| Description of the problem | This is the third window in my ford f150 that has fallen into the door, the last two were fixed by the regulators being replaced. I am getting fed up with this, i looked online, and so far have seen well over 450 other complaints on this same vehicle. The first time it happened to the driver's front door window while i was driving. The window was rolled up, and all of a sudden i heard a loud pop, and the window fell down into the door. The regulator had to be replaced, along with some wiring that was damaged from the window falling. The second time it happened to the right rear passenger door. The window was rolled down, and when i went to roll it up, it made it about half way up, then again the loud pop, and then the window slowly slid back into the door, again the regulator had to be replaced. And just recently, barely a year later, that same right rear passenger window has broken again. This time i noticed it when i went outside to get into my truck, the window was down, and it wouldn't roll up, the motor just spins freely. Now i will probably be forced to spend another $300 or so to fix the problem. I believe from the frequency and number of vehicles affected that this should be a technical service bulletin, but ford refuses to address the problem. |
