| Description of the problem | I have an 2004 ford f150 and over the approximately past 21 months i have had firstly the drivers window came down on its own, (i have a crew cab with 4 doors) then the right rear passenger window about 10 months ago and this week the left rear came down on it's own, (haven't got this one fixed yet) doing so this or next week. The repair cost me $330 approximately $90 labor and $200 plus for the part, i get no explanation as to why or relief over the cost from the dealer, i have not contacted ford directly yet. It is truly a safety issue no matter how you look at. Each time, the window was up, i heard a click and down it came... I was not lowering the windows. I haven't lowered any except the repaired drivers door window since about 10 months ago when the right rear came down.. I only open the left front (drivers) and this includes the moon roof, i don't open that either for fear it will break. The ironic thing is all 3 came down without me touching the buttons to lower or raise them. I see below there is space for only 1 entry for "approximate incident date" so i will use the first one. Two of these incidents were coming or going to my doctor for chemotherapy. I have cancer. |
