2004 Ford F-150 complaints

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. I HAD TWO WINDOW FAILURES IN THE SAME DAY, AND HAD ONE FIXED THIS PAST JULY 2010. THIS IS THREE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES IN A MATTER OF 3 MONTHS. ACCORDING TO THE WEB THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT TO FORD TRUCKS AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL DUE TO THE REGULATOR FAILURES! *TR

POWER WINDOWS BREAKING. DRIVER WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP AND WINDOW FELL INSIDE DOOR. 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON PASSENGER SIDE AFTER WINDOW STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. THE TWO REAR WINDOWS ARE NOW MAKING THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET BECAUSE IT COST TO MUCH TO FIX. *TR

I TOOK MY 2004 F-150 TO KERRY FORD LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SPRINGDALE BECAUSE OF A WINDOW PROBLEM I HAD. THE SERVICE DESK ASKED ME IF I WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE SPARK PLUGS FOR MY YEAR TRUCK. I TOLD HIM NO, I WASN'T. THE FORD EMPLOYEE STATED THAT SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS AT 89,000, HE STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED BEFORE I GET ANY CLOSER TO 100,000 MILES. THE EMPLOYEE STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS ARE GETTING STUCK IN THE ENGINE OR BREAKING OFF WHILE BEING REPLACED. I WAS TOLD FOR A TUNE UP, IT WOULD BE ROUGHLY $300.00 PLUS AN EXTRA $89.00 FOR EACH SPARK PLUG THAT BREAKS. THE EMPLOYEE STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUG WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH THREADS. THE EMPLOYEE STATED THAT FORD HAS ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. THE EMPLOYEE INSTRUCTED ME TO GOGGLE, FORD F 150 SPARK PLUG TO VERIFY THAT HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH. I ASKED THAT YOU DO THE SAME! PEOPLE HAVE SPENT ANY WHERE FROM $300.00-$4500.00 FOR FORDS POOR DESIGN. FORD HAS EVEN DESIGNED A SPECIAL TOOL TO TRY AN ASSIST IN GETTING OUT THE SPARK PLUGS WITHOUT BREAKING THEM. SOME DRIVERS HAVE HAD THEIR SPARK PLUG LITERALLY POP OUT OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. I DID TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE MATERIAL ON THE INTERNET. I NOW HAVE THE DISTINCTION OF THE WORST HORROR STORY AT KERRY FORD. I WAS TOLD PRIOR TO HAVING MY TRUCK WORKED ON, THAT THEIR TECH HAS HAD DECENT LUCK GETTING THE SPARK PLUGS OUT. KERRY FORD HAD BROKEN MAYBE TWO SPARK PLUGS AT THE MOST. I DRO

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS OF 2004 FORD 150 SUPER CAB. A TOTAL OF 3 FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS (2 DRIVER SIDE AND 1 PASSENGER SIDE). THE TWO MOST RECENT FAILURES OCCURRED THIS MONTH WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. THE WINDOW FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND FALLS DOWN INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM IF THE FAILURE OCCURS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE WINDOW STAY UP, THE DOOR HAS TO BE DISASSEMBLED AND SOMETHING PLACED IN THE DOOR TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP UNTIL PARTS CAN BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED. I HAVE USED A 2 X 4 AND ZIP TIES AS A TEMPORARY FIX TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP INSIDE THE DOOR UNTIL PARTS ARE OBTAINED AND THE REPAIRS MADE. MY TEMPORARY FIX KEEPS THE WINDOW UP, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. BUT HAVING THE WINDOW STUCK IN THE UP POSITION IS MUCH BETTER THAN LEAVING THE WINDOW DOWN AND RISKING DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR FROM WEATHER OR THEFT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F150 WITH 5.4L V8 ENGINE. MILEAGE IS 104000. HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS BROKE OFF RESULTING IN A VERY HIGH COST TO ME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND COST IS BEING PAST ON TO CONSUMER. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. CAUSED ME TO BE DISTRACTED - ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING HAD HIT ME. THIS IS ALSO 2ND WINDOW TO FAIL LIKE THIS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL.

2004 FORD F150 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAIL 5 TIMES! WINDOW FALLS DOWN INSIDE OF DOOR IT HAPPENED ONCE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN POURING DOWN RAIN! *TR

NO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS LEAD UP TO.... 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOWS ON MY 2004 FORD F150 FX4 HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OUT OF THE BLUE THEY COME CRASHING DOWN. I HAVE SPENT ABOUT 700 DOLLARS SO FAR ON THIS DEFECT AND HAVE TO GO IN TOMORROW TO GET MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FIXED WHICH WILL PUT ME OVER 1000. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE WINDOW REGULATORS AND I SHOULD GET EVERY PENNY I HAVE SPENT ON THESE PATHETIC DEVICES BACK. COME ON FORD, REALLY? I FEEL LIKE I AND EVERYBODY ELSE IN THIS SAME SITUATION HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF FOR FORD TO MAKE AN EXTRA BUCK. WHO IS GOING TO BE THE ONE TO RAISE THE [XXX] FLAGGED AND TAKE FORD TO THE BANK ON THIS ONE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEAR A LOUD BANG FROM MY DRIVERS DOOR. I THOUGHT SOMEBODY HAD HIT ME OR THREW SOMETHING AT MY VEHICLE. I LOST FOCUS OF MY DRIVING TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AROUND ME. THEN MY DRIVERS WINDOW DROPPED AND THIS SCARED ME AND CAUSE ME TO SWERVE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY VEHICLE ARE FAILING ALL THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED A MONTH AGO AND I NOW HAVE THREE OF MY FOUR WINDOWS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY DOORS APART AND PERMANENTLY FIX MY WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATORS. NOW WITH MY WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION I HOPE I DON'T NEED TO GET OUT OR THEM FOR ANY UNFORESEEN INCIDENT. *TR

MY FORD F150 2004 POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOT ONLY DID IT SCARE ME BECAUSE OF SLAMMING DOWN SO HARD, IT MADE ME SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. THANK GOD I GOT SAFELY OVER, BUT WAS SO SHAKEN I HAD TO WAIT BEFORE PROCEEDING. IT WAS L09 DEGREES THAT DAY AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW BROKEN AND DOWN. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO ALL CONSUMERS WHO OWN OR GOING TO OWN THIS AUTO. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT NOW, THEY WANT NEARLY 400.00. I AM SO AFRAID MY TRUCK IS GOING TO GET STOLEN, BUT WHAT CAN I DO? I ALSO WORRY THAT WHEN I PARK MY TRUCK IN A PUBLIC PARKING AREA, THAT SOMEONE MAY EASILY TAKE MY TRUCK WITH ME IN IT!!!!!!!!! *TR

I CAME OUTSIDE TO FIND THAT MY PASSENGER SINE WINDOW WAS DOWN. I WENT TO TRY TO ROLL IT UP AND ALL I HEARD WAS THE WINDOW MOTOR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLD THE WINDOW REGULATOR CABLE HAD BROKE. I AM LUCKY THAT NOBODY HAD STOLEN MY BELONGINGS. AND WHAT IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE WINDOW WERE TO FALL INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT? AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150 TRUCK. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW INDEPENDENTLY OPENED. THE WINDOW WOULD NOT CLOSE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE REGULATOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A THIRD REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

3 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON MY F-150 SUPER CAB FORD LARIAT TRUCK...DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WHAM THE WINDOW DROPS DOWN IN THE DOOR. HAPPENED IN 2007, 2009, 2010. $350 EACH TIME TO GET FIXED. I'M SURE A MAJOR THOROUGH INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE WINDOW REGULATOR ISSUE WITH FORD WOULD TURN UP 1000'S UPON 1000'S OF INCIDENTS AND REPLACEMENTS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM. WHILE I BLAME FORD CORP, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALER SAYING IT'S NOT A FORD PROBLEM AND THAT FORD HAS TO USE THE COMPANY IN MEXICO THEY USE TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS PER THE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW CAME DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP, I TOOK OFF THE TRIM COVERS AND WAS BRAIDED WIRE ALL OVER THE PLACE, I ORDERED A REGULATOR TO INSTALL BUT AFTER ANOTHER 2 DAYS THE REAR PASSENGER WIDOW DID THEY EXACT SAME THING.......I AM STILL WAITING ON PART FOR THE FIRST WINDOW BUT SEEMS INSANE THAT THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN ON ANOTHER WINDOW JUST 2 DAYS APART THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SOMETHING GETS STOLEN BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 F150 ON THE HIGHWAY. AT SPEED THERE WAS A VERY LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR (I FOUND OUT LATER). I HAD THOUGHT IT SHATTERED. STARTLED, I SWERVED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. LATER I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR, COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILURE ITEMS ON THE 2004. F150. THIS IS A HAZARD AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT. THEY SHOULD OWN UP AND FIX IT. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 4.6L V8 REGULAR PICKUP TRUCK, 39,000 MILES ON ODOMETER - DRIVING 50 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTS VIBRATING HORRIBLY LIKE DRIVING OVER A WASHBOARD ROAD. NOTHING WILL CAUSE THE VIBRATION TO STOP, EVEN THROWING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. MUST STOP COMPLETELY, AND SOMETIMES PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE FOR A MOMENT, THEN PUT IT BACK INTO FORWARD DRIVE, TO MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY, ABOUT ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. SEARCH ON GOOGLE REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME THING WITH THEIR 2004 F-150 TRUCKS. MOST CLAIM IT IS AN EXPENSIVE DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM, AND CAUSED BY SOME TOOLING ERROR AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT. FORD HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL, AND THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2010, AND I NOW HAVE 43,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. IT'S USED FOR GETTING GROCERIES. NO HEAVY USE, EVER. ALSO, THE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2004 FORD F-150 OWNERS SAID THEIR TRUCKS ONLY HAD 35,000 TO 45,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN THE PROBLEM SURFACED. *TR

2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR BROKEN. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2004 F-150 BROKE - LUCKILY IT OCCURRED WHEN THE WINDOW WAS ALREADY DOWN (NOT CLOSED). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE 2004 MODELS, YET NO RECALLS? I HAVE KIDS AND AM AFRAID SOMETHING BAD CAN HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE IF THIS HAZARD IS INDEED RECURRING. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW IN MY 2004 F-150 LARIAT FELL OFF THE TRACK AND INTO THE DOOR. I AM UNABLE TO ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE LAST YEAR. WHEN THE REGULATOR BREAKS, A LOUD POP OCCURS. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY HAZZARD. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F150, THREE OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POOR DESIGN FROM FORD. THE FRONT TWO WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, & THE RIGHT REAR WHICH WAS REPLACED LAST MONTH 08/2010 I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. READING ALL OF THE PRIOR COMPLAINS, I HAD SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE WINDOWS JUST SIMPLY FALL DOWN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. ONE OF THE INCIDENTS MY FAMILY & I WERE ON THE FREEWAY & WHEN ONE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT IT CAUSED A LOUD SOUND, WE ACTUALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT US. SOON AFTER THE SOUND OF THE WIND NOT CIRCULATING PROPERLY WAS MAKING OUR EARS HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD!! *TR

3RD POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE IN 1.5 YRS ON 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW TRUCK. WHEN REGULATOR FAILS, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH SOMEONE STRUCK OR SHOT THE WINDOW CAUSING ME TO JUMP AND TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND IF ANY PASSENGERS WERE INJURED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH AN ON-COMING VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE REGULATORS REPLACED BY A LOCAL PAINT AND BODY SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE REGULATORS. MY COST TO DATE HAS BEEN IN EXCESS OF $350 AND I NOW HAVE TWO SUCTION CUPS HOLDING ONE WINDOW UP UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE PASSENGER WINDOW ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 FELL INTO THE DOOR. *TR

2004 FORD F150 DRIVERS WINDOW FELL IN, IT WAS POURING RAIN. VERY UPSET. I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

WHILE ON A 700 MILE TRIP, DRIVING AT NIGHT IN HEAVY RAIN, I HEARD A LOUD POP ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS, BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. AFTER STOPPING AT A GAS STATION AND CLOSING MY DOOR, THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR'S PULLEY HAD BROKE CAUSING THE METAL WIRE TO SNAP OUT AND THE WINDOW FALL DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD TOOLS WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY HOLD THE WINDOW IN PLACE WITH A PAIR OF VISE-GRIPS UNTIL I COULD GET HOME AND REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR TRACK. MY CONCERN IS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD MY WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE HEAVY RAIN. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DISTRACTED CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A COLLISION. *TR

2004 FORD F150 CREW CAB FRONT WINDOW FELL IN DOOR ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY WIFE AND SON WERE IN THE TRUCK DURING RAIN STORM .THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD TO FIX THE WINDOWS ON THIS TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. THE GARAGE ON THE HOUSE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS WELL AS HER COMMUTER CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AND THEY FILED A CLAIM 1496812899. THERE WAS A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06E056000 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE BUT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,603.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150 . WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP NOISE AND FELL DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN THE THIRD TIME THAT THE CONTACT HAS REPLACED WINDOWS ON THE VEHICLE DUE TO THEM FALLING . THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED AND THE WINDOW HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73000.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK ON LOCAL ROADS, THE PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED WINDOW WHICH WAS FULLY UP SUDDENLY SLOWLY RECEDED DOWN INTO THE DOOR OF THE TRUCK AND NOW CANNOT BE RAISED BACK UP. THE WINDOW IS NOT BROKEN, AND THE NOISE WHEN I PRESS THE WINDOW CONTROL SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS (AND THE DEALER), AND THE CONCLUSION SO FAR (HEARING THE DESCRIPTION BUT WITHOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE) IS THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES...MULTIPLE TIMES..SEVERAL MONTHS APART. THE WINDOW COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IS TOTALLY OPEN. I HAVE DOGS THAT RIDE WITH ME. THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED BY FORD. *TR

2004 FORD F-150. SO FAR 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS A SECURITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. TWICE THE WINDOWS FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR WINDOW FAILED WHILE MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND I HAD TO CONTINUE TRAVEL WHILE WIND WAS BLOWING ON HER. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW JUST FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND STARTLED ME ENOUGH THAT I ALMOST WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITS THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE THEY HAVE TO DO THIS REPAIR SO OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE AN 2004 FORD F150 AND OVER THE APPROXIMATELY PAST 21 MONTHS I HAVE HAD FIRSTLY THE DRIVERS WINDOW CAME DOWN ON ITS OWN, (I HAVE A CREW CAB WITH 4 DOORS) THEN THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND THIS WEEK THE LEFT REAR CAME DOWN ON IT'S OWN, (HAVEN'T GOT THIS ONE FIXED YET) DOING SO THIS OR NEXT WEEK. THE REPAIR COST ME $330 APPROXIMATELY $90 LABOR AND $200 PLUS FOR THE PART, I GET NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR RELIEF OVER THE COST FROM THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY YET. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT. EACH TIME, THE WINDOW WAS UP, I HEARD A CLICK AND DOWN IT CAME... I WAS NOT LOWERING THE WINDOWS. I HAVEN'T LOWERED ANY EXCEPT THE REPAIRED DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SINCE ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE RIGHT REAR CAME DOWN.. I ONLY OPEN THE LEFT FRONT (DRIVERS) AND THIS INCLUDES THE MOON ROOF, I DON'T OPEN THAT EITHER FOR FEAR IT WILL BREAK. THE IRONIC THING IS ALL 3 CAME DOWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BUTTONS TO LOWER OR RAISE THEM. I SEE BELOW THERE IS SPACE FOR ONLY 1 ENTRY FOR "APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE" SO I WILL USE THE FIRST ONE. TWO OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE COMING OR GOING TO MY DOCTOR FOR CHEMOTHERAPY. I HAVE CANCER. *TR

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I DON'T EVEN USE THE WINDOW MUCH. PULLED OFF DOOR COVER AND FOUND CABLE APART AND WOUND AND TANGLED BEHIND MOTOR. CALLED MY BUDDY TO SEE IF HE HAD IT HAPPEN TO HIS AND BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING HE SAID HE JUST CAME IN FROM CRAMMING A BOARD IN HIS REAR WIDOW MAKE IT HOME. THEY SEEM TO BE REALLY POORLY MADE. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 FRONTALLY IMPACTED A TREE; PASSENGER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED; DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPDATED 09/16-10 *BF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT ON FIRE. (LAWYER ON BEHALF OF INJURED CLIENT) UPDATED IVOQ 10/13/10 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 62 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A SLIGHT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE SPARK PLUGS DETACHED FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $600. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERN OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 THAT DIES, STALLS, OR SURGES AT STOP LIGHT OR AT LOW SPEED. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T SEND ANY ERROR CODES TO THE COMPUTER. THE PICKUP WILL JUST DIE DURING WHILE TURNING OR STOPPING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT CORRECTED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS DUE TO DYING DURING TURNING. *TR

IN 2008 I PURCHASED A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT( 4 DOOR). IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR ( 2010) THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FAILED, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR FAILED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME RESULT. TODAY, SEPT 7, THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I FIND THE FAILURE OF THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM TO BE FAIRLY COMMON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS AN UNEXPECTED LOWERING OF THE WINDOW CAN CAUSE ITEMS INSIDE THE TRUCK TO FLY AROUND INSIDE THE CAB AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD HAS HAD AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF THIS FAILURES AND SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS AT THEIR COST IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DROPED, AT THAT TIME MY GRANDSON (3) TAUGHT IT WOULD BE OK TO THROW HIS SOCKER BALL OUT. THE BALL BOUNCED OF A CAR BEHIND ME BUT NO DAMAGE BUT SCARED THE DRIVER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, WINDOWS SHOULD NOT DROP LIKE THAT GOOD THING WEATHER WAS GOOD, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF IT HAD BEEN RAINING THE OTHER CAR WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND I WOULD BE GETTING SEUD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS FIXING BY FORD BECAUSE IS NOT AN ISOLETED PROBLEM THOUSANDS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WINDOW NOT FIXED YET STILL RESEARCHING FOR PARTS. *TR

REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW (SUPERCREW F150) FELL INTO DOOR AFTER WINDOW REGULATOR CABLE SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THE WINDOW MOTOR WAS NOT BEING OPERATED AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY WIFE HEARD A POP THEN ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER THE PASSENGER WINDOW JUST DROPS DOWN INTO THE DOOR CAVITY. FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET THAT IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FORD PICKUP WINDOW REGULATOR MECHANISM THAT IS DEFECTIVE. TOOK VEHICLE INTO A WINDOW REPAIR SHOP AND HE DIAGNOSED IT NEEDING A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT INSTALLED. HE PATCHED US UP TO GET US HOME FOR NOW, ITS A HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND SO NO POSSIBILITY OF GETTING THE PART FAST AND WE ARE AWAY FROM HOME VISITING RELATIVES. *TR

I HAVE JUST HAD MY SECOND INCIDENCE OF A WINDOW REGULATOR SNAPPING IN MY 2004 FORD F150. I WAS JUST ROLLING MY ELECTRIC WINDOW UP AS I WAS GETTING MY TRUCK WASHED TODAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2010, AND A HORRENDOUS POP WAS HEARD BY ME AND BYSTANDERS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND THE WINDOW THEN SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. I HAVE BARELY OVER 70,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW, AND THE FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED AT 64,273. THE FIRST FIX COST ME $337.66 FOR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, AND TODAY'S FAILURE HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER REAR. THAT'S TWICE IN 6000 MILES. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE MY OTHER VEHICLE TO AS I MY VEHICLE IS NOW UNSECURE SINCE THE WINDOW CANNOT BE CLOSED. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CABLE SNAPPING, AND THE SAME SCARY SOUND HAPPENED TODAY SO I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THE SAME PART FAILURE OCCURRED TODAY. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE NOR THE ISSUE WHICH HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS F150 OWNERS TO LOSE OUT ON WAGES LOST TO HOURS MISSED AT WORK AND MONEY PAID TO HAVE THEIR EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BACK IN OPERATING ORDER. FORD HAS OFFERED TO LET ME BUY A NEW PART, AT MY EXPENSE, AND PAY THEM OVER $200 LABOR TO REPLACE. *TR

WHILE RAISING THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW OF MY 2004 FORD F150 TRUCK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE RAISED. FROM THE STAND POINT OF SAFETY, THE WIND NOISE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CREATES A DISTRACTION AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE IS THE REAL POTENTIAL FOR THE DRIVER TO BE STARTLED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FROM A PHYSICAL SECURITY STAND POINT, PASSENGERS, PETS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY ARE ALL AT RISK IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SECURED. THE ONLY PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH POWER WINDOWS IN THIS VEHICLE WERE WITH THE REAR WINDOW. *TR

2004 FORD F150 LARIAT 4DOOR. RIGHT REAR POWER WINDOW. THIRD TIME POWER WINDOW HAS FAILED. EACH TIME MY FAMILY WAS ON A ROAD TRIP AND THE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THANKFULLY NOTHING WAS BROKEN. HOWEVER WEATHER WAS RAINING AND THE AMOUNT OF RAIN ENTERING THE VEHICLE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN IN OUR FORD F150. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR

2004 F150 4DR DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. ALL THREE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DOOR IN THE PAST 3 YEAR. FORD DEALERSHIP QUOTED US EACH WINDOW WOULD COST $500 PER DOOR. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE PLACE A BAR IN THE WINDOW TO KEEP THEM CLOSED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE OF THE WINDOWS FELL OFF TRACK AND WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE FIRST WINDOW FELL IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, THE SECOND ONE FELL IN FEBRUARY 2010, AND THE MOST RECENT ONE FELL IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT USED A STICK TO HOLD THE WINDOWS UP. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
