| Description of the problem | It can happen at anytime and i hope it isn't monsoon season like it is for me when it happens. I was just rolling up my window and when it reached the top something snapped. The window slip back down into the door. This isn't the first time or the second, this is the third time around. Check out any web site on ford trucks and this will be the top complaint. Some may say that the door windows aren't a safety issue, only issues involving the windshield. For me the safety issue is theft, i didn't buy the truck with an alarm system for nothing. So, when the window pops and you can't roll the thing up i'd say there's a safety issue. Driving in the rain with a make shift garbage bag window isn't so safe either. My aftermarket warranty paid for the fix the first two times, but a haven't had the pleasure of informing them that it's happened for a third time in two years. I'll be sure to mention the website complaints to them as well. I know there are a lot of angry ford truck owners out there that would appreciate if this safety issue was taken seriously. I know that ford has bigger problems right now, but with the amount of complaints i've seen about this issue there should be some inquiry to a safety recall. |
