I DRIVE A 2004 FORD F150 AND I AM NOW ON MY 3RD WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND WE ARE SICK OF PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR A HORRIBLY MADE VEHICLE. IT IS A RISK TO CARRY ANYTHING IN MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT COULD BE STOLEN DUE TO MY WINDOWS FALLING DOWN SPORADICALLY. I THINK A RECALL IS DEFINATELY IN ORDER. *TR

THE WINDOWS ON MY FORD F-150 TRUCK HAVE A FAULTY PART. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE 3 WINDOW REGULATORS WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE LAST TWO BEING LESS THAN A MONTH APART. THE ONLY ANSWER I GET FROM THE DEALER IS THAT WHEN ONE GOES THE REST GO. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE! THIS HAS COST ME OVER $400 EACH TIME. THERE'S A NOISE LIKE A POP AND THEN THE WINDOW ROLLS DOWN BY ITSELF. I CAN'T SECURE MY CAR. I HAVE TO TAKE ALL OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION OUT OF THE TRUCK EACH NIGHT, I.E. INSURANCE CARD, INVOICES FROM REPAIRS, ETC. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD WINDOW IN MY FORD F150 THAT HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR, THE LAST TWO WERE FIXED BY THE REGULATORS BEING REPLACED. I AM GETTING FED UP WITH THIS, I LOOKED ONLINE, AND SO FAR HAVE SEEN WELL OVER 450 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR WINDOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE WINDOW WAS ROLLED UP, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH SOME WIRING THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THE WINDOW FALLING. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN, AND WHEN I WENT TO ROLL IT UP, IT MADE IT ABOUT HALF WAY UP, THEN AGAIN THE LOUD POP, AND THEN THE WINDOW SLOWLY SLID BACK INTO THE DOOR, AGAIN THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND JUST RECENTLY, BARELY A YEAR LATER, THAT SAME RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS TIME I NOTICED IT WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO GET INTO MY TRUCK, THE WINDOW WAS DOWN, AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL UP, THE MOTOR JUST SPINS FREELY. NOW I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO SPEND ANOTHER $300 OR SO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE FROM THE FREQUENCY AND NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED THAT THIS SHOULD BE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

MAY 20009 FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW HAD LOUD "POP" NOISE WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN INTO DOOR AND BECAME INOPERABLE. 2 WEEKS LATER THE REAR RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW HAD A "POP" NOISE BUT THIS TIME ONLY SLID DOWN INTO DOOR. WINDOW IS INOPERABLE. JUNE 2009, TRUCK WAS BROKEN INTO FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE LOCK, & SOMEHOW THE REAR LEFT WINDOW POPPED & SLID DOWN ON THE WAY HOME AFTER FILING THE POLICE REPORT. UNSURE IF THE LAST WINDOW ISSUE IS RELATED BUT WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW WAS REPAIRED 2 YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIP WORKER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A DEFECT FORD HAS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. THE REPAIR WORK WAS NOT PERFORMED AT THAT TIME. FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. HE BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, IN WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,900.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2004 F150 4.6LTR ENGINE. SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT #3 CYLINDER 64865 MILES. ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS. SPOKE DIRECTLY TO FORD MOTORS THEY ACT AS IF THIS IS MY FAULT. THE PARTS HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED. FORD TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY BECAUSE THIS IS A MAINTANENCE PART. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM FOR FORD. BUT THEY WONT HONOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MECHANICAL FAILURE DUE TO BAD DESIGN. IT COST 600.00 TO FIX AND I BELEIVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY FORD DUE TO THE NUMBER OF INSTENCES. THERE WERE TWO TRUCKS FIXED THE SAME DAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND AGAIN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE RESOLVED. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRIE ABOUT A SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE FUEL KEEPS FLOWING INTO THE CYLINDER AND WHEN IGNIGHTS FLAMES FLY OUT THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG HOLE. QUIT ACTING LIKE TH IS IS NOT A PROBLEM AND RECALL THESE POOR DESINGED PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ON JUNE 29, 2009 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY CITY STREET THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING APPEARED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THERE WAS NO NOISE OR ANY INDICATION OF THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT HAD OCCURRED. THE ENGINE REVVED WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAR TRAFFIC LANES AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED DOWN INTO SECOND GEAR AS I SLOWED TO SEE IF THIS HAD ANY EFFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED AND I PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS IN STANDARD OPERATING RANGE. I THEN DISENGAGED THE OVERDRIVE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE FOUND THE OVERDRIVE CLUTCH PACK FAILED. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, DOES NOT TOW ANYTHING AND IS DRIVEN TO AND FROM WORK, 30 MILES EACH WAY. THE REPAIR IS $2500.00 FOR A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 69,700 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS STANDARD EQUIPMENT FROM FORD WAS NOT DESIGNED TO PERFORM AT AN ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE LEVEL AS EXPECTED FROM A CONSUMER. THE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASE NEW FORD VEHICLES SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT THE PRODUCT TO LAST LONGER THAN THE PAYMENTS ONE MAKES ON THE NEW VEHICLE! *TR

SEAT BELTS:INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT
THIS IS REGARDING OUR REAR SEATBELTS FAILING ON OUR 2004 FORD F-150 1. MY WIFE PUTTING OUR CAR SEATS BACK IN THE TRUCK 2. TWO SEATBELTS FELL APART, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH A NUT HOLDING THEM CAME LOOSE 3. FORD WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER ANY WARRANTY SINCE I'M OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY TIME. IN MY MIND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR A LIFETIME WARRANTY. BOTH OF THESE SEATBELTS WERE CONNECTED TO 2 OF OUR BABY SEATS; AT ANY TIME WE COULD HAVE SIMPLY HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY BOTH WOULD HAVE COME LOOSE. I'M SURPRISED THEY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT OCCURS TO MAKE IT A RECALL. *TR
