THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW BROKE. I WAS AT CVS AND ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE DOOR APART TO GET THE WINDOW UP BUT IT WON'T STAY UP. WE HAVE CHECKED AND ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE PART. SEEMS IT'S A DEALER ONLY PART, WE ARE CHECKING JUNKYARD BECAUSE THE PART IS ALMOST $200 FOR THE PART, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW IN THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 AND I HAVE HAD IT 2 1/2 YRS AND HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW TWICE IN THAT TIME. *TR

I OWN A 2004 F150 AND HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL ON MY TRUCK AS HAVE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE. I WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY WINDOW FELL INTO MY DOOR. THE DAY PRIOR I ROLLED MY WINDOW UP AT THE POST OFFICE AND HEARD A CRUNCHING OR CRACKING SOUND AS THE WINDOW REACHED THE TOP. I TOO DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL MY WINDOW FELL IN. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I PAID A FORD DEALERSHIP IN LOVELAND, COLORADO $400 TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED PARTS IN MY DOOR. THE OLD PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS I ASSUME THEY THREW IT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN A DRIVING WIND A LOT OF DUST/DIRT DEBRIS ENTERED MY TRUCK UNTIL I GOT PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I DID NOT GET ANYTHING IN MY EYES. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE REGULATORS AND REFUND PEOPLES EXPENSE THAT HAVE ALREADY FIXED THIS. *CN

DURING WINTER STORM 2010 (JANUARY 30-31, 2010) THE PASSAGER WINDOW ON MY 2004 F-150 SUDDENLY FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO CAVILIER FORD IN CHESAPEAKE, VA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR/PULLEY ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND THAT THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD COST $535; RESEACHED THIS ON THE WEB (CARCOMPLAINTS.COM) AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG, BIG, COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FIX. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS AND COULD HAPPEN REPEATLY. *CN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT THE SIDE OF MY CAR. BUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL. I AM JUST GLAD IT WASN'T A BACK WINDOW WITH KIDS IN THE BACK. THIS COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT. IT WAS ALSO RAINING/SNOWING DURING THE TIME IT FELL. I HAD TO TURN UP THE HEATER AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH THE WINDOW BROKEN. MY TRUCK JUST HAS 50, 000 THOUSAND MILES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
ONE YEAR AGO MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE STOPPED WORKING. MY F-150 WAS 47 MONTHS OLD AND PURCHASED TO GO IN SNOW AND OFF ROAD. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BROKE AND THE LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE (ALSO DEFECTIVE) ONLY SPINS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. NOW, IF YOU GET ON WET GRASS YOU ARE STUCK AND NEED A TOW. I TOOK MY F-150 TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DID A $100 DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. FORD DEALER SAID THIS 4X4 MODULE (INTEGRAL PART OF THE PCM) WAS NOT COVERED BY THE 8 YEAR 80,000 MILE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE F-150 WOULD STILL PASS EMISSIONS TESTING (THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF THE PCM STILL WORKED CORRECTLY). THE COST ESTIMATE STARTED AT $1100 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PCM, AND THE DEALER WAS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE ON THE REPAIR PRICE. THE REPAIR WAS NOT AFFORDABLE FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE TRUCK WAS TO GO IN THE SNOW, BUT IT IS WORSE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE IN THE SNOW NOW WITHOUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT CAN'T EVEN GET UP THE SLIGHT HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW, AND JUST SPINS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WITH ZERO TRACTION. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE PASSENGER SEAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT. THE FAILURE IS THAT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS BLOW OUT, JUST STOP WORKING AND THE WINDOW SLIDES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR OF ME HAVING HAD A DIFFERENT WINDOW'S REGULATOR REPLACED THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. TO CORRECT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED, ITS A DEALER-ONLY PART SO YOU CAN'T SAVE BY GOING TO A NON-DEALER WORKSHOP. *TR

I OWN A 2004 F-150 CREW CAB XLT PICKUP THAT I PURCHASED USED 1 YEAR AGO. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, IN BOTH INSTANCES THE WINDOW WAS BEING RAISED, AT ABOUT HALF WAY UP THE WINDOWS SUDDENLY STOPPED AND STARTED SLIDING DOWN ITS TRACK INSTEAD OF GOING UP. THE COST OF REPAIRING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW WAS $590. TO DATE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO REPLACE THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW, IT IS HELD UP WITH WOOD WEDGES. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN UNITS FAIL WITH LESS THEN 6 YEARS OF WEAR ON THEM AND IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE ON A TRIP. I HAVE HAD TO KEEPING EXTRA WOOD WEDGES IN MY TRUCK JUST INCASE ANOTHER WINDOW FAILS! *TR

ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK SO I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND WHEN I GOT HOME THE WINDOW WONT COME BACK UP. I HAD TO LEAVE THE TRUCK WITH THE WINDOW DOWN ALL NIGHT. I OPENED THE PANEL AND WIRES WERE EVERYWHERE I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE WHOLE WINDOW HARNESS. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NOW THE BUTTON IN THE BACK DOOR AND THE PASSENGER DOOR WONT WORK AND I THINK IT CAN BECOME A PROBLEM IN FUTURE. THE WINDOWS COME UP AND DOWN BUT ONLY FROM THE DRIVERS CONTROL PANEL. *TR

IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WINDOW REGULATOR AND A LITTLE RESEARCH LET ME KNOW THAT IT'S A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR'S (2004) FORD F150. *TR

2004 FORD F150 - WINDOWS SUDDENLY DROP INTO DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WWW FOR THIS PROBLEM - PLEASE ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL THIS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION (WHILE DRIVING). JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT MADE A NOISE AND HAVING MY CHILDREN SUDDENLY PELTED BY RAIN AND OTHER ROAD DEBRIS IS A SERIOUS, SERIOUS, SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE I'VE READ THAT NHTSA HAS "PETITIONED" FORD TO ISSUE THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE CLEARLY STATED TO THEIR CONSUMERS THAT THEY WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNLESS NHTSA ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL. PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS HAVE THE VOICE YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS DESIGNED FOR - TO NOT HAVE MANUFACTURERS IGNORE CONSUMER SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. IF YOUR ORGANIZATION CANNOT HELP, WHO ELSE CAN WE TURN TO SINCE THE MANUFACTURER IS COMPLETELY IGNORING THE CONSUMER SAFETY PROBLEM??? *TR
