| Description of the problem | I'm a 16 year veteran in law enforcement. Sometime in april 2011, i was driving down the road and my rear driver side window fell down inside the door. The window falling made a loud noise. I could hear the wind and i looked back and didn't see a window in the door. My first thought was someone shot the glass out. My attention to driving was lost for several seconds. I believe this to be a safety issue. I pulled over at the first parking lot i saw and realized the glass was not broken but had fallen inside the door. Today 9/2/2011, i was repairing the rear window regulator and the front driver side window fell. I thought how ironic is this. I drove to the ford dealership and purchased the part and returned home. I have fixed both window regulators, but i feel this could cause a traffic crash. I searched the web for this repair and found several forums with people having this same issue. I would like to see ford address this issue. |
