| Description of the problem | Was driving my 2004 ford f-150 supercab pickup truck (4. 6l v8 2wd) at highway speed when i heard a loud bang and scared me enough to nearly lose control of my vehicle. The sound i heard i thought was someone shooting out my drivers side power window when it turns out it just fell into the door because of a faulty power window regulator. Now it will cost me nearly $400 to replace when it is just a plastic clip. Turns out that this is a very common problem with ford trucks and am shocked that this has not been recalled by the nhtsa since this is a serious safety issue as the doors and windows, as well as the seatbelts, are what keeps the driver and or passengers in the vehicle... I am extremely upset not at the repair cost but that my safety is being compromised at ford motor company's expense with nothing being done about it. Just how many people need to complain about this before it is recalled or are we just waiting for a serious injury or a death for something to happen. |
