Description of the problem | Driving down a busy downtown interstate, smooth pavement, bumper to bumper traffic and i hear a loud pop and sound of glass breaking from the left side of my vehicle. Lot of road rage in the city i live in, so for a second i thought someone shot thru my window so i reacted with a quick swerve and almost collected the car to my right. After i got to a place to stop and investigate the drivers side door glass was gone. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he informed me the window regulator had failed and let the glass fall to the bottom of the door and shatter. I understand from info from my mechanic and on the net this is a common problem for ford products. I could have easily collected the other car in my situation and caused a major accident. No telling how many have been killed because of this and ford gets off scot-free because the persons in the fords it happens to are dead and can |
