| Description of the problem | Driving down road at 70mph, went to open drivers window for ventilation and without warning the window just fell down into the door like a guillotine. I then proceeded to drive 12 miles in 20 degree weather with the window down to a repair shop. Was informed the 2004 ford f150 power window failure is very common and that it would cost $400 to repair a broken plastic part because the entire unit must be replaced. I googled this issue and the internet is swamped with frustrated owners with have also experienced this particular failure. This is a serious safety issue that ford is not willing to address. |
