Description of the problem | 2005 ford f-150. Had window regulator replaced in may for driver's window. Just had passenger window roll down on its own on the highway during a thunderstorm. I was in the backseat while my husband and father-in-law were in the front. I was drenched, as was the interior. I contacted ford and they basically said "not our problem", i can't afford the $500+ it costs to get it fixed, especially when i have talked to numerous people who have had the same problems. This is obviously an ongoing issue with them and i can't understand why ford hasn't been forced to do a recall. What if someone in the backseat was hit by a hailstone? What if the glass had shattered and hit that child? What if the window went down while at an intersection and someone had carjacked me? I could be dead because ford wants to put out shoddy work and not stand behind it. I have had other issues with this truck, but this is the worst. My handle for the tilt steering wheel broke off after 6 months, the back part of the side mirror fell off while i was driving to work one morning. Please do whatever has to be done to force a recall. |
