2004 Ford F-150 complaints

WE OWN A FORD F150 LARIAT SUPER CREW 4 DOOR. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW'S MOTOR POPPED AND MADE ALMOST A GUN SHOT SOUND THAT ALARMED MY HUSBAND AND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS RAINING. THIS WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF 2009. WELL JULY 6, 2010 THE PASSENGER'S WINDOW DID THE SAME THING AND IT WAS RAINING AGAIN. THIS TIME MY HUSBAND WAS PARKED. MANY OF OUR FRIENDS THAT OWN THIS FORD F150 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WANT FORD TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAULTY CHEAP MOTOR AND REPLACE ALL OF THEM. WE HAVE 4 DOORS. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED 1 AND ABOUT TO FIX THE 2ND DOOR. ALONG WITH THE WINDOW MOTOR FAILING THE ROTORS ON THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE. FORD REPLACED THEM ONCE BUT STATED THAT IN THE FUTURE WE WILL HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. THIS IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. FORD SUCKS AND WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD ANYTHING. INFACT NEVER BUY ANOTHER AMERICAN CAR. THE IMPORTS LAST LONGER AND STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES. THIS EXPLAINS WHY THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. WE WANT FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU. *TR

IN 2009, MY 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCKS REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR JUST AS I RETURNED HOME WITH BOTH OF MY TODDLER CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE BACK SEAT. THE GLASS DID NOT BREAK, BUT IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTERS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND WHERE I ALSO HAVE THE TRUCK SERVICED AND I WAS CHARGED $400 FOR THE WINDOW TO BE REPAIRED. JUST THIS MONTH (JUNE 2010), MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE I WAS AT WORK. LUCKILY, NOTHING WAS STOLEN FROM THE TRUCK AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THEY AGAIN TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ANOTHER $400 TO REPAIR IT. I COMPLAINED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES SINCE I FIRST GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE 20 YEARS AGO AND I AM VERY UPSET BY THE WAY FORD HAS TREATED IT'S CUSTOMERS. I JUST HOPE THAT THE NEXT TWO WINDOWS THAT HAVE NOT FALLEN YET WILL NOT INJURE ME, MY WIFE OR MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY DECIDE TO FALL. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2004 FORD CREW CAB, I NOW HAVE HAD ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL ON MY TRUCK. EACH TIME $350.00 DOLLARS. COMING HOME FROM A TRIP WITH 2 CO-WORKERS A BACK WINDOW FELL IN MY TRUCK AND I HAD TO DROP OFF MY CO-WORKERS AND DRIVE HOME BY MYSELF AT MIDNIGHT. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR ALL OF US. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO PUT THE SAFETY OF HUMANS ABOVE MONEY AND RECALL THIS DEFECT. I NOW BELIEVE THAT MY DRIVERS WINDOW IS FIXING TO DROP AGAIN AND WHO HAS THE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING WINDOWS WITH THE ECONOMY IN FAILURE. MAYBE I CAN GET A BAILOUT TO FIX MY WINDOW OR BETTER YET BUY MYSELF A NEW CHEVY PICKUP. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 SIDE WINDOWS FALL DOWN. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK LESS THAN 1 AND A HALF YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED TWO REGULATORS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THE DANGER OF THESE WINDOWS WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING ALONG AND THEY JUST FALL DOWN INTO DOOR. CONCERNED THAT A CHILD WILL BE HURT WHILE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING, THE WINDOW JUST FALLS AND NO MORE WINDOW. AT THAT POINT YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS,HOW DO YOU GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD IN A BAD RAIN STORM WITH NO DRIVER WINDOW OR IF A CHILD WOULD BE IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND YOU WOULD BE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW TRUCK. I JUST TURNED ON THE AIRCONDITION BECAUSE IT WAS OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I LOWERED THE REAR WINDOWS TO HELP COOL THE INSIDE QUICKER. I HEARD THIS LOUD THUD AND THEN A GRINDING SOUND AS THE WINDOWS ARE LOWERED. I GOT WORRIED. I THEN RAISED THE WINDOWS AND WHILE THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW WENT UP, THE LEFT REAR WINDOW DID NOT. INSTEAD I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT THE LEFT WINDOW IS STILL OPEN. I DECIDED TO LEAVE IT OPEN SINCE MY DESTINATION IS CLOSE BY. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I TRIED TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS A COUPLE MORE TIMES TO TRY TO CLOSE IT, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. SINCE I'M WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO THE TRUCK AND EVERYTHING I HAD INSIDE, I DECIDED TO SLEEP IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK THAT NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT INSTEAD THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON 2004 AND 2005 F150, IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION I WANTED. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR PANEL, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CABLE IS LOOSE AND BENT. THE PLASTIC WINDOW REGULATOR HAS MANGLED THE CABLE, LEAVING THE WINDOW DOWN. I'M NOW TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE WINDOW REGULATOR TO REPLACE IT. *TR
