| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 ford f150 with 3140 miles. I was driving when the driver's side window fell with no warning, which cause me to almost hit on coming traffic. It happen so fast that i thought i have been hit that made me lose my been alert while i was driving. I almost hit a car head on and felt sick. I have seen in the web just how big a problem ford has with windows falling down but yet they say there is no problem. They are very happy to have ford owners pay $300 to $400 every time the windows fall and they will continue to fall. It will come that somebody will be hurt or kill in an accident just because ford in not doing anything about this serious problem. I do hope that a serious injury is not what it takes for ford to correct the window problem. |
