Consumer Description

MY GIRLFRIEND & I WERE DRIVING OUR 2004 FORD F-150 ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN WE HEARD A REALLY STARTLING, LOUD BANG & SAW MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SLAM DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS SHOOTING AT THE TRUCK OR SOMETHING & SWERVED INTO OTHER LANES IN A PANIC. WE WERE ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. AFTER TAKING THE DOOR PANEL OFF & SEEING ALL THE WIRE CABLES HANGING THERE & BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES I DID SOME RESEARCH & FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR US & OTHERS. WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT BE INJURED OR INJURE ANYBODY ELSE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, WE SHOULD EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH REALLY BOTHERS ME. WE HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN & IF THIS HAD HAPPENED OR HAPPENS AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE IN THE CAR & WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, WE ALL COULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE & NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING OUT FAULTY PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. WE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T ANYBODY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS BEYOND ME THOUGH. AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY ARE ASKING OVER $400 PER WINDOW TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I'M NOT POSITIVE, BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN TO MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SOON TOO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT SINCE THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, NOT EVEN A FULL YEAR AGO & ITS BEEN MAKING NOISES. RECALL IMMEDIATELY PLEASE! *TR
