| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a 2004 ford ranger edge, regular cab. i am 5'10", and sit with my seat as far back as it will go in the truck. this, unfortunately caused my rear window to pop out of the truck. i took the truck back to the dealer, where they said that's a common problem with the make and year of my truck, and all ford is doing is reinforcing the windows. the windows are not a problem, it is the seat. the seat was not designed correctly for the truck, but ford is not willing to redesign the seats, recall the trucks, or upgrade trucks to extended cabs. this poses a problem because even after the window is fixed, the problem is going to happen again. and "god forbid" i ever get into a rear-end collision - what happens to my window, me, my seat, etc?! this problem ends up being more serious than ford is willing to take responsibility for, and i strongly feel this should be reported. i know for a fact it is not just my truck with the problem - a dealer and i went around trying out other trucks to see if they had the same problem on the lot, and sure enough, we pushed the seat all the way back, and the windows popped out. this was just sitting in the truck!! what happens in a collision???*ak |
