FORD MOTOR NO-QUALITY ... POWER WINDOWS ! BRIGHTON, Michigan
HELLO. PEOPLE ..
I HAVE A 1990 FORD MERCURY WITH 47,500 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS MY PARENTS CAR WHICH I HAVE AQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT "MINT CONDITION," AND COULD BE SOLD FOR NEW.
HOWEVER, THE POWER WINDOWS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BOTH STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. THE MOTORS ARE WORKING, BUT THE MECHANICAL LINKAGE DOES NOT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE WINDOWS UP OR DOWN IS WITH MANUAL ASSISTANCE .... PULLING OR PUSHING ON THE GLASS WITH THE WINDOW BUTTON BUTTON DEPRESSED.
THIS PIS-POOR NON-QUALITY POWER WINDOW SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN DURBALITY TESTED BEFORE GOING INTO PRODUCTION !!
THANK-YOU.

"THIS WAS MY PARENTS CAR WHICH I HAVE AQUIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT "MINT CONDITION," AND COULD BE SOLD FOR NEW "
It's not in excellent mint condition, from what I understand the power windows don't work. That's far from mint condition. As far as being sold as new, only if the buyer is a moron that doesn't know the difference between a new car and a 21 yr. old car with broken power windows.

You may want to consider getting that repaired.

Your complaint is that the power windows don't work on a 21 year old car.
Really? After 21 years how is this Ford's fault?
Check the wiring, the power windows work on the passenger side so odds are a wire on the drivers side went bad.

The same character posted Report: #783563 and mentioned this same issue in one of his rebuttal answers. The all caps, the 21 year old Grand Marquis, the whole shebang.
Sounds like a nut job.
Retired Ford man, huh? I'd like to see how long everything he "techicianed" lasted afterward.

get 10,500 more miles on it since last week? Are you really driving it that much?
" HAVE A 1990 FORD MERCURY WITH 47,500 MILES ON IT."
Just enter that "mint condition" Ford Mercury (which is it?) in a stock car race and put it out of its misery.
"THIS PIS-POOR NON-QUALITY POWER WINDOW SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN DURBALITY TESTED BEFORE GOING INTO PRODUCTION!"
What would be an acceptable durability test.....25 years, 30 years?
You don't think lubricants dry out and rubber parts fail in 21 years or less? I would say this car hardly qualifies for "mint" condition, even though the paint's good.
Think back when you were a "Ford technician" and told your customers after things broke down right after the warranty expired that "s**t happens."
You are beginning to act senile. If you're a "retired Ford technician", fix the problems and stop whining about it.

Mint condition?

Yes sir, when I look for a NEW car in "Mint Condition" the first car I think of is a 21 year old car with 47,500 miles(or is it 37,000 miles).
By the way there have been more than a few dishonest car dealers that have used the term "Mint Condition" and "Showroom Ready" when they wash and wax a rusted out POS that wasn't maintained.
On a more serious(which with this report is hard), do you really expect different responses than you got last in your last report?
