Description of the problem	To begin with i had to have all 4 windows repaired. The mechanism that raises and lowers the windows broke. Since this was bought as a used vehicle, there was no warranty. So i pd. $150. To $175. 00 each. Was told ford knew of this problem but since it wasn't a "safety factor" no recall was issued. I feel like this is quite unfair to the consumer. We purchase a vehicle that has a good reputation and then are told that this expense is our baby to take care of. I feel like this was very unfair to this consumer. I have purchased fords for years with no complaints until now. Also, the headlights developed a leak and filled with water thus shorting out my right headlight,and is slowly doing the same to the left one. I have been told that just the burned out bulbs cannot be replaced,that the whole assembly had to be replaced and this is at a cost of approx. $175 to $200. Per assembly. This is outrageous. Also,there is a problem with what used to be "points & plugs" which are now a "coil" assembly. This problem developed approx. 6 months ago. According to the readouts i have gotten, the #1 plug is misfiring approx. Every 1,000 revolutions which causes a miss in the engine and was very alarming to me since i was on the highway about 200-250 miles from home, traveling by myself. So, another expense is looming. I realize there are expenses to owning a vehicle. I do not expect to not have any problems or repairs with my vehicle,but i did not anticipate this many. Nor did i expect the cost of the repair parts alone to be so outrageous. I am on a fixed income and had i anticipated these problems i wouldn't & #8203; have made this purchase. I truly love my truck, but is there anyway these other repairs can be done for a lesser amt? I've already pd. To replace motor & rotors in all 4 windows. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [xxx] (

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
