PARKING BRAKE
MY 2004 FORD F-150 PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T RELEASE FULLY OR RANDOMLY ENGAGES AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS MAKES THE TRUCK SHIMMY BADLY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAPPEN A NUMBER OF MORE TIMES. FINELY THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL CAME LOOSE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I TRIED TO ENGAGE IT. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SAID MY PARKING BRAKE SHOES WHERE SHOT AND I MUST BE DRIVING WITH MY BRAKE ON. I WAS NOT. I PAID TO HAVE NEW PARKING BRAKE SHOES AND DRUMS TURNED.ABOUT 1 YR. LATER I WAS DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOT A BAD SHIMMING AGAIN .ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER MY PARKING BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. AT THIS TIME I KNEW THE PARKING BRAKE WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN THEY STILL SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

TWO WINDOW REGULATOR'S BROKEN IN 6 DAYS, I AM ONLY ONE OF OVER 800 COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE.. JUST THINK ABOUT HOW MANY THOUSANDS THERE MUST BE THAT JUST GO TO THE DEALER AND NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO GO ONLINE TO COMPLAIN. I CAN SEE THAT FORD AS WELL AS NHTSA HAS NO PLANS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IF SOMEONE KNOWS OF A GOOD CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT LAWYER LET ME KNOW. I THINK WE MUST NEED SOMEONE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT RELATED TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT TOYOTA, I HAD THREE DIFFERENT TOYOTA TRUCKS AND NEVER SAW A SHOP OTHER THAN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MY 04 F150 HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 75,000 ON THE DOT.. I HAVE PUT OVER $5,000 OF MAINTENANCE INTO MY TRUCK IN THE FOUR YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT. *TR

MY GENTLY USED 2004 FORD F-150 WITH APPROXIMATELY 63K MILES IS HAVING MOTOR PROBLEMS. THERE IS SEVERE TICKING/KNOCKING OF THE MOTOR FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE IS ALSO A GROSS LOSS OF POWER AND THE GAS MILEAGE HAS IMMENSELY DECREASED. ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY DONE ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS MAINLY DRIVEN ON THE WEEKENDS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM A NYC COMMUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITHOUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIR. THIS TRUCK IS GENTLY USED AND WAS CONVEYED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER BY FORD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. UPDATED IVOQ 12/01/10 *TR

MY FORD F-150 DRIVERS WINDOW POPPED EXTREMELY LOUD AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE AND IT MADE ME JERK THE WHEEL BECAUSE I THOUGHT ANOTHER CAR HAD HIT ME. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH FORD. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FORD PRODUCT. THE WINDOW JUST FALLS FOR NO REASON AND APPARENTLY THE DEALER IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND OVER CHARGING. ACCORDING TO THE WEB DISCUSSIONS, COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH FORD AND NTSB OVER THIS ISSUE. THIS MAKES BOTH ORGANIZATIONS LIABLE BECAUSE OF NOTIFICATIONS MADE. IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE! THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE BUT SYSTEMIC WITH FORD. JUST READ SOME OF THE STORIES POSTED AND YOU WILL BE ALARMED AT THE INCIDENTS. AS ALWAYS, UNTIL A DEATHS ARE RECORDED, THIS MATTER WILL BE SHELVED. THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED SINCE WE ARE THE ONES PAYING FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SUPPORTING BUSINESS. I WILL ALSO BEING POSTING THIS ON THE NBC NEWS WEBSITE AS WELL. *TR

CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 FORD F150 FX4. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY FELL OFF THE TRACK WHILE DRIVING AND INTO THE DOOR, THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T SHATTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. COST AROUND $500 TO FIX IT. A YEAR LATER THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL OF TRACK WHEN SHUTTING THE DOOR AND FELL DOWN INTO IT. DON'T REALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT, SO WE RIGGED IT TO STAY UP, HOWEVER IT FALLS SLOWLY WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING IT UP. NOW THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS FALLEN DOWN- WHERE OUR CHILD SITS AND THIS IS BECOMING A PROBLEM. $1500 TO FIX 3 WINDOWS IN 2 YEARS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT. FORD CLAIMS THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE THE RECALL FROM FORD, UNTIL THAT HAPPENS THEY WONT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A CONSUMER ISSUE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADVISE FORD OF THIS DEFECT AND URGE THE RECALL. *TR

FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR COMPONENTS. I REPLACED DRIVER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER (2004 F150 LARIAT CREW CAB) WINDOW REGULATOR. SEEMED TO BE AN OLD PART THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, UNTIL A FEW MONTHS, THE PASSENGER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO FAILED. NOW IT IS A CONCERN. THE REASON FOR THE COMPLAINT NOW IS BECAUSE MY 3RD REGULATOR BUSTED, THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR THAT FAILED. NOW THIS REALLY PRESENTS A PROBLEM AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE ONLY ONE LEFT TO FAIL IS MY DRIVER DOOR. THE MASTER SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED, SO THAT CAN BE RULED OUT. IN ALL INSTANCES, I HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM THE WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR, FOLLOWING WITH A SUDDEN DROP OF THE WINDOWS. CALL ME LUCKY BUT NONE OF THE WINDOWS SHATTERED FROM THE FALL INTO THE DOOR COMPARTMENT. LOOKS LIKE FOR D BEEFED UP ON THE PULLEY ASSEMBLY OF THE NEW, REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATORS. SEEKING REPAIRS OF NEW INCIDENTS AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACED PARTS. *TR

ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO, 2004 F150 BACK FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL BECAUSE THE REGULATOR STOPPED WORKING. I BIG POP WAS HEARD BEFORE THE WINDOW STARTED TO FALL. I HAD IT REPAIRED FOR ABOUT $300. YESTERDAY, MY BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL BECAUSE THE REGULATOR BROKE. IT IS CURRENTLY CLAMPED WITH WEDGES SO THE WINDOW WILL NOT FALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-150 PICKUP INTO MY GARAGE. I PUSHED THE WINDOW BUTTON TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND MY WINDOW DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM OF MY DOOR IN A SPLIT SECOND. I HEARD THE WINDOW GLASS BREAK. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER TOMORROW TO GET THE WINDOW REPLACED ALONG WITH THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR. I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO HAVE ALL 4 REGULATORS REPLACED SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING OR WHILE MY VEHICLE IS SITTING UNATTENDED IN A PARKING LOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK, AND WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING WHAM THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN AND SHE NEARLY WRECKED DUE TO THE SCARE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE REGULATOR HAS GONE OUT. I LOOKED INTO HAVING THIS REPAIRED AND WAS SHOCKED AS TO HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THEIR WERE ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR AND AM WONDERING WHAT IT WILL TAKE BEFORE FORD OR NHTSA DOES SOMETHING "RECALL" . I PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE THE LOSS OF LIFE TO HAVE THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC REPLACED. *TR
