WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD, METALLIC-SOUNDING POP FROM ONE OF MY DOORS, FOLLOWED BY THE WINDOW SLIDING DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE WINDOW WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PERFORMING THE REPAIR HAS QUOTED THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AS BEING THE PROBLEM, AND QUOTED $450 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 2009, I WAS PUTTING MY SON IN MY TRUCK TO HEAD OFF TO WORK. AS WE PULLED AWAY, HE STARTED SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WINDOW. I LOOKED BACK AND THE WINDOW NEXT TO HIM WAS DOWN ABOUT 3 INCHES. BY THE TIME WE GOT TO HIS DAYCARE, THE WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAD TO GO BACK HOME, PULL THE WINDOW UP AND JAM IT INTO PLACE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE IT IN UNTIL MONDAY. THIS IS AT LEAST THE 5TH TIME A WINDOW HAS FALLEN ON THIS TRUCK IN THREE YEARS AND I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW MOTOR REPLACED TWICE. THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN UNDER EITHER FACTORY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THIS ONE WILL NOT BE. FORTUNATELY NONE OF THEM HAVE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING LIKE OTHER DRIVERS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS WEBSITE. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN BEFORE THE AGENCY TAKES ACTION? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM AS WELL AS AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOWN & IT CRASHED DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH THE GLASS SHATTERING AS IT DROPPED INTO THE DOOR FRAME. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW LOOKED AT IT SOUNDED STRANGE ON OPERATION. FORD DEALERS DISAGREED. ONE MONTH LATER THE WINDOW FAILED TO OPERATE & FORD FIXED THE WINDOW AT THEIR COST. I ALSO HAD THEM CHECK ALL OF THE OTHER WINDOWS BECAUSE THEY TOO DID NOT SOUND CORRECT WHEN OPERATING AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG AT THAT TIME. I AM NOW WITHOUT A WINDOW & WILL CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM & HOPE THEY WILL FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE AS I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY FOR A TRUCK THAT IS ONLY 5 YRS OLD. *TR

EQUIPMENT
WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 F150 IN SEPT/OCT OF '04. SHORTLY AFTER OUR MILEAGE WARRANTY EXPIRED (36,000) MILES OUR WINDOW ASSEMBLY REGULATOR BROKE AND WE HAD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED. A SHORT TIME LATER OUR SECOND WINDOW ASSEMBLY REGULATOR BROKE AND THEY ONLY ASKED US TO PAY 20% OF THE REPAIR BILL EQUALING $55. 9 MONTHS LATER OUR THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY BROKE. WHEN THESE WINDOWS REGULATORS BREAK IT IS DURING RANDOM TIMES AND WHILE DRIVING. NO ONE IS ROLLING THE WINDOWS DOWN THEY JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN FALL DOWN. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND I HAD MY 12 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER SITTING NEXT TO THE WINDOW THAT BROKE AND SHE HAD HER HAND ON THE DOOR NEXT TO THE WINDOW. SHE ONLY HAD A SMALL RED MARK ON HER FINGER HOWEVER SHE WAS CRYING HYSTERICALLY BECAUSE IT SCARED HER. WHILE LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAKING ON THESE TRUCKS. WHEN WE CALLED TO GET THE TRUCK REPAIRED THE HAD THE PART IN STOCK AND WITHIN US MAKING A DECISION OF WHEN TO BRING THE TRUCK IN AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER THE PART WAS ALREADY USED. THE REPAIR TECH SAID THAT IT IS THEIR MOST COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF MY DAUGHTERS HAND HAD BEEN ANY CLOSER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY PINCHED. WHAT IF THE WINDOW WERE TO SHATTER WHILE GOING DOWN ON THE FREEWAY AT THOSE SPEEDS? FORD IS UNWILLING TO REPAIR OUR FOURTH WINDOW AND WE FEAR IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT BREAKS AS WELL. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON A 2004 FORD F150 HAVE ALL FAILED WITHIN A 4 MONTH PERIOD OF 2009. TWO OF THE WINDOWS WERE ALMOST NEVER USED BUT THE FAILED FIRST. COST TO HAVE THE DEALER REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS AROUND $400 EACH. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WINDOW COULD FAIL AT ANYTIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE REGULATOR, BUT THERE WAS NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AS WELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE WINDOW FOR HER YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN TO SEE WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE REGULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE DEALER TO CHECK IF IT QUALIFIES FOR AFTER WARRANTY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIR COST. SHE FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN THE WINDOWS FELL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 9/17/09 * CN UPDATED 09/21/09*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY OVERDRIVE GEAR GOT WIPED OUT. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK I GOT UP TO 30 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP REAL BAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS NOT BEATEN ON AT ALL. JUST ONE MONTH PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY OR EXTEND IT. FROM WHAT I AM READING THIS HAPPENS A LOT TO THE 2004S. THE NEXT VEHICLE WON'T BE A FORD.. I SUGGEST THAT NO ONE BUYS A FORD TRUCK AS THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY FATHERS 2006 HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT AT 55000 MILES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO. *TR

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN I DON'T GUESS, UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD IS BY THE WINDOW. I HAVE A 2004 F150 SUPERCREW THE WINDOW JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL AND WOULD NOT RAISE BACK UP. AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALER WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BY OVER THE PHONE DESCRIPTION SAID IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE, I HAVE READ CLOSE TO 200 POST ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SHAME THAT FORD IS ALLOWED TO PUT DEFECTIVE PARTS ON THESE VEHICLES.THESE REGULATORS COST $370.00 TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S ONE DOOR. ACCORDING TO OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM USUALLY THE OTHER 3 WINDOW REGULATORS WILL BREAK WITHIN A YEAR AFTER THE FIRST. PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL AND FIX THERE DEFECTS! *TR

2004 FORD F150 - REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY CREWCAB TRUCK MADE A LOUD NOISE AND WENT DOWN. IT WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP AND I WENT TO A WEBSITE TO SEE IF I COULD FIX IT AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH MULTIPLE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND DESCRIPTIONS. THERE APPEARS TO BE MULTIPLE FAILURES FROM THESE WINDOWS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F140 SUPERCREW 4X4. LAST WEEK I HEARD A POP COME FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR AND NOT A MINUTE LATER MY WINDOW FELL DOWN IN THE DOOR. TWO DAYS LATER I HEARD THE SAME POP COME FROM MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR. TWO REGULATORS POPPED WITH IN THREE DAYS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THEM RIGHT NOW SO I'M RIDING AROUND WITH VISE GRIPS HOLDING MY WINDOWS UP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THE SECOND FORD PICKUP THAT I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
