2004 FORD F-150 Visibility Problems

THE MIRROR(S) ARE FULL OF CORROSION AND THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR FELL RIGHT OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING DOWN MY STREET THE WINDOW JUST CRASHED DOWN! IT FELL SO FAST AND HARD THAT I HAD TO LOOK TO MY RIGHT SIDE TO SEE WHAT HIT ME! AT THAT POINT I REAR ENDED A CAR THAT SLOWED DOWN! ALL THIS IS DO TO A CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP THAT FAILED AND RELEASED THE WINDOW. *TR

REPLACED TWO WINDOW REGULATORS IN VEHICLE. DRIVER'S WINDOWN AND PASSENGER WINDOW.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCAB DOWN THE STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON MY WAY TO WORK. I ROLLED UP THE POWER WINDOWS AND HEARD A WEIRD SOUND FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR. I DECIDED TO ROLL IT BACK DOWN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE DOWN BUTTON, THE WINDOW JUST FELL RIGHT INTO THE DOOR. IT WAS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING AND COULD SEE HOW IT COULD CAUSE A WRECK IF IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, I GOT OUT TO CHECK IT OUT. I COULD STILL HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING, BUT I COULD HEAR PIECES OF GLASS AND KNEW THE WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR

IT SURPRISED ME AND I WAS NOT CERTAIN WHAT HAPPENED MY WINDOW WAS JUST GONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. APPARENTLY AFTER MY RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT FORD HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH ITS WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HOPE FOR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HARM IS DONE THAT FORD WILL OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE RECALL TO REPAIR THE WINDOW MECHANISM THAT FAILS. IF FORD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING THAN NHTSA SHOULD. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN BOULEVARD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SLID DOWN WITH A LOUD SOUNDING BANG. THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK. HOWEVER, WHAT SEEMS TO BE A SPRING LOADED MECHANISM, MUST HAVE BROKEN CAUSING THE WINDOW TO COLLAPSE DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD, IT CAUSED A NERVOUS REACTION IN ME WHICH RESULTED IN PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO ONE SIDE. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES TO THAT SIDE AND I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT MY STEERING TO GET BACK INTO MY LANE. AS IF ONE EXPERIENCE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN 9/1/11. THIS TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE REPEATED EXCEPT THAT THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH ON I-25. I EXPECTED TO FIND A RECALL TO THIS DIS-FUNCTIONAL MECHANISM.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR US & OTHERS. WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT BE INJURED OR INJURE ANYBODY ELSE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, WE SHOULD EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH REALLY BOTHERS ME.

THE DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN. I WAS NOT USING OR ADJUSTING THE WINDOW IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO FAILURE. THE WEATHER WAS COLD AND WET LEAVING WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR AND CAUSING DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN THE ADVERSE CONDITIONS. I WAS NOT DRESSED TO BE IN 60 MPH COLD BLASTING AIR AND MY HANDS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS STEERING. THE DEALER DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. FORD CONTACTED ME AND ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY BUT ONLY WANTED TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES AND IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE WITH THE REGULATOR, I WAS AMAZED THAT THERE ARE MANY THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

IN 2009 I HAD A WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED IN THE REAR OF MY 2004 F150 FX4 BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT THIS YEAR IN JUNE THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BEHIND THE DRIVER HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND NOW IN NOVEMBER THE REAR PASSENGER REGULATOR HAS AGAIN FAILED IN LESS THAT 18 MONTHS. IN BOTH INSTANCES THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER A WARRANTY I BOUGHT AT HALL FORD IN NEWPORT NEWS AND PAID EACH TIME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I FIND IT UNREASONABLE THAT A PART WOULD FAIL THREE TIME IN 17 MONTHS AND SINCE FORD IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT MAKES THE PART I CAN FIND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET ANOTHER FORD BRANDED PART THAT I FEEL WILL JUST ONCE AGAIN FAIL ON ME. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ON NOT ONLY FORUMS, BUT THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING...

LUCKILY IT DID NOT SHATTER, BUT MY DOG OF COURSE WENT FOR THE WINDOW AS MOST PUPPY'S DO. HE CLIMBED OVER MY LAP TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NEARLY CAUSING ME TO CRASH BEFORE I COULD GET HIM BACK IN PLACE AND GET THE TRUCK PULLED OVER AND SLOWED DOWN SAFELY. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS WAS SUCH AN ISSUE UNTIL I TOOK THE DOOR PANEL OFF AND SAW THE MANGLED CABLE AND BROKEN PLASTIC PIECES IN THE DOOR. I STARTED RESEARCHING IT VIA THE INTERNET, LANDING ME HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE REPAIR WILL COST APPROX. 300.00-500.00 PER WINDOW. I SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THAT IN TODAY'S ECONOMIC CLIMATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE...PLEASE HELP GET THE VEHICLE'S THAT USE THE "FLAWED"...
