THE THIRD (OF FOURTH) DIFFERENT WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE RECENTLY RESULTING IN ANOTHER TRIP TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THERE HAVE BEEN A TOTAL OF THREE BROKEN REGULATOR CABLES BREAK WITHIN THE PAST YEAR (LAST TWO WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS). THIS LATEST OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN AN ALERTING DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. THE WINDOW BASICALLY JUST DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS CLOSED POSITION. THIS PARTICULAR WINDOW (BACK PASSENGER SIDE) IS WHERE WE KEEP THE BABY SEAT AND UNFORTUNATELY OUR CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. IN ALL THREE CASES THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE ALTHOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT RESULTING IN UNSAFE SITUATION. VEHICLE IS A 2004 FORD F-150. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR CAUSED THE WINDOWS TO FALL. THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE CHILDREN RIDE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 11,000.

I HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS JUST QUIT CAUSING THE GLASS TO JUST DROP IN MY 2004 FORD 150 LARIAT. MY WARRANTY WAS 23 DAYS OVER AND THE FORD CALL CENTER AS WELL AS CORPORATE OFFICES, (313-845-6173,313-845-5761, 313-845-5831) FLAT OUT TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM THERE WERE NO MORE WARRANTIES. I PAID TO REPAIR 2 OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND FORD DID ASSIST WITH THE SECOND ON 80% OF REPAIR. BUT I HAVE OWNED 5 FORD TRUCKS AND THE ONLY ISSUES WE HAVE HAD IS WITH THE F150. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR THE PAST 5 DAYS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2004 FORD LARIAT F150 SERIES TRUCK WINDOWS. YOU COULD BE DRIVING AND YOUR WINDOW JUST DROPS OUT INTO THE PANEL. ITS NOT SAFE. MY HUSBAND'S COWORKER ,SAID HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING THERE F150 ON THE FREEWAY WITH THEIR SON IN THE BACK AND THE WINDOW DROPPED AND SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A DRIVEBY CAUSE THE WINDOW WAS GONE AND THERE WAS LOUD BANG NOISE OR THUMP. THIS IS NOT SAFE. *TR

THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW ON MY TRUCK WILL NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. IT SLIDES DOWN LITTLE BY LITTLE WHILE I DRIVE AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT BACK UP. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO FALL INTO THE DOOR AND SHATTER. AND IT IS A SECURITY CONCERN SINCE ANYONE CAN SLIDE THE WINDOW DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE AND UNLOCK THE DOOR. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK AND AN EXPENSIVE FIX AS WELL. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING FORD NEEDS TO STEP AND RECALL. *TR

AS I LOWERED THE DRIVER'S-SIDE POWER WINDOW, IT MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE AND THEN AN EVEN LOUDER POP/CRACK WHICH MADE ME THINK THE WINDOW HAD BROKEN. I RAISED THE WINDOW CAUTIOUSLY AND EVEN THOUGH IT CONTINUED TO MAKE NOISES, THE GLASS APPEARED TO BE UNDAMAGED. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER, THE WINDOW SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR OF THE TRUCK. *TR

SHE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO RECALL # 06E056000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT SINCE THE VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED, SHE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND AS I WENT TO ROLL IT UP DUE TO RAIN, I HEARD A LOUD POW INSIDE MY DOOR AND THE WINDOW FELL ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN. AS IT TURNS OUT, MY WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD 2004 F150. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT DO TO WEATHER CONDITIONS, THEFT, CHILDREN SAFETY, PET SAFETY, AND COST OF REPLACEMENT (POSSIBLY 3 MORE TIMES). *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IN MY TRUCK FELL THIS MORNING. I FIXED THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO THIS WEEK. I BROUGHT IT IN LAST YEAR TO FIX THE WINDOW AND THEY CHANGED THE CABLE OR MOTOR NOT REALLY SURE, BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO FIX THE DRIVERS SIDE NOW. SAME PART NEEDS TO BE CHANGED JUST DIFFERENT DOOR. AT $200.00 EACH TIME. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2004 F-150. MAYBE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE PARTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 2009, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IN MY 2004 FORD F-150 PICKUP, FELL INTO THE DOOR. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO BACK UP AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS OCCURRED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS I WAS PASSING A LARGE TRUCK AT THE TIME AND THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN SIDESWIPED. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES THAT I HAVE NOW SEEN. *TR

I HAD BOTH PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS FALL WITHIN A DAY APART FROM EACH OTHER. IT'S THE PART THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW IN PLACE I BELIEVE THEY ARE CALLING IT THE ACTUATORS. THE CABLE IS BREAKING LOSE FROM THIS ASSEMBLY AND CAUSING THE CABLE TO CRINKLE IN THE MOTOR, SO EVERY PART OF THAT WINDOW GETS DESTROYED. NO INCIDENTS THANK GOD, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT! I GUESS SOMEBODY HAS TO DIE FOR FORD TO START A RECALL I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR OF OWNING MY 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 5.4 LTR. TRITON, I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUT OF THE 4 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE NORMAL REPAIRS HOWEVER AS THEY HAVE ALL OCCURRED WITHIN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WERE ALL EXACTLY THE SAME IN NATURE. THE FIRST OCCURRED ON A TRIP FROM COLORADO TO SALINA KS. OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, I THOUGHT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER, WHICH MADE MOST OF THE TRIP COMPLETELY MISERABLE BY THE WAY, HOWEVER WITHIN 6 MONTHS ANOTHER POWER WINDOW FAILURE OCCURRED AND JUST THE OTHER DAY THE THIRD. I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT SO MANY PERSONS HAVE LODGED THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS AND FORD MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE YET THEY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A FORD F150 V8 5.4 TRITAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN IN THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SCARED ME AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY DRIVERS SIDE E WINDOW DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE WINDING ROAD. IT CRASHED DOWN INTO THE DOOR SCARING ME AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT THIS IS PROBLEM MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS ARE HAVING AND NOT JUST A FLUKE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SOMEONE'S DEATH. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS IN OUR FORD F150 EXTENDED CAB HAVE GONE DOWN NEVER TO COME UP AGAIN. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THE OPEN WINDOW WITH NO WAY TO CLOSE IT CERTAINLY PROVIDED FOR POSSIBLE INJURY ESPECIALLY TODAY AS THE THIRD ONE BROKE JUST BEFORE A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM WITH STRONG WINDS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE BEFORE THE BOTTOM FELL OUT. *TR
