ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2004 150 FORD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 25000 MILES AND THAT IS GUESSING SINCE THE DASH DOES NOT WORK. ALSO THE WINDOW HAS FALLEN OUT AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. HAVE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS COME IN ON THIS MODEL. FORD SAYS THEY HAVE NO DASH AND WINDOW PROBLEMS IN THEIR TRUCK. WE WILL BE OUT AT LEAST 1200.00 DOLLARS ON REPAIRS ON A TRUCK WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH IN A 65MPH ZONE WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO PRIOR WARNING OR INDICATION OF MALFUNCTION IT HAPPENED. NO CRASH BUT EMERGENCY STOP DID HAVE TO HAPPEN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTUATOR FROZE UP ON THE REAR RIGHT SIDE OF MY F150 2004 SUPERCREW WITH ONLY 46,000 MILES ON THE ODO. THIS FREEZE UP CAUSED THE REAR BRAKE TO ENGAGE INVOLUNTARILY AND DESTROYED THE ACTUATOR, THE BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTOR. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOWS ON THE 2004 FORD F150 WILL RANDOMLY FALL DOWN DUE TO A WINDOW REGULATOR ISSUE. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS ROAD DEBRIS COULD STRIKE THE DRIVER THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW. THE ISSUE IS ON ALL WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT REQUIRE THE ENTIRE WINDOW REGULATOR BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY $350 PER WINDOW. *TR
