| Description of the problem | My f150 has had three of the four power window mechanisms fail. The drivers window failed in 9/2008 at 53000 while being used at an atm. The rear passenger window failed in april 2010 at 75,000 miles. This window went down on its own suddenly without pressing the switch. This failure occurred while driving at highway speeds. The front passenger window failed in sept 2010 at 85000 miles. This window went down suddenly on its own without pressing the switch. The failure occurred while driving on an on-ramp and merging into traffic. The sudden and unexpected nature of the last 2 failures are a safety hazard due to the distraction caused while driving. The failures occurred beyond the warranty period, so ford would not provide any support. I ordered new window regulators and replaced them myself. The parts from the third failure are available. |
