| Description of the problem | I purchased my 04 ford f150 brand new back in 04 from paul miller ford dealership in lexington ky. Since that time, no real problems. In july of this year the passenger side window without reason or circumstance fell off track and into door leaving me to pay for a new window regulator. Repair was made at crossroads ford in frankfort ky. In september of this year the same issue occurred with the driver side window leaving me again to pay for the repair when it happened without reason. Searching on line, i discovered that many more owners of the same make and model have experienced the same. I have already paid nearly 300. 00 in repairs after the esp. October 3, i contacted ford dealership who advised me there are no recalls on my vehicle and that they would not assume any financial responsibility for this issue. I can understand 1 window, but now 2 and there are 2 rear windows that may potentially do the same. I also believe there is a leak in the 3rd brake light on my vehicle where water continues to poor in; however, ford denies that as well. In both of these repairs at crossroads, the window regulators were replaced and no reason as to why both would fail. There were no preceding events to report, the vehicle was parked in both instances when these happened. Hopefully someone else has reported this similar. |
