NORMAL DRIVING WITH WINDOWS UP, HEARD LOUD BANG AND WE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT OR THROWN SOMETHING AT OUR PICKUP. THEN I NOTICED DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SLOWLY SLIDING DOWN AND FINALLY FALLING INTO DOOR. PICKUP IS FOR ALL INTENTS UNSAFE. CAN NOT PUT UP WINDOW. I SEE ON OTHER WEBSITES AND THIS ONE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS WITH A SAFETY RECALL. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

POWER WINDOW SWITCH WAS BEING USED TO RAISE WINDOW AND THE GLASS FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL MAKING A LOUD BANG. THE NOISE WAS LOUD AND I BELIEVED THE GLASS HAD BROKEN DUE TO THE NOISE.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN OCTOBER OF 2007 DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE THE RIGHT HAND PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY FELL INTO THE DOOR RENDERING THE WINDOW INOPERABLE. IN DECEMBER OF 2007 THE 2ND FAILURE OF A WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY OCCURRED ON THE RIGHT HAND REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WHILE AGAIN OPERATING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE WINDOW, AGAIN, FELL INTO THE DOOR AND COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. THE 3RD FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY OCCURRED DURING AUGUST OF 2008. THIS TIME THE DRIVER'S WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RETRIEVED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY WAS AT FAULT IN EACH INSTANCE. THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS WERE COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY, THE THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED (37,618 MILES) AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN A FREQUENT PROBLEM SEEN WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY RENDERED INOPERABLE DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, SECURITY, ETC. I AM ANTICIPATING THE FAILURE OF THE REMAINING WINDOW (LEFT HAND PASSENGER) TO OCCUR AT ANY UNKNOWN MOMENT. ALL ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THE PART, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. NO ASSEMBLIES WERE ALLOWED TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO ACTUAL FAILURE OF THE REGULATOR UNLESS I WAS WILLING TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT CHARGES. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH THIS DEFECTIVE REGULATOR AND REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE WITH THE IMPROVED PART. *TR

2005 FORD F-150 5.4 LITER ENGINE; ALL SERVICE WORK WAS PERFORMED AT THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS ON THIS VEHICLE. AT 102,000 MILES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. (FORD RECOMMENDED 100,000 MILE TUNE-UP) THE FIRST THREE SPARK PLUGS ATTEMPTED TO BE REMOVED BY THREE DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS BROKE OFF EVEN WHEN FOLLOWING THE FORD TSB PROCEEDURE. THIS TUNE UP WILL COST ME ALMOST $2,000 DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG DESIGN. FORD WILL NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES MODERATE TO SEVERE SHAKING. THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT A FACTOR. THE SHAKING IS SO SEVERE THAT THE CONTACT HAS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES, BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS WERE CHANGED, BUT THAT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO RAISED AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURRED. WHEN THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SHAKING STOPPED. ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER DISASSEMBLED AND REBUILT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHICH WAS DRAGGING AND WORE OUT THE LINING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 45,000. UPDATED 09/10/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. UPDATED 09/12/08. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F150. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HEADLIGHTS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD DIM. AS A RESULT, THE GAUGES BECAME DIFFICULT TO SEE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A SAFETY FEATURE IN ORDER TO PREVENT GLARE ON THE DRIVER'S EYES AT NIGHT. THE DEALER DID NOTHING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DURING THE FIRST VISIT. DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD VISITS, THE DEALER OFFERED NO REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT AND REFERRED HER TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,382 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000.

2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4 DOOR TRUCK-FAILED POWER WINDOW REGULATOR (FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR). DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG. THE NOISE WAS LOUD AND I COULD NOT BE SURE THAT SOMETHING HAD NOT BEEN THROWN OR SHOT AT MY TRUCK. AS I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FALLING INTO THE DOOR. I TRIED TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP WHILE ALSO TRYING TO CONTROL THE CAR. MY DOG, A 90 LB BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AREA AND WHEN THE WINDOW DROPPED OPEN, HE JUMPED TO PUSH HIS HEAD OUT THE NOW OPEN WINDOW ONLY ADDING MORE TO THE SAFETY AND CONTROL CHALLENGES. THE FAILURE WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE. THE TRUCK IS ONLY USED FOR LIGHT YARD-RELATED WORK AND DOES NOT GO OFF ROAD. THE WINDOWS ARE SELDOM OPERATED AS AIR-CONDITIONING IS TYPICALLY RUNNING IN THE HEAT OF FLORIDA. THIS WAS THE FIRST EVENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT REP INDICATED THE REGULATOR IS A NEW PART IN THE F150 AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE REGULATOR AND INDICATED I SHOULD PASS MY COMPLAINT ON TO FORD. *TR

2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4 DOOR TRUCK-FAILED POWER WINDOW REGULATOR (PASSENGER SIDE DOOR/THIRD REGULATOR FAILURE ON THIS TRUCK, DIFFERENT WINDOW). DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I AND MY WIFE HEAR A LOUD BANG. SHE IS AFRAID AS THE NOISE WAS LOUD AND FOR THE MOMENT WE COULD NOT BE SURE THAT SOMETHING HAD NOT BEEN THROWN OR SHOT AT MY TRUCK. AS I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I REMEMBERED THE OTHER REGULATOR FAILURES AND THEN NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NEXT TO MY WIFE FALLING INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE SO I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT. THE FAILURE WAS ONCE AGAIN A TOTAL SURPRISE. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BE USED ONLY FOR LIGHT YARD-RELATED WORK AND DOES NOT GO OFF ROAD. THE WINDOWS ARE SELDOM OPERATED AS AIR-CONDITIONING IS TYPICALLY RUNNING IN THE HEAT OF FLORIDA. THIS WAS THE THIRD EVENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. FAILURE OF WINDOW REGULATORS AND THE WINDOW FALLING INTO THE DOOR PRESENTS AN EXTREME POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR OCCUPANTS (CHILDREN AND ANIMALS) IN THE CAR, AS WELL AS LOADS BEING LOST OUT THE WINDOW. THE TORRENTIAL RAINS IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA IN THE SUMMER MAKE THESE FAILURES EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC. ONCE AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT REP INDICATED THE REGULATOR IS A NEW PART IN THE F150 AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE SEEN ON THIS VEHICLE. HE ENCOURAGED US TO REPORT IT TO THE COMPANY TO ALERT THEM TO THE POTENTIAL NEED FOR A RECALL. WE DID AND FORD INDICATED RECALLS WERE NHTSA'S CONCERN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE REGULATOR AND INDICATED I SHOULD PASS MY COMPLAINT ON TO FORD. *TR
