FORD F150 CREW CAB. AT 45,000 MILES THE F/DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 76,000 MILES F/PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY. AT 95,000 MILES R/PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED. HAS NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE LATEST FAILURE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE COST WILL BE OR WHEN THE R/ DRIVERS SIDE WILL FAIL. NEITHER OF THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE BEEN USED MORE THAN 50 TIMES DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FROM OTHERS AND MY OWN PROBLEMS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IT APPEARS THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FACE UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKE CAUSING SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES. THE PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND DEFECTIVE. THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. WE HEAR A POPPING NOISE LIKE SOMEBODY THREW SOMETHING AT THE TRUCK AND THEN THE WINDOW FALLS INTO THE DOOR. WE HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS POSES A LARGE SAFETY RISK TO THEM. THESE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR FREE. *TR

WHILE ROTATING THE TIRES ON MY 2004 F-150 I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN. I THEN LOOKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SEEN THAT ONE WAS BROKEN ALSO. I WAS BROKE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AS THE OTHER ONE. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THIS TRUCK OFF THE ROAD. IT ONLY HAS 75000 MILES ON IT I THINK THESE SPRINGS SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. WHILE LOOKING ONLINE I NOTICED ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE OF BOTH FRONT TIRES WAS WEARING UNEVENLY. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRES AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT PERFORMED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALIGNMENT COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE WORN. THE BALL JOINTS WERE NOT REPLACED BUT THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND ALIGNED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 64,460.

POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE A FAULTY PLASTIC PIECE IN THEM CAUSING THE WINDOW TO JUST DROP UNEXPECTANTLY. I HAVE READ IN SOME CASES THE WINDOW BREAKS. I HAVE HAD TWO BAD REGULATORS GO OUT NOW IN AN 8 WEEK PERIOD AND HAVE A FOUR DOOR TRUCK. I'M SURE THE OTHER TWO ARE SOON TO FOLLOW *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN JUNE 2010 THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW MADE A BANG AND THE WINDOW SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR FRAME. DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $480 FOR A NEW REGULATOR AS I'M OUT OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD. 2 MONTHS LATER,AUGUST, THE DRIVER'S WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND IT RAN ME $230. THEN 2-MONTHS AFTER THAT, OCTOBER, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW MADE A BANG AND IT WENT DOWN INTO THE DOOR FRAME. 3 WINDOWS IN 6-MONTHS AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO RIDES IN MY TRUCK SO ALL THE WINDOWS EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE GET VERY LITTLE USAGE. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGISTERED HERE, I WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD DEMAND FORD IMPLEMENT A RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN WEARING INSULATED OR HEAVY WORK BOOTS, THE SHOE WOULD INADVERTENTLY ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. HE ALSO EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE SHOE WAS TOO BIG AND WOULD ALSO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

I'M NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND SURELY WON'T BE THE LAST; I WAS ON MY LUNCH BREAK WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO ROLL DOWN MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW THEN POW IT HAPPENED. YEP, THE[XXX] WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I PROCEEDED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW, BUT ONLY HEARD A GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE DOOR. SOUND FAMILIAR?? THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP AND IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. FORD SAYS IT WILL COST 400 OR SO DOLLARS IT COSTS TO FIX IT. I'M GOING TO HOLD OUT 'TIL FORD REALIZES THEY'VE MASS PRODUCED A BUNCHA [XXX] PARTS AND HAS A RECALL ON THEM!

THE POWER WINDOW ASSEMBLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 10 MONTH OLD ENGLISH LAB. I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. 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" WINDOW ASSEMBLY'S RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE REALLY ARE HURT AND/OR KILLED.

MY WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS OVER 350 DOLLARS AND IS THE SAME UNIT NOT A REDESIGNED/IMPROVED UNIT. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW; I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE, SO IT'S RIGGED TO STAY SHUT, BUT IF I NEED ANYTHING I HAVE TO OPEN MY DOOR: I HOPE I NEVER GET PULLED OVER, THE COP WILL PROBABLY SHOOT ME IF I DON'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND I OPEN THE DOOR INSTEAD. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 FX-4 PICKUP TRUCK THAT HAS A GRINDING NOISE IN THE REAREND. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHILE TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND GENE LATTA (THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN HANOVER,PA) SAID THEY FIXED BUT HERE IT IS AT 45,020 MILES MAKING THE SAME VIBRATING/GRINDING NOISE AGAIN. AFTER FINDING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND FORD SHOULD FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER!!!! *TR
