| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 ford f150. Three weeks ago the drivers side electric window made a terrible noise and fell into the door and would not come back up. Now, yesterday august 31st the back seat drivers side window has done the same thing. I transport my grandchildren alot, they ride in the back seat, in safety seats as requested by law. I do not understand why the safety seats are any different then the possibility of flying glass from a defective window. There needs to be a recall on this. Secondly, i call and make a report with ford, hoping that i can get some resolve. They forward a case and case number to my local dealer where i did purchase this vehicle brand new. I was just told by the service manager that they can not help me, the reasoning behind the decision i was told i do not bring my vehicle in often enough for them to service. Well, when i needed tires they wanted over $600. 00 i got them for $400. 00. When my oil needs to be change i take it to walmart because it is cheaper, i am sorry that i didn't take it to the dealership but when you have been unemployed since january of 2009 you have to save wherever you can. So now, because i tried to save money, so that i can survive the current economic times i am being punished again. I think this is ridiculous. The safety of my grandchildren is the utmost importance to me and my husband. Something needs to be done so no innocent children get hurt because they are worried about the almighty dollar. I understand they haven't taken stimulus money and hurrah for them but they need to be responsible in this matter. |
