2004 FORD F-150 Visibility Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WINDOW REGULATORS WERE FAILING. THE FIRST TO FAIL WAS ON THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW AND THE DRIVER REAR SIDE WAS FAILING. THE WINDOWS DROPPED DOWN AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO ROLL IT UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE FIRST REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IN MY F150 FX4 WENT DOWN AND OUT. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, NOW MY PASSENGER REAR WINDOW IS JUST GRINDING GEARS. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 48K ON IT AND IS WELL SERVICED. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS I DECIDED TO PUT MINE IN SINCE THIS IS CRAZY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE, IT MIGHT NOT CAUSE DEATH BUT FORD AND PARTS STORES AREN'T OPEN 24/7 SO YOU HAVE A WIDE OPEN TRUCK TO STEAL OR STEAL YOUR BELONGINGS WHILE YOU WINDOW IS DOWN. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TO VIOLENTLY FALL FROM THE TOP (CLOSED) POSITION TO THE BOTTOM (OPEN) POSITION OF THE DOOR PANEL. WEATHER WAS RAINING AND CAUSING NOT ONLY DRIVING ISSUES BUT PARKING ISSUES AS WELL BEING UNABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF THEFT OR DAMAGE. *TR

2004 FORD F150 CREW CAB FRONT WINDOW FELL IN DOOR ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY WIFE AND SON WERE IN THE TRUCK DURING RAIN STORM .THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD TO FIX THE WINDOWS ON THIS TRUCK. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY WIFE HEARD A POP THEN ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER THE PASSENGER WINDOW JUST DROPS DOWN INTO THE DOOR CAVITY. FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FORD PICKUP WINDOW REGULATOR MECHANISM THAT IS DEFECTIVE. TOOK VEHICLE INTO A WINDOW REPAIR SHOP AND HE DIAGNOSED IT NEEDING A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT INSTALLED. HE PATCHED US UP TO GET US HOME FOR NOW, ITS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND SO NO POSSIBILITY OF GETTING THE PART FAST AND WE ARE AWAY FROM HOME VISITING RELATIVES. *TR

2004 F150 SC WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. I AM ON MY THIRD REGULATOR IN THE DRIVERS DOOR NOW. YESTERDAY I FOUND THE PASSENGER WINDOW DOWN AND I HAVE THE TRUCK IN FORD DEALERSHIP NOW FOR REPAIR. I HAVE STARTED USING THE OLD RELIABLE "CLUB" ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM HAVING MY TRUCK STOLEN WHEN THE WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS AND THE WINDOW IS DOWN ALLOWING ANYONE TO ENTER MY TRUCK EVEN WHEN I HAVE CLOSED ALL THE WINDOWS AND LOCKED IT WHEN I EXIT. *TR

I PARKED MY 04 F150 IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, LOCKED IT, AND SHUT THE DOOR. I HEARD A POPPING SOUND, TURNED AROUND AND MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS DOWN. I OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR, AND THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN DOWN IN THE DOOR. I TRIED TO ROLL IT UP AND IT DID NOTHING BUT MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, IT HAS HAPPENED TO COUNTLESS FORD PICK UPS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX YET, SO I HAVE A PIECE OF WOOD WEDGED IN THE DOOR TO HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. *TR

ON 6-1-10 THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILED ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK. ON 7-31-10 THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ALSO FAILED. ON EACH OCCASION THE FAILURE WAS PRECEDED BY AN ALARMING BANG FROM THE DOOR, ON EACH OCCASION LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED. THESE FAILURES WERE FIXED AT FORD DEALERS TOTALING $ 656.00 ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE DEALER RETAINED THE FAILED PARTS. *TR

MY WINDOW REGULATOR GAVE OUT FOR THE 3RD TIME THIS YEAR I CANT AFFORD TO PAY $200+ DOLLARS TO REPLACE A PART THAT WONT BE SOLD WITH OUT MOTOR SO THAT THEY CAN CHARGE MORE ON MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW..... *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 F-150 TRUCK 3-MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 2-DAYS. UPON OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR I NOTICED THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT RAISE. MY FORD DEALER INDICATED THE PLASTIC PARTS ON THE REGULATOR HAD FAILED AND DROPPED THE WINDOW INSIDE THE DOOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. NOONE WAS OPENING OR CLOSING THE PASSENGER DOOR OR ATTEMPTING TO RAISE OR LOWER THE WINDOW. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR NEXT TO A PASSENGER, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. WHEN I PARK AND LOCK MY TRUCK, I DON'T EXPECT THE WINDOWS TO FALL OUT OR DOWN INTO THE DOORS. THIS THEN BECOMES A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE AND PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEFT OR VANDALISM OF THE VEHICLE. THE PLASTIC PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY CHEAPER TO USE AND NOT ENGINEERED FOR THE STRESSES ON THEM OR...

2004 FORD F-150 DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW POPPED LOUDLY AND SNAPPED DOWN TO FULLY OPEN POSITION. *TR

2004 FORD F150. ELECTRIC WINDOWS WILL FALL DOWN INTO DOORS. PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAVE FALLEN WITHIN 5 MONTHS. 32,000 MILES. HAVE TO REPLACE CABLES THAT HOLD WINDOWS. *TR

RECALL 2004 FORD F-150 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS - THE 4 WINDOWS ON MY 2004 F150, IN ALL 4 DOORS HAVE FALLEN DOWN. FOR 4 YEARS, I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE WINDOW REGULATORS, BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE REGULATORS AS BEING DEFECTIVE, OR UNDER WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO THE FORD PARTS PERSON I SPOKE TO THE OTHER DAY THE WINDOW REGULATOR PART# HAS CHANGED NOW 3 TIMES AND HE STATED THAT FORD NEVER CHANGES THE PART # UNLESS THERE IS A PHYSICAL CHANGE TO THE PART AND HE STATED THEY HAVE HAD "ISSUES" WITH THESE REGULATORS THUS THE CHANGE, HE STATED THAT THE NEWEST VERSION HAS BEEN BEEFED UP AROUND THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT KEEPS BREAKING OFF, HOPEFULLY THE NEWEST VERSIONS HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT AS YOU CAN SEE JUST BY THE FACT THAT FORD HAS CHANGED THE PART # 3 TIMES THEY KNOW...

DRIVER & PASSENGER WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. JUST HEARD A LOUD CRACK WHEN THE WINDOW GAVE OUT AND DROPPED WITH FULL FORCE INTO THE DOOR. WAS ON A TRIP DRIVING THROUGH RAIN/HAIL STORM WHEN PASSENGER WINDOW GAVE OUT. FORD WILL NOT REPLACE AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NEW PARTS ORDERED AND REPLACED. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 SUPER-CREW. I WAS TURNING LEFT ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION. HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND MY DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW FELL FROM SIGHT. IT STARTLED ME ENOUGH TO MAKE ME SWERVE. WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. INCIDENT DATE - JULY 27, 2010 REPAIR IS EXPENSIVE. SEARCHING FOR A CHEAPER OPTION THAN THE DEALER. I HAVE CONCERN OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR SUDDENLY FAILED AND WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WAY TO PUT WINDOW BACK UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OF COURSE IT WAS RAINING. AFTER TAKING DOOR APART I WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDOW 3/4 OF THE WAY UP BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO GO ALL OF THE WAY. 65K MILES ON TRUCK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS I GUESS THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT IT LASTED AS LONG AS IT DID. LOOKS LIKE THAT FORD HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT FAILS AND YOU CAN'T GET OR KEEP WINDOW UP. *TR

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW FALLING. ON JULY 27, 2010 I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WHILE DRIVING, UPON DOING THIS THERE WAS A LOUD POP. I ATTEMPTED ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP BUT WHEN I PUSHED THE UP BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE DOWN BUTTON ONLY TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. MY TRUCK MILEAGE IS A LITTLE OVER 87K. *TR

REAR WINDOW FAILURE- 2004 F150 THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE NET AND FORD DOES NOTHING. 115 IN ARIZONA AND AIR CAN'T KEEP UP WITH A WINDOW THAT WON'T STAY UP. IF MY YOUNG SONS DIES BECAUSE OF THE HEAT THEN IT WILL BE TO LATE, THEN FORD WILL BE PAYING BIG TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 LARIAT SUPER CREW CAB. IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE POWER SWITCHES AND REGULATORS REPLACED IN THREE DOORS ON MY TRUCK. THE LATEST BEING FRIDAY, JULY 16, 2010. I HAVE LOOKED ON NUMEROUS SITES ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT A PROBLEM FROM THEIR STANDPOINT. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY PROBLEM TO REPAIR AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW OF MY 2004 FORD F150 FELL OUT DUE TO A FAULTY REGULATOR. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, CAUSING WINDOW TO COME CRASHING DOWN IN A RAIN STORM WITH CHILDREN IN THE REAR. UPON RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, YET FORD CHOOSES TO IGNORE IT. *TR

FAILED WINDOW REGULATOR. ACTUALLY THE THIRD OVER 1 YEAR. FIRST THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, PLASTIC SLIDE BECAME BRITTLE, CABLE BROKE AWAY AND SMACKED THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR HARD ENOUGH THAT IT SCARED ME...I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN SHOT AT BY A GUN! DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT IF I HAD BEEN IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC, I MIGHT HAVE. THAT WAS MAY 30, 2009. EXACTLY ONE MONTH LATER ON JUNE 30, 2009 THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WINDOW DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT WHILE DRIVING ALONG. TODAY 6/29/2010, THE THIRD WINDOW DROPS OUT OF SIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR OF MY FX4. THIS TIME, IT WAS RAINING. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME AND COVER THE VEHICLE TO AVOID MORE WATER DAMAGE. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 SIDE WINDOWS FALL DOWN. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK LESS THAN 1 AND A HALF YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED TWO REGULATORS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THE DANGER OF THESE WINDOWS WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING ALONG AND THEY JUST FALL DOWN INTO DOOR. CONCERNED THAT A CHILD WILL BE HURT WHILE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING, THE WINDOW JUST FALLS AND NO MORE WINDOW. AT THAT POINT YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS,HOW DO YOU GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD IN A BAD RAIN STORM WITH NO DRIVER WINDOW OR IF A CHILD WOULD BE IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND YOU WOULD BE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I KNOW FORD HAS REMADE THIS PART SEVERAL TIMES BUT IS NOT INFORMING THE PUBLIC OF THIS HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE NOW REPLACED BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2004 F150 LARIAT. THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW FELL IN JUNE 2009 @127K MI. THE PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOWS FELL TODAY (6/17/2010) @ 149K MILES. THE COSTS OF REPLACING THE REGULATOR IN EACH CASE WERE AS FOLLOWS: PASSENGER SIDE: $$539.47 DRIVER SIDE: $500.00 GIVEN ALL THE REPORTED INCIDENTS OF THIS THAT I AM SEEING REPORTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND FORUMS, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA. DEMAND A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THIS OBVIOUS QUALITY DEFECT THAT IS: 1) COSTLY TO REPAIR 2) CREATES A DANGEROUS IN-CAR SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING AND HEARD A "POP SOUND" THEN NOTICE THAT THE WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR GOING OUT, 2004 FORD F150. NOW ALL WINDOW MOTORS (4) HAVE BROKEN WITHIN THE LAST 16MONTHS. TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL TIMES DUE TO THE DIFFICULT WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY A TRAINED MECHANIC. COST FOR A SINGLE WINDOW $389.00. *TR

DRIVER DOOR POWER WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR, WILL NOT COME BACK UP. MOTOR SOUNDS AS IF IT'S RUNNING, BUT WINDOW DOES NOT COME UP, ALSO SOME NOISE FROM INSIDE DOOR PANEL SOUNDS LIKE PARTS RATTLING AROUND WHEN WINDOW MOTOR RUNS. *TR

I HAVE HAD ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL IN MY 2004 F-150 SUPER CREW. ONE OF THE 4, FELL SLOWLY, BUT THE OTHER THREE DROPPED SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY, CAUSING A ME TO BE STARTLED WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN ANY OF THE 4 INCIDENTS. HOWEVER, TWO OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER AND A RAIN STORM, CREATING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS UNTIL I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE REGULATORS. THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I BEG TO DIFFER WHETHER IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE WINDOW HAS DROPPED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SOUNDING AS IF THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. BEING STARTLED WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS POSSIBLY HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW DROPPED...

THE 3RD WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY FORD 150 HAS FAILED. ALL HAVE DROPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD. TWO ON A FREEWAY. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND DON'T NEED THEM THAT CLOSE TO AN OPEN WINDOW. I HAVE HAD TWO REGULATORS REPLACED IN THE PAST 1.5 YEARS AND NOW NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE REPLACED! *TR

I HAVE A FORD F150 2004 WITH ONLY 45000 MILES AND THE WINDOWS IN THE REAR DROPPED WILL DRIVING AND MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL BECOME AN EXTREME HAZARD AND SOMEONE WILL END UP HURT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... ITS WILL...IF IT HASN'T ALREADY COST SOMEONE TO CRASH AND POSSIBLY LOSE A LIFE. *TR

POWER WINDOW ASSEMBLY CABLE CAME LOOSE AFTER PLASTIC PULLEY BROKE, WINDOW FELL DOWN ON BOTH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP (SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT) THAT MADE ME SWERVE. AFTER STABILIZING MY TRUCK, I REALIZED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE LOUD POP WAS A BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN YESTERDAY AGAIN I WAS DRIVING AND THE OTHER WINDOW DID THE SAME THING, THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES!!!!!!! *TR

POWER WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN A STORM. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS HAVE HAD 3 PROBLEMS. I'VE HAD THE REGULATOR GO OUT ONCE AND HAVE HAD THE POWER ASSEMBLY / CONTROL PANEL REPLACED TWICE. *TR

2004 FORD F150 POWER WINDOW FAILURES, WINDOWS DROP DOWN INTO THE DOOR. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD POP. WINDOW FALLS DOWN. THE NEW PART IS 170.00. *TR

PROBLEM POWER WINDOWS, WITHIN ONE WEEK THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR, AND NEXT ON THE FREEWAY THE PASSENGER WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN, APPARENTLY THE CABLES ARE INFERIOR. SO HOW COME NO RECALL FOR THIS JUNK. FORD WANTS 700 TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME INFERIOR PARTS. FORD F150. AND NO I DON'T LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD AND IT'S NOT A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F150 CREW CAB. I HAVE HAD ALL WINDOWS FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR FINDING MY TRUCK SITTING PARKED WITH THE WINDOW FALLEN ALL THE WAY DOWN.. I HAVE HAD THINGS STOLEN OUT OF MY TRUCK AND THE INTERIOR SOAKED. I HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE EVERY TIME AND THEY DO NOT GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THE FAULTY PLASTIC WINDOW REGULATORS THEY ARE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH. IT IS ASHAME THEY ARE NOT BEING PROACTIVE BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF IT. IF MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE LOST AND IN A BAD AREA AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN WITH NO WAY TO GET IT BACK UP SHE WOULD BE VULNERABLE. IF A STORM CAME AND SHE WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WITH NO REFUGE IN THE COLD WITH A BABY IN THE CAR, THEN WHAT? THEY ARE ALSO NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE...

2004 F150 WINDOW . WINDOW JUST FELL IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN. MADE IT HARD TO DRIVE WHEN THE RAIN WAS POURING IN THE WINDOW. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F-150. I HAVE NOW REPLACED MY FOURTH WINDOW REGULATOR IN LESS THAN A 1 1/2 YEAR SPAN. I HAVE SPENT OVER $12000.00 REPLACING THEM. TWO OF THE WINDOWS HADN'T BEEN USED WHEN THEY JUST DROPPED DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. MOTOR/GEAR JUST GRINDED. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE REGULATORS. *TR

2004 FORD F150, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP AND FELL. THIS IS MY 3RD WINDOW TO BREAK. FORD MUST RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

BOTH REAR WINDOWS IN MY 2004 FORD F150 BROKE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE WINDOWS DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AND THEY KEEP BREAKING. I WAS JUST STING AT A LIGHT THEN HEARD SOMETHING LIKE A ROCK HIT THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK THEN THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED IT WAS THE CABLES THAT HOLD THE WINDOWS UP SNAPPING. I HAVE THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN AND LIVE WHERE THERE ARE EXTREME TEMPS. I CANNOT HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN EXPOSED TO THESE KIND OF ENVIRONMENTS. FORD IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET THESE PARTS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR

2ND WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE IN 2 MONTHS. WINDOWS CAME CRASHING DOWN BOTH TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. EXPENSIVE REPAIRS FOR A SMALL DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW WITH A STARTLING LOUD BANG (THOUGHT I GOT SHOT BY SOMEONE WITH ROAD RAGE) FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS OF CREATIVE DRIVING I UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW HAD DONE THE SAME THING 6 MO. EARLIER WHILE SITTING STILL AT A DRIVE THRU.............DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE..........BEFORE THE STUFFED SHIRTS AND LAWYERS WHO SWEEP THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE RUG ARE CALLED TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS AS TO WHEN THEY KNEW ABOUT SAID PROBLEM....... *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW BROKE. I WAS AT CVS AND ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE DOOR APART TO GET THE WINDOW UP BUT IT WON'T STAY UP. WE HAVE CHECKED AND ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE PART. SEEMS IT'S A DEALER ONLY PART, WE ARE CHECKING JUNKYARD BECAUSE THE PART IS ALMOST $200 FOR THE PART, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW IN THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 AND I HAVE HAD IT 2 1/2 YRS AND HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW TWICE IN THAT TIME. *TR

RIGHT SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR WHILE DRIVING, IM TOLD THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED......TWO MONTHS AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 F150 AND HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL ON MY TRUCK AS HAVE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE. I WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY WINDOW FELL INTO MY DOOR. THE DAY PRIOR I ROLLED MY WINDOW UP AT THE POST OFFICE AND HEARD A CRUNCHING OR CRACKING SOUND AS THE WINDOW REACHED THE TOP. I TOO DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL MY WINDOW FELL IN. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I PAID A FORD DEALERSHIP IN LOVELAND, COLORADO $400 TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED PARTS IN MY DOOR. THE OLD PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS I ASSUME THEY THREW IT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN A DRIVING WIND A LOT OF DUST/DIRT DEBRIS ENTERED MY TRUCK UNTIL I GOT PULLED OVER ON THE...

2004 FORD F150 - WINDOWS SUDDENLY DROP INTO DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WWW FOR THIS PROBLEM - PLEASE ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL THIS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION (WHILE DRIVING). JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT MADE A NOISE AND HAVING MY CHILDREN SUDDENLY PELTED BY RAIN AND OTHER ROAD DEBRIS IS A SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE I'VE READ THAT NHTSA HAS "PETITIONED" FORD TO ISSUE THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CLEARLY STATED TO THEIR CONSUMERS THAT THEY WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNLESS NHTSA ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL. PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS HAVE THE VOICE YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS DESIGNED FOR - TO NOT HAVE MANUFACTURERS IGNORE CONSUMER SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. IF YOUR ORGANIZATION CANNOT HELP, WHO ELSE CAN WE TURN TO SINCE THE MANUFACTURER IS COMPLETELY IGNORING THE CONSUMER SAFETY...

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT WITH 83,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 5 MONTHS A CABLE POPPED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW AND THE WINDOW FELL. NOW, 5 MONTHS LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. A LOUD POP THEN THE WINDOW FELL. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO FIX THEM. NOT TO MENTION, IT'S COSTLY FOR THE OWNERS TO FIX AT $350-$400 PER WINDOW THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE SHOULD HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SIMPLY FELL DOWN (OPEN). *TR

THIS SAFETY CONCERN IS IN REGARDS TO THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FOUND IN MY 2004 FORD F-150. THE FIRST WINDOW REGULATOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) WENT OUT WHILE IN NORTH DAKOTA. THERE WAS NO WARNING JUST A LOUD POP, FOLLOWED BY THE WINDOW FALLING IN THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ONE WEEK LATER TO THE DAY. WHEN BOTH OF THESE BROKE, I WAS LEFT WITH NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY INSIDE THE CAB OF MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. IF THERE IS ANY SORT OF PRECIPITATION, YOU ARE NO LONGER PROTECTED. ALSO, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, PROPERTY, AND TRUCK HAS BEEN JEOPARDIZED. ANOTHER PROBLEM ARISES WHEN YOU GO TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN JAMESTOWN, NORTH DAKOTA WHO NEW OF THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS THEY SAW MY WINDOW. HOWEVER, THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR WITH THE SAME PART...
