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

I HAVE JUST HAD MY SECOND INCIDENCE OF A WINDOW REGULATOR SNAPPING IN MY 2004 FORD F150. I WAS JUST ROLLING MY ELECTRIC WINDOW UP AS I WAS GETTING MY TRUCK WASHED TODAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2010, AND A HORRENDOUS POP WAS HEARD BY ME AND BYSTANDERS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND THE WINDOW THEN SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. I HAVE BARELY OVER 70,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW, AND THE FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED AT 64,273. THE FIRST FIX COST ME $337.66 FOR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, AND TODAY'S FAILURE HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER REAR. THAT'S TWICE IN 6000 MILES. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE MY OTHER VEHICLE TO AS I MY VEHICLE IS NOW UNSECURE SINCE THE WINDOW CANNOT BE CLOSED. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CABLE SNAPPING, AND THE SAME SCARY SOUND HAPPENED TODAY SO I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THE SAME PART FAILURE OCCURRED TODAY. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE NOR THE ISSUE WHICH HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS F150 OWNERS TO LOSE OUT ON WAGES LOST TO HOURS MISSED AT WORK AND MONEY PAID TO HAVE THEIR EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BACK IN OPERATING ORDER. FORD HAS OFFERED TO LET ME BUY A NEW PART, AT MY EXPENSE, AND PAY THEM OVER $200 LABOR TO REPLACE. *TR

WHILE RAISING THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW OF MY 2004 FORD F150 TRUCK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE RAISED. FROM THE STAND POINT OF SAFETY, THE WIND NOISE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CREATES A DISTRACTION AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE IS THE REAL POTENTIAL FOR THE DRIVER TO BE STARTLED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FROM A PHYSICAL SECURITY STAND POINT, PASSENGERS, PETS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY ARE ALL AT RISK IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SECURED. THE ONLY PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH POWER WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE WERE WITH THE REAR WINDOW. *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 HAVE A 2004 FORD F150. THREE WEEKS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE AND FELL INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP. NOW, YESTERDAY AUGUST 31ST THE BACK SEAT DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING. I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN ALOT, THEY RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT, IN SAFETY SEATS AS REQUESTED BY LAW. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAFETY SEATS ARE ANY DIFFERENT THEN THE POSSIBILITY OF FLYING GLASS FROM A DEFECTIVE WINDOW. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. SECONDLY, I CALL AND MAKE A REPORT WITH FORD, HOPING THAT I CAN GET SOME RESOLVE. THEY FORWARD A CASE AND CASE NUMBER TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I DID PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP ME, THE REASONING BEHIND THE DECISION I WAS TOLD I DO NOT BRING MY VEHICLE IN OFTEN ENOUGH FOR THEM TO SERVICE. WELL, WHEN I NEEDED TIRES THEY WANTED OVER $600.00 I GOT THEM FOR $400.00. WHEN MY OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGE I TAKE IT TO WALMART BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER, I AM SORRY THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE JANUARY OF 2009 YOU HAVE TO SAVE WHEREVER YOU CAN. SO NOW, BECAUSE I TRIED TO SAVE MONEY, SO THAT I CAN SURVIVE THE CURRENT ECONOMIC TIMES I AM BEING PUNISHED AGAIN. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE SAFETY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN IS THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME AND MY HUSBAND. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO NO INNOCENT CHILDREN GET HURT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVEN'T TAKEN STIMULUS MONEY AND HURRAH FOR THEM BUT THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

STEERING, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING 40 MPH AND OVER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THIRD GEAR WHEN SHIFTED AND THE INTERIOR OF ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN PREMATURELY. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AT A LOCAL TIRE SPECIALTY FACILITY AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ROTATE THE TIRES EVERY 2000-3000 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN UNUSUAL KNOCKING FROM THE TOP PORTION OF THE ENGINE. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE CREW CAB WOULD BECOME FILLED WITH WATER THAT WAS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ABRUPTLY. WHEN DOING SO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

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

I OWN A 2004 F150 SUPER CREW TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATORS IN THREE OF MY WINDOWS BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ALMOST MADE ME WRECK MY TRUCK BECAUSE TWO OF THEM FELL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD SHOT IT OUT AND I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FOURTH ONE FALLS, FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL AND REPAIR AND REPLACE THOSE REGULATORS BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE REGULATORS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE A FORD F-150 BECAUSE YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND WORK. PLEASE RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND REPLACE THESE FAULTY REGULATORS FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILIES AND REPAIR THE GOOD NAME FORD USE TO HAVE WITH ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED IN ALL FOUR DOORS OF MY 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW PICKUP EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A SYSTEMATIC DESIGN OR QUALITY FLAW IN THESE REGULATORS WITH MINIMAL USAGE. WHEN THE REGULATOR FAILS, THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR AND CANNOT BE RAISED WITHOUT DISASSEMBLY OF THE DOOR. *TR
