Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT 70MPH, WENT TO OPEN DRIVERS WINDOW FOR VENTILATION AND WITHOUT WARNING THE WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR LIKE A GUILLOTINE. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE 12 MILES IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER WITH THE WINDOW DOWN TO A REPAIR SHOP. WAS INFORMED THE 2004 FORD F150 POWER WINDOW FAILURE IS VERY COMMON AND THAT IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPAIR A BROKEN PLASTIC PART BECAUSE THE ENTIRE UNIT MUST BE REPLACED. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND THE INTERNET IS SWAMPED WITH FRUSTRATED OWNERS WITH HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS. *TR
