1989 FORD PROBE Visibility Problems

RIGHT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, DRIVER'S SIDE IS CRACKED AND ABOUT TO FAIL THE DEALERSHIP ASKED FOR $379.00 FOR REPLACEMENT PART. I THEN CALLED WRECKING YARDS (2) AND EXPLAINED THAT I NEEDED A WINDOW REGULATOR FOR A FORD PROBE 1989 THEY INFORMED ME THAT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE I WOULD HAVE TO GET ON A WAITING LIST DUE TO THE FACT THAT SO MANY HAVE FAILED. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE LEFT SIDE I WAS QUOTED $150 AND $125 BOTH PLACES NEEDED A WEEK TO GET THE PART. DUE TO THE STATEMENTS FROM THE WRECKING YARDS AND THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAS ONLY 2700 MILES ON IT AND IS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS I THOUGHT MAYBE FORD MIGHT HAVE REALIZED THAT THESE PARTICULAR WINDOW REGULATORS WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH AND WOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE REGULATORS. *AK

I WANT TO REPORT WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE SIMILAR TO THAT OF OTHER FORD OWNERS, AND THAT I HAVE FOUND THE CAUSE IN MY CAR. I HEARD A PORTION OF A RADIO NEWS BROADCAST THAT SAID TAURUS OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED FAILURES. MY WIPER FAILURES BEGAN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. *AK
