VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IT WAS A SCORCHING SUNNY FLORIDA DAY WHEN MY WINDOW ON MY 2005 F150 WOULD NO LONGER WORK DUE TO A WINDOW MOTOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILURE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LIKE TO REPAIR IT AT THE WONDERFUL COST OF OVER $300 AMERICAN DOLLARS. THE WINDOW MOTOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY WORKING IN THE TRUCK FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, NOT TO MENTION THE WINDOW SWITCH WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE A COUPLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO ON MY TRUCK WHICH IS WAS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME. THE WINDOW WOULD NO LONGER ROLL UP, CAUSING SEVERE SUN BURN TO ARMS. FORD SHOULD REPAIR THIS ISSUE AT NO COST, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ALREADY. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HEARD LOUD POP WHEN ROLLING WINDOW UP AND THEN WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. THIS WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN IN SEPTEMBER 2009 WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. THE CAUSE OF THAT WAS BROKEN REGULATOR IN THE WINDOW. THE WINDOWS JUST FALL DOWN INTO THE DOORS. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE REGULATORS AND SOMEONE WAS TRAVELING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED. LUCKILY MY WINDOWS DID NOT SHATTER IN THE DOOR WHEN THEY FELL.
