TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F150. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE CONTACT OBSERVED THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE WINDOW GLASS SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THE DOOR GLASS BOLTS DETACHED FROM THE WINDOW REGULATOR. THE VEHICLE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED UNDER THE SERVICE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING. THE DEFECTIVE REGULATORS WERE ON THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHICH SPECIALIZED IN REPLACEMENTS OF THE POWER WINDOW SYSTEM AND WINDOW GLASS. THE WINDOW GLASS WAS PROPERLY SECURED IN AN UPWARD POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 60,000. UPDATED 09/14/09. *LJ UPDATED 09/16/09.*JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT
1. AS I WAS LEAVING THE WAL-MART PARKING LOT THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER BALL JOINT ON MY 1995 FORD F-150 4X4 BROKE APART AND DISABLED THE VEHICLE. THE BALL JOINT MANUFACTURER APPARENTLY DID NOT PUT GREASE IN THE JOINT WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED. 2. I DO NOT KNOW HOW OFTEN THIS PART FAILS ON THE FORD F-150. IT FAILED ON MY VEHICLE AT 62K MILES DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFICIENCY. FORTUNATELY THE FAILURE WAS AT PARKING LOT SPEED. HAD IT OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED AND POSSIBLY KILLED OTHERS AS THE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THE PART FAILED. 3. I HAD THE VEHICLE HAULED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED IT AT A COST OF OVER $500. FEARING THAT THE LEFT FRONT MIGHT ALSO FAIL I HAD IT REPLACED FOR A TOTAL COST $1,071.94. I REQUESTED THAT ALL PARTS BE SAVED AND PROVIDED TO ME AND HAVE ALL THAT WERE PROVIDED. I DISCOVERED UPON EXAMINATION THAT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE THE RUST PITTED BALL JOINT IN THE PARTS THEY PROVIDED ME BUT THE TORN OPEN JOINT ASSEMBLY AND REST OF THE PARTS ARE INCLUDED. THE FORD DEALER WHO MADE THE REPAIRS AND THE PRESIDENT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY THROUGH HIS REPRESENTATIVE HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART AS THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL IN PLACE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PART. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS OCCURS OFTEN BUT THEY HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK FOR THE RIGHT FRONT REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED FOR THE LEFT FRONT TO BE REPAIRED THEY HAD TO ORDER THOSE PARTS IN. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THIS MATTER AND MY ATTEMPTS TO GET THE REPAIRS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY FORD VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 45 YEARS IN EXCESS OF 100K MILES (ONE OVER 200K MILES) AND HAVE NEVER HAD UP UPPER BALL JOINT FAIL. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND CONSTITUTES A DANGER TO ANY DRIVER OF THE F-150. *TR

OWNER OF A 2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4X4. I CANNOT SAY THAT ANY PARTICULAR EVENT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE OF THIS ISSUE. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR POWER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE WINDOW LIFT ASSEMBLY. APPARENTLY A CABLE CAME LOOSE THAT SUPPORTS THE WINDOW AND IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT, NOT TO MENTION THEFT AND WEATHER CONCERNS. AS FAR AS REPAIR, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE REPLACEMENT COST FOR REPAIRS, WHICH WAS CLOSE TO $400.00. I BALKED AT THAT HAVING THIS REPAIRED CURRENTLY AND SIMPLY DUCT TAPED THE WINDOW UP TO AT LEAST PREVENT RAIN FROM ENTERING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE MYSELF (CANNOT WITHOUT $200 PART), BUT THE PART IN QUESTION IS STILL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD 2-3 WINDOWS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A "WEAR" ISSUE. I BELIEVE A PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS A CABLE DETERIORATES AND BECOMES FAULTY OVER TIME REGARDLESS OF USE. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT CONSIDER THIS A "MAINTENANCE-TYPE" ITEM. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW ON MY 2005 FORD F150 XLT 4X4 TRUCK SUDDENLY SLIPPED ALL OF THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WHILE I WAS PARKED BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALL ATTEMPTS TO RAISE IT USING THE POWER BUTTONS FAILED AND IT WASN'T UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS LATER THAT I WAS ABLE TO DISMANTLE THE DOOR AND PROP THE WINDOW CLOSED. I FEEL THIS CONSTITUTED A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS OCCURRENCE IN UNSAFE, HIGH CRIME AREAS AND DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF OCCURRENCE DURING ADVERSE, POSSIBLY LIFE THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2005 FORD F-150 STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH. ACCELERATOR HAD NO RESPONSE AND TRUCK WENT TO IDLE RPM. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY STREET. I CONSIDER THIS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENED UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I ROLLED UP MY WINDOW ON MY 2005 FORD F-150 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE A PISTOL SHOT, THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR LIKE A ROCK. I THEN ROLLED UP MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WHEN IT POPPED AS WELL. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID NOT FALL, THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD BROKEN AS WELL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TO REPLACE THE REGULATORS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVERS SIDE DOORS IS TO BE $810 PLUS TAX. I ASKED THEM TO TAKE MY OLD PARTS AND PUT THEM IN A BOX SO I CAN EXAMINE THEM AND SEE WHAT I FORKED OUT *10+ FOR. *TR

1. WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 FORD F-150, I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL UP MY DRIVER'S DOOR POWER WINDOW. 2. AS THE WINDOW WAS GOING UP, IT SUDDENLY FELL INTO THE DOOR CAUSING A LOUD BANG. I FEARED THAT I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER CAR GIVEN THE LOUD NOISE. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON TO RAISE THE WINDOW, BUT IT ONLY CAUSED A GRINDING NOISE AND THE WINDOW DID NOT MOVE. THE WINDOW WAS STUCK IN THE DOOR AND COULD NOT BE RAISED. 3. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR ON THE WINDOW HAD GONE OUT. IT IS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $400. FORD SAID THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE APPARENTLY NUMEROUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUFFERED THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2005 MODEL FORD F-150 (SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2005/WINDOWS_WINDSHIELD/POWER_WINDOW_REGULATOR_FAILURE.SHTML). *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 FORD F-150, MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED AND THE TRUCK SITS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. ON JULY 3RD, ME AND MY DAUGHTER (FIVE YEARS OLD) WERE DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THE WNDOW FELL. WHAT IF THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE SHATTERED AND HURT MY CHILD?? THIS WINDOW HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN MAYBE A HAND FULL OF TIMES! THIS WAS BY NO WAY "AN OVER TIME" INCIDENT. FORD IS OPTING TO HAVE CHEAP PARTS PRODUCED, WHILE NEVER THINKING OF THE EFFECTS ON THE DRIVER OR PASSENGARS! READING ON LINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TAKE SOME ACTION AND STAND UP TO THEM! WHAT IF THE GLASS WOULD HAVE SHATTERED AND MY DAUGHTER END UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM OR SOMETHING? THEN THERE'S MORE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES, DUE TO NEGLEGENCE ON FORD'S PART. I'M ALREADY OUT OF POCKET 350.00 DUE TO FORD TRYING TO SAVE THEMSELVES A LITTLE MONEY AND PRODUCING YET AGAIN VERY CHEAP, '!@#$% PARTS!! *TR
