Description of the problem | 8/26/07 front passenger window falls. 7/19/08 front driver window falls. 1st fixed warranty. 2nd fixed $100 deductible (extended warranty). Continual recurring problem just after warranty according to internet. Approx. Ford charge $200+ and 1. 5 hrs. (internet). 3 ford mechanics say 15 min. Fix and a truck owner says 35-45 minutes in his driveway (internet). The faulty cable can't be purchased from dealer (for do-it-yourself) without buying window also (internet). This obvious defect seems to be a money maker for ford. This is not only an aggravation and inconvenience, but also a security (safety) problem. This situation can occur while vehicle is parked and driver not in attendance. Upon returning, driver may find mugger in back, contents missing or vehicle stolen due to easy access through fallen window. |
