Description of the problem | Owner of a 2005 ford f150 supercrew 4x4. I cannot say that any particular event lead up to the failure of this issue. The passenger side rear power window fell inside the door due to a defect in the window lift assembly. Apparently a cable came loose that supports the window and it will no longer stay up. This creates a huge safety issue for my children in the backseat, not to mention theft and weather concerns. As far as repair, i contacted the local ford dealership only to find out the replacement cost for repairs, which was close to $400. 00. I balked at that having this repaired currently and simply duct taped the window up to at least prevent rain from entering the vehicle. I have not attempted to fix this issue myself (cannot without $200 part), but the part in question is still installed on my vehicle. Upon further research, it appears that this is a very common problem with this vehicle and ford is doing nothing to remedy this problem. Some owners have had 2-3 windows with the same problem. It does not appear to be a "wear" issue. I believe a plastic clip that holds a cable deteriorates and becomes faulty over time regardless of use. I would definitely not consider this a "maintenance-type" item. |
