NHTSA Complaint #10229610 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE A 2000 FORD FOCUS AS DOES MY EX BOTH HAVING THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF THE FORD FOCUS! THE PROBLEM IN WHICH WE BOTH HAVE ENCOUNTERED IS THAT 3 OUT OF THE 4 WINDOWS IN OUR CARS NO LONGER WORK THE WINDOWS AT FIRST WOULD MAKE A POPPING SOUND ON SOME OTHERS JUST BROKE SUDDENLY. NOW WHEN I SAY BROKE THE MOTORS TO ALL THE WINDOWS STILL WORK BUT THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW ON THE TRACKS. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE SAFETY AND ADMISSIONS DONE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO PASS SAFETY DO TO THE FACT THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLE DOWN. WHAT I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DO IS ALL THREE OF THE WINDOWS NOT WORKING ARE EITHER HELD UP BY TAPE OR A DOOR STOP FROM THE INSIDE. DO TO MY WINDOWS HAVING TO BE HELD IN THE MANNER THEY ARE I AM CONSTANTLY WORRIED ABOUT MY CAR BEING AN EASY TARGET FOR A BREAK IN THUS I DON'T HAVE THE COMFORT LEVEL I FEEL I SHOULD WITH MY OWN VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE WINDOWS YET DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF NEARLY $200 PER WINDOW. AS I SEE IT THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE A FACTORY DEFAULT SEEING IF IT HAD ONLY HAPPENED TO ONE WINDOW MAYBE A FLUKE BUT THREE OF MY FOUR ALSO THREE OF THE FOUR ON MY EX'S VEHICLE TOO!!! *TR
