HAPPENED AGAIN IN JANUARY OF 2011. SAME SIDE OF ENGINE, SAME PLUG. NOT REPAIRED YET. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS FIRE/SAFETY HAZARD.

I HAVE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER CLAIMS THAT IT SEEMS LIKE BAD LUCK. IN ONE CASE, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. IN A 4 DOOR TRUCK, BOTH FRONT WINDOWS HAVE DROPPED AND THE REGULATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW ALSO FELL.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 40MPH, ENGINE MISFIRED, AND STOPPED RUNNING. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS TOLD SPARK PLUG WAS BLOWN OUT OF ENGINE, DAMAGING IGNITION COIL. WAS QUOTED $620 TO REPAIR. WENT BACK TO DEALER 2 DAYS LATER TO PICK UP VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT WORK. WAS QUOTED "AT LEAST $2000" TO REPLACE HEAD. AFTER RESEARCHING PROBLEM, THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF FORD VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED? FORD HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS PROBLEM AND IS STILL GUILTY OF FRAUD BY SELLING VEHICLES WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR
