my car has the feature.I came out one morning to find the windows rolled down.Had to have the car towed to dry storage as rain was coming.This was a friday.On monday had it towed to dealer.Water gets in the lock switch and "fuses" the connection,thus widows will roll down at random.They changed the lock and filled it with a dielectric material.Haven`t had a problem since.

This is why I heard they disabled it, car windows were rolling down on there on. Anybody else had this happen?

I guess we have to keep the window switches dry if we open the door in pouring down ran.

I don't remember source, but it was on a forum and I belive from a ford source,

It said the reason has something to do with the remote reciever recieving bad outside signals, maybe random RF signals or whatever the remotes use
from other remotes or as I remember they said Cell phone signals.

If this is true couldent those same signals unlock the doors?

my GT was build mid-late March & global down not there. I live in Phoenix AZ so letting the heat out would be nice, also, I have to park close to another car in the garage (other car on left) and would be nice (easer to get out and control door) to leave window down to get out, then roll up after I get out.

Yes, and that I why I don't think it is true.

Having random RF signals match up with both the security code and the function code, in exactly the right order, would be very difficult. It would be easier to guess the right winning numbers to the Power Ball a dozen times in a row.
