THE GLASS DID NOT BREAK, BUT IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTERS.

JUST THIS MONTH (JUNE 2010), MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE I WAS AT WORK. LUCKILY, NOTHING WAS STOLEN FROM THE TRUCK AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THEY AGAIN TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ANOTHER $400 TO REPAIR IT. I COMPLAINED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES SINCE I FIRST GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE 20 YEARS AGO AND I AM VERY UPSET BY THE WAY FORD HAS TREATED IT'S CUSTOMERS. I JUST HOPE THAT THE NEXT TWO WINDOWS THAT HAVE NOT FALLEN YET WILL NOT INJURE ME, MY WIFE OR MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY DECIDE TO FALL. *TR
