About 2 years ago my drivers side window in my f150 fx4 went down and out. Didn't think much of it, now my passenger rear window is just grinding gears. My truck only has 48k on it and is well serviced. After reading several complaints i decided to put mine in since this is crazy. This should be a recall issue, it might not cause death but ford and parts stores aren't open 24/7 so you have a wide open truck to steal…

The power window assembly failed while driving 65mph on the interstate with my 10 month old english lab. I heard a loud "pop" and the window dropped.

I own a 2004 ford f150 and have had 3 window regulator failures, 2 while driving. The dangerous one was on the drivers side at night during a rain storm. Ford dealer states he replaces 1-2 a week but is not yet a recall. He says it wont get a recall until someone dies. I think it is a known dangerous problem that ford needs to take care of but wont until a recall is mandatory. Please recall this problem before…

Noone was opening or closing the passenger door or attempting to raise or lower the…
