| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road when my window on my ford f150 lariat came crashing down two weeks ago( my child was sitting next to the window she is 6 mths old) & it distracted me long enough to look back @ the road & there was a car stopped to make a sudden turn & i couldn't slow down fast enough & i hit them in the rear. All 4 of us went to hospital with minor injuries. It was my fault the cop said but i told him about the window & he didn't give me a ticket thankfully. Its still @ the body shop being fixed the problem was the window regulator & it is being replaced but the body shop manager says these go out way to much this is the 3rd one replaced on this truck, so i looked online & couldn't believe how many people have this problem i think you should research this & put a recall on them & make ford fix them for free this is definitely caused from ford trying to cut corners & save $ but this is a serious problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
