AS I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT MY JOB I HEARD MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SLIDE DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW ON MY TRUCK THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN TOO. IM SURE IT WONT BE VERY LONG BEFORE THE BACK TWO WINDOWS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM (WHICH IS THE REGULATOR THAT BREAKS) I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $350.00 PLUS DOLLARS. AS I AM A HARD WORKING PARENT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE TO SPEND MONEY IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES ON A PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT WOULD MAKE IT VERY EASY TO BREAK INTO MY VEHICLE IF THIS PROBLEM WERE TO OCCUR AT NIGHT OR DAMAGE MY VEHICLE IF THIS PROBLEM WERE TO OCCUR IN THE RAIN. I OFTEN PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL AND IF THIS PROBLEM WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE IN THE VEHICLE THE MY BECOME SUBJECT TO THE ELEMENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT AN BECOME SICK OR INJURED. PLEASE HELP US TO GET FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THANKS, SIGNED A CONCERNED AMERICAN *TR

2004 FORD F-150 DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR SUDDENLY FAILED AND WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WAY TO PUT WINDOW BACK UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OF COURSE IT WAS RAINING. AFTER TAKING DOOR APART I WAS ABLE TO GET THE WINDOW 3/4 OF THE WAY UP BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO GO ALL OF THE WAY. 65K MILES ON TRUCK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS I GUESS THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT IT LASTED AS LONG AS IT DID. LOOKS LIKE THAT FORD HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT FAILS AND YOU CAN'T GET OR KEEP WINDOW UP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HEARD A HUGE "POP" LIKE A GUN AND BOTH MY REAR WINDOWS STARTED TO CREEP DOWN SLOWLY.

2004 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILURE WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF EACH OTHER AT 42,000 MILES. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GETS USED A LOT, AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS SELDOM USED. UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PAY $350 PER WINDOW TO REPAIR, SO I'M PUTTING UP WITH MOISTURE/VISIBILITY ISSUES ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WEATHER CHALLENGES, AND DEAFENING BUFFETING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE FORD DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW MOTOR STILL RUNS, THE CABLE SYSTEM USED TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOW GETS IRRETRIEVABLY SUCKED INTO THE MOTOR OR DAMAGED NECESSITATING REPLACING THE ENTIRE MOTOR/REGULATOR UNIT. ALSO, THAT IT MAY BE RIVETED IN PLACE RATHER THAN BOLTED, REQUIRING SPECIAL RIVETING TOOLS TO FACILITATE THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN AND MYSELF DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN, ENDURING DEAFENING BUFFETING, WEATHER EXTREMES, AND ROAD HAZARDS, LET ALONE VISIBILITY ISSUES DUE TO WINDOW FOGGING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN. MY 8 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE WINDOW AND SHE SCREAMED. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS GONE OUT. NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE WINDOW REPAIRED AGAIN!!! I AM TOLD IT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. HAVING ALL WINDOWS IN YOU VEHICLE DROP AT ANY MOMENT AND ANY SPEED IT NOT NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE WINDOW DROPS IT IS LOUD, CAUSES YOU TO OVER CORRECT THINKING YOU HAVE A FLAT OR HIT SOMETHING AND ANY LOOSE PAPERS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE START FLYING AROUND. THANKFULLY WE DIDN'T HAVE A WRECK AND THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I AM HAVING TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. NOTE: THIS IS NOT ON A WINDOW THAT IS OPENED/CLOSED VERY OFTEN. *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN NORMAL USE. I HAVE HAD TWO WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES ON MY TRUCK AND EACH TIME THE WINDOW FALLS INTO THE DOOR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING IN A SEVERE SNOWSTORM AND THE NEXT ON THE HIGHWAY ON A TRIP TO CEDAR POINT. THE TRIP TO CP WAS MORE A SECURITY ISSUE BUT WHEN THE SNOW AND ICE WERE FLYING INTO MY TRUCK IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR
