The driver's side window regulator on my 2006 ford f150 has broken three times, i was able to get two replaced under warranty, but the third time happened this last month, i am replacing it today. I believe from my experience, and from thousands of forum entries citing the same thing, that ford should recall this part. This part is going to cost me approximately $400.00 to repair. *tr
