I OWN A 2004 FORD F150, THREE OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POOR DESIGN FROM FORD. THE FRONT TWO WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, & THE RIGHT REAR WHICH WAS REPLACED LAST MONTH 08/2010 I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. READING ALL OF THE PRIOR COMPLAINS, I HAD SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE WINDOWS JUST SIMPLY FALL DOWN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. ONE OF THE INCIDENTS MY FAMILY & I WERE ON THE FREEWAY & WHEN ONE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT IT CAUSED A LOUD SOUND, WE ACTUALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT US. SOON AFTER THE SOUND OF THE WIND NOT CIRCULATING PROPERLY WAS MAKING OUR EARS HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD!! *TR

3RD POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE IN 1.5 YRS ON 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW TRUCK. WHEN REGULATOR FAILS, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH SOMEONE STRUCK OR SHOT THE WINDOW CAUSING ME TO JUMP AND TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND IF ANY PASSENGERS WERE INJURED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH AN ON-COMING VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE REGULATORS REPLACED BY A LOCAL PAINT AND BODY SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE REGULATORS. MY COST TO DATE HAS BEEN IN EXCESS OF $350 AND I NOW HAVE TWO SUCTION CUPS HOLDING ONE WINDOW UP UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

WHILE ON A 700 MILE TRIP, DRIVING AT NIGHT IN HEAVY RAIN, I HEARD A LOUD POP ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS, BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. AFTER STOPPING AT A GAS STATION AND CLOSING MY DOOR, THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR'S PULLEY HAD BROKE CAUSING THE METAL WIRE TO SNAP OUT AND THE WINDOW FALL DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD TOOLS WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE WITH A PAIR OF VISE-GRIPS UNTIL I COULD GET HOME AND REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR TRACK. MY CONCERN IS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD MY WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE HEAVY RAIN. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DISTRACTED CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A COLLISION. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK ON LOCAL ROADS, THE PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED WINDOW WHICH WAS FULLY UP SUDDENLY SLOWLY RECEDED DOWN INTO THE DOOR OF THE TRUCK AND NOW CANNOT BE RAISED BACK UP. THE WINDOW IS NOT BROKEN, AND THE NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE WINDOW CONTROL SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS (AND THE DEALER), AND THE CONCLUSION SO FAR (HEARING THE DESCRIPTION BUT WITHOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE) IS THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2004 FORD F-150. SO FAR 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS A SECURITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. TWICE THE WINDOWS FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR WINDOW FAILED WHILE MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND I HAD TO CONTINUE TRAVEL WHILE WIND WAS BLOWING ON HER. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW JUST FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND STARTLED ME ENOUGH THAT I ALMOST WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITS THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE THEY HAVE TO DO THIS REPAIR SO OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE AN 2004 FORD F150 AND OVER THE APPROXIMATELY PAST 21 MONTHS I HAVE HAD FIRSTLY THE DRIVERS WINDOW CAME DOWN ON ITS OWN, (I HAVE A CREW CAB WITH 4 DOORS) THEN THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND THIS WEEK THE LEFT REAR CAME DOWN ON IT'S OWN, (HAVEN'T GOT THIS ONE FIXED YET) DOING SO THIS OR NEXT WEEK. THE REPAIR COST ME $330 APPROXIMATELY $90 LABOR AND $200 PLUS FOR THE PART, I GET NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR RELIEF OVER THE COST FROM THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY YET. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT. EACH TIME, THE WINDOW WAS UP, I HEARD A CLICK AND DOWN IT CAME... I WAS NOT LOWERING THE WINDOWS. I HAVEN'T LOWERED ANY EXCEPT THE REPAIRED DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SINCE ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE RIGHT REAR CAME DOWN.. I ONLY OPEN THE LEFT FRONT (DRIVERS) AND THIS INCLUDES THE MOON ROOF, I DON'T OPEN THAT EITHER FOR FEAR IT WILL BREAK. THE IRONIC THING IS ALL 3 CAME DOWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BUTTONS TO LOWER OR RAISE THEM. I SEE BELOW THERE IS SPACE FOR ONLY 1 ENTRY FOR "APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE" SO I WILL USE THE FIRST ONE. TWO OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE COMING OR GOING TO MY DOCTOR FOR CHEMOTHERAPY. I HAVE CANCER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 THAT DIES, STALLS, OR SURGES AT STOP LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEED. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T SEND ANY ERROR CODES TO THE COMPUTER. THE PICKUP WILL JUST DIE DURING WHILE TURNING OR STOPPING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT CORRECTED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS DUE TO DYING DURING TURNING. *TR

IN 2008 I PURCHASED A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT( 4 DOOR). IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR ( 2010) THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FAILED, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR FAILED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME RESULT. TODAY, SEPT 7, THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I FIND THE FAILURE OF THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM TO BE FAIRLY COMMON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS AN UNEXPECTED LOWERING OF THE WINDOW CAN CAUSE ITEMS INSIDE THE TRUCK TO FLY AROUND INSIDE THE CAB AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD HAS HAD AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF THIS FAILURES AND SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS AT THEIR COST IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPED, AT THAT TIME MY GRANDSON (3) TAUGHT IT WOULD BE OK TO THROW HIS SOCKER BALL OUT. THE BALL BOUNCED OF A CAR BEHIND ME BUT NO DAMAGE BUT SCARED THE DRIVER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, WINDOWS SHOULD NOT DROP LIKE THAT GOOD THING WEATHER WAS GOOD, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF IT HAD BEEN RAINING THE OTHER CAR WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND I WOULD BE GETTING SEUD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS FIXING BY FORD BECAUSE IS NOT AN ISOLETED PROBLEM THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WINDOW NOT FIXED YET STILL RESEARCHING FOR PARTS. *TR
