| Description of the problem | This is a failure of the driver's side window falling down into the door while driving. This seams to be a very common problem for the ford f-150 pickup. While it has not lead to a crash to my knowledge, the potential is there. Imagine driving down the interstate in crowed traffic and your window drops down without warning. Your attention will definitely be distracted from your driving and during inclement weather this could be even more dangerous. Everything i have read points to the same product failure. A recall should be mandatory before someone gets hurt. |
