2006 Ford Freestyle, both back seat windows roll all the way down, allowing a child to climb out. Windows should be set to only roll half way, when windows are not the lock position.

Upon lowering the driver side window to get a parking lot ticket, the window would not then go back up. It was no longer working. Other windows were still working fine, but the driver side window could not be closed. I had to leave the car at the amtrak station as I was about to catch a train. Roadside assistance towed the vehicle to the nearest Ford dealer for inspection. The vehicle was less than a month old! upon inspection it was discovered that the driver side window motor had burned out. In addition, service found a chafed/exposed wire in the door next to the junction box. They replaced this also.
