Description of the problem | On my way home from work one day while driving down the interstate, i decided to get a little fresh air so i rolled my drivers side window down. When i tried to roll it back up there was a loud grinding sound and a pop. After this my window slammed down inside the door. I was so startled that i almost lost control of my vehicle. Once i got home, i took apart my door and found that the power window regulator had broken. I called the ford service dept only to find out the repair cost would be in excess of $300. I found the part through a napa dealer and repaired the problem myself for around $150. 00 since this incidence my passenger side window and rear passenger side window have both slammed down. I now know the familiar sound of the window regulator about to fail. Every time this happens i am out of pocket for $150 plus my time to repair. This seems to be a re-occurring problem with 05 ford 150 owners and ford should be responsible. I could have easily over corrected my vehicle upon being startled and injured myself or someone else. |
