VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD MY WINDOW SLAM DOWN SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE I WAS DRIVING 45MPH AND ONCE I WAS ACTUALLY DOING AT LEAST 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. IT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH TWICE. TODAY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER ONLY RESEARCHING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. MANY COMPLAINTS POSTED ON YOUR SITE HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS! THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL ON GOOGLE. IS SOMEONE WAITING FOR AN INJURY OR DEATH BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION?! AT THIS POINT IT HAS ONLY COST MY FAMILY MONEY AND NERVES. I HOPE IT NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL COST SOMEONE A FAMILY MEMBER. WILL YOUR OFFICE BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT ACTING ON THESE COMPLAINTS? WILL ANYONE? OR DOES AN INJURY HAVE TO OCCUR FIRST? PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL THE WINDOW REGULATOR! *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WHEN OPERATING THE POWER WINDOW OF MY 2005 FORD F-150 THERE WAS A SUDDEN BANG AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR CAVITY. RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE. FORD HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN CHARGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO THE CONSUMER FOR REPAIRS TO THESE FAILED POWER WINDOWS. IN MANY, MANY CASES AS SOON AS ONE WINDOW FAILS THE OTHERS BEGIN TO FAIL WITHIN WEEKS. I URGE YOU TO FULLY INVESTIGATE AND USE YOUR AUTHORITY AND INFLUENCE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO INITIATE A RECALL. *TR
