VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF THE "INQUIRY/CONCERN" SENT TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY RELATIONSHIP CENTER: THE RIGHT FRONT ELECTRIC WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED ON 2/18/00 AT 42,134 MILES. IT COST ME A $50 DEDUCTIBLE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE LEFT REAR WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED ON 11/28/00 AT 51,983 MILES. IT COST A $50 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE TO REPLACE A FAULTY REGULATOR. THE DRIVER'S LEFT FRONT WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED ON 12/26/00 AT 52,465 MILES. IT COST A $50 DEDUCTIBLE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR. THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED ON 7/3/03 AT 90,201 MILES. IT COST $209 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR. CYCLE COMPLETE. ANY PATTERN HERE? FORD'S RESPONSE WAS SURPRISE AT THE CONSISTENT DEFECTS IN THEIR REGULATORS. THEY COULDN'T ASSIST FINANCIALLY BECAUSE I HAD USED AN INDEPENDENT TO FIX THE LAST WINDOW WHILE TRYING TO KEEP COSTS LOW. WAS THIS EXPERIENCE UNIQUE? *JB
