| Description of the problem | July 11,2009, we have a 2004 ford f150 supercrew with 56000. We were in town and let the rear windows down. The left rear popped very loud and the window fell into the door. I have not fixed it. I talked to the local ford dealer about it, he said there is not a recall and would cost about 400. 00. Fast-forward to aug. 6, 2009 my wife was coming home from school(teacher) she let the drivers window down to let some of the hot air out. She got on the hwy. And started rolling the window up about halfway it popped very loud . It startled her so bad she jerked to the right and ended up off the road. Before she could stop the window had fallen into the door. She is ok and was able to drive on home with shaky nerves. This is clearly a safety issue in which nhtsa ought to investigate fervently. Ford needs to make this right and now before someone gets really hurt. |
