Description of the problem | 2005 ford f150 supercrew 4 door truck-failed power window regulator (front driver's side door). Driving down the road when i hear a loud bang. The noise was loud and i could not be sure that something had not been thrown or shot at my truck. As i tried to understand the problem, i noticed the driver's side window falling into the door. I tried to hold the window up while also trying to control the car. My dog, a 90 lb black labrador retriever was in the back seat area and when the window dropped open, he jumped to push his head out the now open window only adding more to the safety and control challenges. The failure was a total surprise. The truck is only used for light yard-related work and does not go off road. The windows are seldom operated as air-conditioning is typically running in the heat of florida. This was the first event for this vehicle. The dealership service department rep indicated the regulator is a new part in the f150 and the problem is not unique to my truck. The dealership repaired the regulator and indicated i should pass my complaint on to ford. |
