NHTSA complaint #10327234, filed 2010-04, 49,000 miles“Driving down interstate in 2004 Ford f150 xlt with approx. 70k miles and inadvertently lowered rear window. When I went to close the window, I heard a loud crack and realized that the window was not going back up. After pulling off onto the shoulder to inspect what had occurred, I saw that my rear window had dropped into the door. Luckily it was not raining that day or I would have had a back seat full of water. I took it to a local mechanic who said that Ford's power window bracket regulator, which was cracked, is one piece and required replacement by taking apart the door. …”
