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

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.

I HAVE A 2004 F150 LARIAT AND IN 2007 MY PASS REAR WINDOW FELL DOWN, SO HERE I AM RIDING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOUT 97 DEGREES WHEN I HERE THIS NOISE FROM THE REAR AND GOOD THING I DO NOT SCARE EASILY OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $500.00 TO FIX IT. SO HERE IT IS 2010 AND THE OTHER REAR DOOR WINDOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING, NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL COST THIS TIME BUT I CAN SEE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW TRUCK. I JUST TURNED ON THE AIRCONDITION BECAUSE IT WAS OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I LOWERED THE REAR WINDOWS TO HELP COOL THE INSIDE QUICKER. I HEARD THIS LOUD THUD AND THEN A GRINDING SOUND AS THE WINDOWS ARE LOWERED. I GOT WORRIED. I THEN RAISED THE WINDOWS AND WHILE THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW WENT UP, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW DID NOT. INSTEAD I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT WINDOW IS STILL OPEN. I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT OPEN SINCE MY DESTINATION IS CLOSE BY. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I TRIED TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS A COUPLE MORE TIMES TO TRY TO CLOSE IT, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. SINCE I'M WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO THE TRUCK AND EVERYTHING I HAD INSIDE, I DECIDED TO SLEEP IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK THAT NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT INSTEAD THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON 2004 AND 2005 F150, IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION I WANTED. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR PANEL, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CABLE IS LOOSE AND BENT. THE PLASTIC WINDOW REGULATOR HAS MANGLED THE CABLE, LEAVING THE WINDOW DOWN. I'M NOW TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE WINDOW REGULATOR TO REPLACE IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 THAT HAS FOUR DOORS WITH A CREW CAB. ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED ON THE TRUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THE BACK WINDOWS HAVE FILED AND THEY ARE NOT USED AT ALL. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT IF THE WINDOW WERE TO SHATTER AND GLASS COME INSIDE THE CABIN. I HAVE REPLACED 2 OF THE FOUR REGULATORS AND THEY ARE POORLY DESIGNED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE FORD MOTOR COMPANY OWN UP TO THE POOR DESIGN AND SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
