NHTSA Complaint #10411149 — 2004 FORD F-150

THE LEFT REAR WINDOW, RIGHT REAR WINDOW, RIGHT FRONT WINDOW ABRUPTLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR CAVITY. THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION IS FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON ALL THREE DOORS. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND MY OWN INVESTIGATION IT APPEARS THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE 2004 FORD F1 50 PICKUP TRUCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE 2004 F150 PICKUP TRUCK ARE INDEED DEFECTIVE BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART UNLESS YOUR ORGANIZATION ORDERS THE RECALL. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE COME ACROSS SCORES OF OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REQUESTS FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. ALTHOUGH FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WE FORD OWNERS DO FEEL THAT IT IS. DRIVING AT 65 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR AND THREE WINDOWS ABRUPTLY DROP INTO THE CAVITY OF THE DOOR IT COULD AND PROBABLY AS BEEN THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS. WE URGE YOU TO PETITION FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RECALL THE 2004 THROUGH 2006 FORD F1 50 PICKUP TRUCK AND REPLACE THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS.
