NHTSA Complaint #11156103 — 2015 FORD EXPLORER

MY VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND THE DRIVER DOOR POWER WINDOW DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY, ONLY WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. IT SHOULD GO UP AND DOWN WITH THE SOFT TOUCH OF THE BUTTON HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THE MOTOR IS GOING OUT BECAUSE WHEN I PUSH FOR THE BUTTON TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP, THE WINDOW WILL GO DOWN. I WILL HOLD THE BUTTON IN THE UP POSITION AND ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE WINDOW WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO DOWN. ON THE SAME DOOR PANEL I ALREADY HAD A RECALL THAT WAS REPAIRED AND NOW THIS STARTED. I AM NOW WONDERING IF THE TWO ARE LINKED SOMEHOW. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF THIS REPAIR WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE IS WITHIN WARRANTY. I ASKED AND EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, HAS 42,500 MILES (AT THE TIME) AND SHE COULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING REGARDING THE WARRANTY. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT. SAID I WOULD HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE DEALERSHIP OF MY CHOICE, AGAIN, AND LEAVE MY CAR, AGAIN, AND LET THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED. I TOLD HER I DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE STEPS BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONVENIENT. I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE COVERED OR NOT AND I COULD MAKE A DECISION TO FIX. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THERE LACK OF SERVICE.
