| Description of the problem | In 2008 i purchased a 2004 ford f-150 lariat( 4 door). In march of this year ( 2010) the power window mechanism on the front drivers side failed, causing the window to drop into the door panel. The front drivers side passenger door failed in june of this year with the same result. Today, sept 7, the rear passengers side door window mechanism failed causing the window to drop into the door. I have done some research on the internet and i find the failure of the power window mechanism to be fairly common. This is a definite safety hazard as an unexpected lowering of the window can cause items inside the truck to fly around inside the cab and create a safety hazard to the driver. It would seem that ford has had an unusual number of this failures and should make the repairs at their cost in order to prevent serious accidents. |
