This happened to me this last weekend, and I thought maybe I was just being dumb.

I was driving so I couldn't look at the switch when it happened, but after like three toggles it came up.

It has not happened since, but I am watching it very carefully now...

All the window controls (and practically all the conveinence items in the vehicle) are wired through a central control module under the passenger side of the dash. That's what you hear clicking everytime you touch a button. It could be a faulty switch, or a faulty control module. The best thing to do is to take advantage of that warranty and get your dealer to troubleshoot the system and fix it. Why put up with a problem in such an expensive truck?

Just my opinion.

Agree 100% (with your observation).

Last weekend was the first time mine did it.

If it does it again, I'll do my best to figure out what the problem is and fix it myself. I am loathe to leave any vehicle of mine at any dealer.

I agree about the stealerships, hate having to leave my baby in someone elses hands. You know they don't care about the vehicle like you do.

Took mine in for an oil change and their "technician" left more oil on the shrouding and engine than he put in the crankcase.

But I also believe that Ford should be responsible for fixing their own mistakes.
