| Description of the problem | This is the third time one of the windows has fallen into the door of our ford f150 pickup. The window is paralyzed in the door frame after a regulator snaps and the window crashes into the door. The window will not roll up after this part breaks. Each time this has occurred for us, it has been a different window. It is the regulator in the door for the rolling mechanism that snaps. We also very rarely open our windows because of the hot weather, so that did not cause it. It is ford using faulty parts on their vehicle. We were not hurt during any of the three occurrences, but this could be a potential danger for people while driving. |
