We bought our daughter a 2012 ford focus and the power windows worked intermittently for awhile before they completely stopped working. i did some online research wondering if there has been a recall and noticed several complaints about the same issue. we did buy the car used and it's out of warranty but the power windows should not be malfunctioning on a car that is 7 years old. she can't even use a drive through or escape from her window if she needed to in an emergency! there were complaints of this issue from owners who brought the car new and were still under warranty as well. i am going to write to ford as well about the issue because it seems to be a faulty part from what i've gathered. this should not be a repair the owner should have to pay for when there is evidence that this issue has been a problem since the car left the assembly lines.
