2004 F-150 SUPERCREW 2WD. PASSENGER WINDOW SLID DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. TRIED TO RAISE IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT WILL NOT RAISE THE WINDOW. THOUGHT IT JUST CAME OFF THE TRACK, BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $250-300 FOR REPAIR. THEN I SAW ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE... SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A GOOD CASE FOR A RECALL TO FIX A SUB-PAR PART. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN I HEARD THIS LOUD BANG NOISE LIKE IF A ROCK HAD HIT MY REAR LEFT WINDOW AND THEN MY WINDOW CAME ROLLING DOWN SLOWLY. I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ESTIMATED A TOTAL COST OF $300 DOLLARS. ONE YEAR BEFORE I HAD THE REGULATOR REPLACED ON MY DRIVERS SIDE BUT AT THAT TIME I WAS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ONLY PAID $100 DEDUCTIBLE. REGULATORS SEEM TO BE A DEFECT OF F150 AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

ON SATURDAY, 3/6/10 MY THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT ON MY FORD F150 XLT QUAD CAB. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN AUGUST OF 2008 AND I HAVE REPLACED 2 REGULATORS SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK, THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. I CONTACTED WITTMEIER FORD WHEN THE FIRST ONE WENT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT IN NOVEMBER 2009 AND I HAD IT FIXED THEN. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD REGULATOR THAT WENT OUT, I WENT TO WITTMEIER FORD TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERING THIS WINDOW EITHER. PLEASE REVIEW THIS WEBSITE FOR OTHER COMPLAINTS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON MON. MARCH 1 OF THIS YEAR I WENT TO MY TRUCK, A 2004 FORD F-150 TO GO TO WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED LATER THAT DAY THAT THE "FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE", WHICH IS MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK, HAD CORRODED AND SHORTED-OUT. THIS MODULE IS DESIGNED TO REGULATE GAS FLOW FROM THE FUEL PUMP AND WHEN IT FAILS, IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE PUMP...NO GAS MEANS NO GO. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT FORD MOTOR CO. DOES NOT HAVE ANY AND THAT THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER UNTIL MAY!! AFTER CALLING 9 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND GETTING THE SAME ANSWER OF "GOOD LUCK IN FINDING ONE AS THERE HAS BEEN A RUN ON THESE IN THE NORTHEAST DUE TO HEAVY SALT USE" IT SEEMS NO-ONE HAS ANY. I KNOW THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY CASE BUT TO TELL CUSTOMERS TO WAIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET THEIR TRUCK BACK IS INSANE. AND IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IT COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I JUST FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PREPARED FOR THIS ...2 MONTH WAIT IS UNHEARD OF. *TR

BOTH REAR WINDOWS IN MY 2004 FORD F150 BROKE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE WINDOWS DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AND THEY KEEP BREAKING. I WAS JUST STING AT A LIGHT THEN HEARD SOMETHING LIKE A ROCK HIT THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK THEN THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED IT WAS THE CABLES THAT HOLD THE WINDOWS UP SNAPPING. I HAVE THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN AND LIVE WHERE THERE ARE EXTREME TEMPS. I CANNOT HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN EXPOSED TO THESE KIND OF ENVIRONMENTS. FORD IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET THESE PARTS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 'ENGINE FUEL CONTROL MODULE' ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 4X4 EXTENDED CAB, 6 3/4FT BED, 5.4L 3V ENGINE 4X4 HAS FAILED DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THE MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK, AND CRACKS WHEN HIT BY PEBBLES THAT ARE INEVITABLY KICKED UP. WATER THEN GETS INTO IT AND IT FAILS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND NOT RUN AT ALL. ONCE THE MECHANIC FOUND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, HE THEN TRIED TO ORDER THE PART. THE MODULE IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, 3 MONTHS I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE IT. THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I PAID OVER $30.000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF A $77 PART THAT I CANNOT GET. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TIME THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT. IF IT IS ON 'NATIONAL BACK ORDER', THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. 3 MONTHS BACK ORDER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IS FORD MOTOR CO GOING TO GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK, THE DOCTORS, ETC WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PART TO COME IN? SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO LOOK INTO THIS AND FIND A SOLUTION. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR
