| Description of the problem | I have just had my second incidence of a window regulator snapping in my 2004 ford f150. I was just rolling my electric window up as i was getting my truck washed today, september 4, 2010, and a horrendous pop was heard by me and bystanders outside the vehicle, and the window then slid down into the door panel. I have barely over 70,000 miles on the truck now, and the first incidence occurred at 64,273. The first fix cost me $337. 66 for the rear driver side, and today's failure happened to the passenger rear. That's twice in 6000 miles. I am forced to drive my other vehicle to as i my vehicle is now unsecure since the window cannot be closed. The first failure was due to the cable snapping, and the same scary sound happened today so i can only conclude that the same part failure occurred today. Ford will not fix the vehicle nor the issue which has caused numerous f150 owners to lose out on wages lost to hours missed at work and money paid to have their expensive vehicle back in operating order. Ford has offered to let me buy a new part, at my expense, and pay them over $200 labor to replace. |
