Description of the problem | I own a 2005 ford f150. It has 63,000 miles and is well taken care of. July the 7th, 2009 the passenger side window dropped due to a regulator failure. I replaced it at an extremely high cost. Then on august 28th, 2009 the drivers side window fell. Neither time was i in a situation that endangered me but i was in a thunderstorm while the first window was down and not fixed. Do you know what it is like to run along side an 18 wheeler during a rain storm. Of course i pulled over and stopped. This is a dangerous part failure. The dropping noise is tremendous. Scare the wits out of you plus the weather could make the situation worse. The really scary thing is they are replacing these regulators with the same thing that failed. Look at the web about ford window regulator failures. There are hundreds and hundreds of them and then think about the number of drivers that do not know about this problem other than they may have had a failure and not know there is an epidemic. |
