports and i ask that you be fair to the consumers and force ford to recall these parts with a suitable replacement part. Please treat them equal with toyota and any other manufacturer. Ford has a bad door cable or mechanism and they should be held responsible for this issue. |
