| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 ford f-150. Over the last two years i have had to replace three of the four power window regulators. Just this last week the fourth one broke. I have spent approximately $250-$350 each time. I also have a father-in-law with the same year ford f-150 who has experienced the same issues. He has replaced three of the four, and knows it is just a matter of time before his fourth goes out. I have talked with the head mechanic at the local ford dealership and he says he is replacing them all the time and that ford should have issued a recall on them, but has not done so. I have found that several thousand other people have had the same issues with this year model. I am very disappointed in ford that they know there is and has been a problem with these parts and have not helped out their customers. This will and has already helped in my future discussions on purchasing another ford vehicle. |
