“2003 Ford Crown Victoria-- the head rests in these automobiles are so high that it is impossible to see over or around them.

The electrical windows would not go up or down properly as they should and activate either very slowly or very quickly. The front driver's seat would not go back and forth as it should and either moves very slowly or not at all. This is the second time that the contact has experienced electrical failure with the windows and the seat. …”
