Consumer Description

MY PREGNANT WIFE OF 6 MONTHS WAS DRIVING THE 45 MILE TRIP TO HOME AFTER WORK AND HER DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW POPPED AND DROPPED. CURRENT TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 30, AND SNOWING. I DECIDED NOT TO TAPE A BAG TO COVER THE HOLE BECAUSE IF IT WERE TO COME OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND BLOW INTO HER FACE, IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CUT A TEMPLATE OUT OF PLEXIGLASS INSTEAD AND PLACED IT IN THE WINDOW CHANNEL. THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE I CAN USE IT OVER AND OVER AND IT WILL FIT NICELY IN THE PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN IT BREAKS. THE DAY WE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO GET IT FIXED IT WAS 13 DEGREES, AND 70 MILES LATER WE WERE AT THE DEALER. $400.00 LATER WE WERE OUT THE DOOR WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT THAT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONE WITH A DESIGN FLAW. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND IF I DID I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS FORD F-150. YOU WANT A BAIL-OUT, SELL AND STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT BEFORE YOU ASK FOR SUPPORT FROM THE CONSUMER. *TR
