Rear passenger power window not operating properly. It will go down, but not go up, either from passenger door switch or driver's switch. Both switches and motor replaced at first repair shop but could not fix the problem. My local Mercury dealer also wanted to replaced both new switches and new motor claiming all three were still bad. Two weeks, and three shops later, a Ford dealer in the next town over said both switches and motor were fine ( I already knew that). He found a broken wire behind the emergency brake pedal behind the dash panel. A new section of wire was spliced in, but they are not sure how or why this wire broke in an unexposed location.

Back lift shattered when closing, resulting in shattered glass in my hand, inside the car, on top of the car and all over the parking lot near other cars (everywhere) and brackets hanging from the wires on the top (it was raining outside!). I drove car to dealer who after initial questions and Ford approval then advised of recall and provided a replacement car during repairs but it took 6 weeks to repair. Amazing while the 6 week repairs of "waiting for parts" I got a recall notice in the mail (Aug 05). After bothering the dealer to get the car back, I was called to pick up the car and I was told the "check engine soon light" is coming on! when I picked it up, I not only see the light is intermittent coming on, but my electric window switches are not working to put the windows up and down (except the front passenger works fine) and the driver seat belt is not retracting correctly! this car is only 3 years old!!

While driving in cold weather driver's side window fell off track, causing the glass to fall inside the panel of the door frame. Onsumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic replaced the window. Also, consumer went to lift up the tailgate and the cable snapped in half. Consumer was able to put the cable in the back of the trunk. However, mechanic informed consumer that vehicle was not on recall or under warranty.
