| Description of the problem | Windows in f-150 our failing. Cable just snaps and they fall quickly into door. Three out of four windows have fallen in my truck. The first occurred during a down pour. This was quite a surprise and i was fortunate that i was not driving down the interstate when this occurred. The third and last occurrence occurred just last week while on a business trip. Two of the three incidents were extremely distracting, one occurred while parked. Based on my conversations with the dealer, search results on the internet, and my own experience i'm concerned anyone with a child that removes their restraints while in motion might encounter the same issue. One of my windows in the back was broken but did not drop down until it was touched by a co-worker, and dropped very fast. Thank goodness this did not happened by a child who unrestrained themselves while moving. |
