2005 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATORS FAILURE....I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOAD POP, I WAS REALLY STARTLED AS I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF SOMEONE HIT ME OR IF SOMEONE SHOT AT ME. ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER I HEARD THIS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. A WEEK LATER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HEAVY RAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. I HAVE THE WINDOWS HELD UP WITH A C-CLAMP INSIDE THE DOORS TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ITEM DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

2005 F-150 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. HAD ONE REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AND ANOTHER FAILED AT 48K MILES. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON TREND AMONGST FORD VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE 2005 MODELS. ALSO APPEARS IN EXPEDITIONS. THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK FOR THEFT, AS WELL AS A DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS. MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS RAINING WHEN THE WINDOW FELL, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE LEFT FRONT POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF RAISING IT BACK TO A SECURE POSITION. THERE WAS NO ADVANCE WARNING, JUST A LOUD POP BEFORE THE WINDOW DESCENDED OUT OF SIGHT. FORTUNATELY FOR ME IT WAS CLEAR AND HOT (100 DEGREES) SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO CONTEND WITH STORMY WEATHER. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ITEMS ON A MOTOR VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE VERY DEPENDABLE, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON, SECURITY. I'M GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. I HAD THE REGULATOR REPLACED AT A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AT A COST OF $290.44. THE OLD PARTS WERE DISCARDED. *TR

HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL. BASED ON MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF FORD F-150 OWNERS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AS THE SOUND IS VERY LOUD AND COULD EASILY DISTRACT A DRIVER. *TR

LEAVING WORK I WENT TO PUT DOWN MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THE WINDOW GLASS FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS FROM MY DESCRIPTION AND ADVISED OF A $90 DIAGNOSIS CHARGE. TWO DAYS LATER AND 400 DOLLARS LESS IN MY POCKET, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY. APPARENTLY FROM ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND THE NHTSA SHOULD ALSO TAKE ACTION AGAINST FORD AND DEMAND A RECALL. *TR
