| Description of the problem | There was no warning for the eventual failure of my window regulator on my 2004 ford f150. One day i went to roll the window down and the whole thing fell down inside of the door. After i was able to get it back up, i had to wedge materials between the window and door to hold it up. I have been unable to use this window for drive-thru and sometimes when it rains, my drivers seat gets wet because the window falls down halfway. I have been unable to have this problem fixed due to the cost of parts and labor, therefore i have gone months trying to just deal with the situation, until i could pay the $400. 00 that it costs to fix this problem. However, upon doing research online, i see that i am not alone and that this is a common problem with ford trucks, therefore, if i don't have to and i am not responsible for the repair, i'd rather not be! I have also been afraid that someone will be able to get inside my vehicle because if they really wanted to, all they would have to do is roll the window down manually-very easy to do with it being broken. |
