Window regulator has gone out three times on two windows. 2008, 2010, 2014. The whole system is a bad design and cable jumps track at the least of bit jarring. This is a scary thing to happen as when the window falls it is a loud popping sound. Twice window fell down at car wash. Once traveling 55 miles an hour. Thought someone shot at the car. If window falls while no one is around theft could occur or if raining it will soak your car. Someone needs to investigate how these window regulators are made because they are not safe. Talked to person who installed them and he had two regulators go out on is F150 Ford truck and he reported it too. Also happened to my family member too two of his regulators had to be replaced on his F150 truck. I don't know how many complaints you receive but something has to be done. This a safety hazard. Also turn signal intermittently goes out and I noted that this a major complaint to your site.

Since buying the vehicle the consumer had a problem with the rotors. They have been replaced twice. While braking the rotors caused the steering wheel to shake violently. Took vehicle to the dealer for a third time yesterday. The dealer said this was an issue with the lamination on the rotors. The consumer did not have rotors replaced because he was afraid he would be charged for the repair as well the dealer placing the same type of rotors that have been rusting in the past. The mechanic noted air bubbles in the casting in the rotors which the caused the rusting. When the vehicle was driven at speeds of 60 mph or even 30 mph, the consumer noticed pulsation in the brake pedal, however, when approaching exit ramps and when more pressure was applied to the pedal, a more severe pulsation would cause the steering wheel to vibrate violently. Other problems: The driver's window switch was inoperative and the front brakes would grind when stopping due to rotor problem.
