Description of the problem	I was driving down i-35 in the rain when a loud bang startled me. I noticed right away that my 2 year old girl was crying and her window was down with rain pouring in. I had to pull over in traffic on the interstate in the rain to try and fix the problem. The bang had scared her and she was getting wet. We moved the carseat over to the other side and i was able to pull the window up. My wife had to hold it up with her hand all the way home. From the sound of that bang i am suprised the window didn't shatter. If it would have my little girl could have lost an eye or been cut badly. I was able to look at it today and it seems that the little cable that pulls the window up has broken loose from the plastic pulley it winds up on. I have done a bit of research tonight and this is a very common problem. Ford knows about the problem since they tend to keep plenty of these window regulators in stock. Many of the people on these websites have had multiple failures. One had replaced all four window regulators on his f-150. The problems started when they changed from a solid metal scissors type to this mouse trap looking thing with plastic pulleys. The engineer that designed this thing should have his p. E. License revoked. It is a terrible piece of engineering. Ford should fix this problem and do a recall on this problem before one of these windows shatters at highway speed and throws glass into the face of a small child.

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.
