2004 Ford F-150 complaints

I HAD NO WARNING AT ALL BEFORE THE POWER WINDOW CRANK BROKE ON MY 2004 F-150 IT IS STUCK DOWN WITH NO WAY FOR ME TO ROLL MY WINDOW UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WINDOW IS GOING TO BREAK IN THE DOOR I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TIME TO FIX THIS PART OR THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS JUST READING AROUND THE INTERNET ON HOW TO FIX IT AND HAVE READY MULTIPLE STORIES OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 PICKUP TRUCK. THREE OF THE FOUR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED SPECTACULARLY. THE WINDOWS CRASH DOWN INTO TO THE DOOR WITHOUT WARNING AND MY BABIES HAVE BEEN IN THEIR CAR SEATS RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR AT LEAST $350 EACH. AND I HAVE THREE!! *TR

FORD F-150 WITH TRITON ENGINE. I SERVICED SPARK PLUGS AT 99,000 MILES PER FORD MANUAL. PLUGS SNAPPED OFF WHEN MECHANICS TRIED TO REMOVE THEM EVEN WITH SPECIAL TOOLS. THE GARAGE SAID I WAS LUCKY THAT IT ONLY COST $1200 TO CHANGE THE PLUGS. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PULL THE HEADS ON THE ENGINE WHICH COULD HAVE COST THOUSANDS. GARAGE SAID THIS DEFECT WAS COMMON ON TRITON ENGINES. I CALLED FORD. THEIR REPLY WAS THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS IS A MAINTENANCE PART. INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT FORD NOW SUPPLIES THE NEW PLUGS WITH A TUBE OF GREASE SO THE PLUG THREADS DON'T LOCK UP IN THE ENGINE HEAD. OTHER POSTS ON THIS SITE DETAIL SIMILAR PROBLEMS PLUS PLUGS BLOWING OUT OF THE HEADS. ONE NEEDS TO WONDER IF FORD DIDN'T TRANSFER THEIR BLOW OUT PROBLEM TO THE REST OF US BY TIGHTENING THE PLUGS TOO TIGHTLY AT THE FACTORY. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2004 FORD SUPERCREW WINDOW HAS FAILED CAUSING MY WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 40000 MILES ON IT AND WAS FAIRLY NEW. WHEN I CALLED FORD I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THIS LAST TIME IT WAS AT ROUGHLY 84000 MILES. I AM A STATE TROOPER WHO WORKS MANY CRASHES EVERY DAY. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER. WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS, AIR BLOWS INTO THE WINDOW CAUSING CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE TO FLY ABOUT. THIS SERIOUSLY DISTRACTS THE DRIVER AND CAN CAUSE VISIBILITY ISSUES (PAPERS FLYING ONTO THE WINDSHIELD). EVEN WORSE AN UNPROPERLY RESTRAINED CHILD CAN FALL OUT THE WINDOW. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MECHANICS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ALL AGREE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THE SERVICE ADVISORS ALREADY KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT OF COST FOR THE REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF IT HAPPENING. APPROX $400.00 WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE-A LIFE LOST FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE CORRECTED? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT SUPER CREW TRUCK THAT HAS HAD TO HAVE 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW MOTORS REPLACED. THE WINDOWS JUST STOP WORKING AND A NEW MOTOR HAS TO BE INSTALLED. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 FORD XL F 150 4 X 4 WHCIH WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE U.S. BUT SOLD IN CANADA SER # [XXX]. THE TRUCK HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION AT 50 MPH AND I HAVE SPENT $2,500 TRYING TO FIX IT WITH OUT SUCCESS. WHAT REALLY SCARED ME WAS THAT ON ONE OCCASSION THE VIBRATION INSTANTLY BECAME SO SEVERE, THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD.. ARE THERE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM? ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM? MY INVESTIGATION LEADS ME TO BE CONVINCED THAT IT IA AN INHERENT FORD MANUFACTURING DEFECT. ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE THAT WOULD SUPPORT MY BELIEF WOULD BE OF GREAT ASSISTANCE, OR ANY INFO AT ALL WOULD HELP. I HAVE SUED FORD AND THE TRIAL IS JUNE 12 A FEW WEEKS FROM NOW SO IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING PLEASE FORWARD IT ASAP [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD 3 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL ON MY 2004 F-150. THE FIRST WAS IN FEBRUARY OF 2008 (FRONT DRIVERS) THEN IN FEBRUARY OF 2010 THE BACK DRIVERS AND TODAY THE BACK PASSENGERS WHERE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS AT IN HER CAR SEAT. IT SCARED HER SO BAD SHE WOULDN'T STOP CRYING FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE FRONT DRIVERS REPLACED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE OTHERS. THEY ARE JUST "SHIMMIED" INTO THE UP POSITION. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2004 FORD F-150 LAST YEAR WITH 36K MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL THREE WINDOWS BECAUSE I KEEP COMING OUT TO MY TRUCK AND THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN. I CHECKED NO RECALL THIS MORNING DRIVING TO WORK ANOTHER WINDOW FELL DOWN AND I ONLY HAVE 46K MILES ON THIS TRUCK. I DO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS. FROM SOMETIME LAST YEAR WILL CHECK RECORDS FOR CONFIRMED DATE EVERY THREE MONTHS I AM LOOSING A WINDOW JUNE 10. *TR

I WAS HAVING A RATTLING NOISE UNDER MY TRUCK FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. MY NEIGHBOR WHO USED TO WORK FOR FORD THINKS ITS THE CABLES FOR THE SPARE TIRE UNDER MY TRUCK. HE BELIEVES THE SPARE TIRE CABLES ARE LOOSE AND NEED TO BE TIGHTENED. I LOOKED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE SPARE TIRE OUT. I HAVE TO USE MY IGNITION KEY TO OPEN THE LOCK TO GET TO THE TIRE. MY KEY ONLY FITS HALF WAY IN AND WONT OPEN THE LOCK. I USED WD40 TO MAYBE GET IT LOOSE. TRIED AGAIN AND NOTHING. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WONT FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A FLAT TIRE? I WONT BE ABLE TO GET TO MY SPARE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON MY OTHER FORD TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F-150 THAT HAS SPIT TWO SPARK PLUGS OUT WITH IN A YEAR. THE SECOND ONE CAUGHT FIRE . THERE HAS BEEN THIS ISSUE WITH MANY OWNERS OF FORD TRUCKS AND IS A ON GOING ISSUE FORD WON'T TAKE CARE OF. NAPA AUTO PARTS HAS A REPAIR KIT MADE JUST FOR THIS ISSUE WITH FORD ENGINES. THE COST IS $ 73.00 PLUS HAVING SOMEONE DO THE REPAIR. *TR

DRIVER DOOR POWER WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR, WILL NOT COME BACK UP. MOTOR SOUNDS AS IF IT'S RUNNING, BUT WINDOW DOES NOT COME UP, ALSO SOME NOISE FROM INSIDE DOOR PANEL SOUNDS LIKE PARTS RATTLING AROUND WHEN WINDOW MOTOR RUNS. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BROKEN. LAST YEAR ABOUT THE SAME TIME OF THE YEAR MY DRIVERS SIDE REGULATOR BROKE. I HAVE ASTHMA AND IT IS A HEALTH PROBLEM FOR ME WITH THE HEAT AND OZONE TO HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A WINDOW DOWN. *TR

WINDOW REGISTERS IN 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOWS HAVE FAILED ON 2004 F150 FORD TRUCK WITH ONLY 28,500 MILES ON VEHICLE. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY FOUR DOOR 2004 FORD F150. REGULATOR, WHICH CONTROLS WINDOW GOING UP AND DOWN, FAILS. WINDOW WILL NOT WORK NOR, STAY UP AFTER FAILURE. FORD DEALER REPLACES REGULATOR AT $375.00 PER WINDOW, PER OCCURRENCE. NO PRIOR EVENTS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, LEADS UP TO THE FAILURE. YOU WILL HEAR A "CRUNCHING" SOUND WHEN REGULATOR FAILS AND WINDOW DROPS INTO CAR DOOR. *TR

THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR/MOTOR ON MY 2004 F150 CREW CAB DRIVER SIDE DOOR MADE A DISCOURAGING BREAKING SOUND YESTERDAY WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A REAR PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALREADY FILED. WHY HAS NOT FORD BEEN REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR AN ESTIMATE BUT REPORTS INDICATE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. PLEASE ADD THIS COMPLAINT TO ALL OTHERS AND MAYBE FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS. WE HAVE TRUSTED FORD TO PROVIDE A QUALITY VEHICLE BUT NOT OUR TRUST IS MISPLACED.

FORD F150 FRONT WINDOW. ABOUT, ONE YEAR AGO OUR FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED WE HAD TO REPLACE THE WORKING MECHANISM ($350.00 ), YESTERDAY OUR DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MECHANISM STOPPED WORKING. I REALLY THINK THAT FOR NHTSA TO WORK FOR THE CONSUMER YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO US. THIS WILL BE ANOTHER 350.00 FIX. I WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF IT WAS YOUR TRUCK OR YOUR DAUGHTER, WIFE, OR MOTHER?? WE NEED YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR US TOO!! P.S I WILL BE SURE TO KEEP THE OLD PARTS THAT HAVE TO BE REPLACED IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL ON MY 2004 FORD F150 PICKUP. THIS THE 3RD WINDOW REGULATOR THAT HAS FAILED. THE DEALER CHARGES 380 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 A POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM . BECAUSE THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS, THE WINDOW COME CRASHING DOWN. SOME COMPLAINTS READ OF THE GLASS ACTUALLY SHATTERING AND FALLING ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. OTHERS WERE ON ROAD TRIPS OUT OF REACH OF A REPAIR SHOP. BUT WORST OF ALL, LIKE MYSELF. IT'S HAVING CHILDREN AND PETS IN THE VEHICLE WITH YOU WHILE THIS HAPPENS. WHAT IF YOU DOG DECIDES TO JUMP? WHAT IF YOU KID GETS OUT OF HIS/HER SEAT? WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN THROWING THINGS OUT THE WINDOW? WHAT ABOUT DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER AND HAVING YOUR VIEW BECOME OBSTRUCTED BY SIDEWAYS RAIN OR WORSE? IT'S ALSO A THEFT ISSUE. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT. PRAY THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL YOUR TRUCK? YOU THINK YOUR INSURANCE IS GOING TO COVER YOU AGAINST THEFT WHEN THEY WOULD SAY YOU WERE NEGLIGENT FOR LEAVING THE WINDOW OPEN? *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 SUPER CREW AND HAVE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATOR GO OUT 2 OF THEM LESS THEN A MONTH APART AND ONE OF THEM HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE ARE A LOT OF F150 OWNER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THE DEALER IS MAKING A FORTUNE OFF OF THERE DEFECTIVE PARTS CHARGING UP TO 400 PLUS PART TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CONCERNED A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE LOUD NOISE IT MAKES WHEN THE WINDOW OUT OF NO WARE FALL IN TO THE DOOR. *TR

I HAVE HAD ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL IN MY 2004 F-150 SUPER CREW. ONE OF THE 4, FELL SLOWLY, BUT THE OTHER THREE DROPPED SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY, CAUSING A ME TO BE STARTLED WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN ANY OF THE 4 INCIDENTS. HOWEVER, TWO OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER AND A RAIN STORM, CREATING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS UNTIL I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE REGULATORS. THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I BEG TO DIFFER WHETHER IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE WINDOW HAS DROPPED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SOUNDING AS IF THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. BEING STARTLED WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS POSSIBLY HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW DROPPED IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR

MY SON AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER AND MY DRIVERS SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I TRIED TO RAISE THE WINDOW BUT ALL I COULD HEAR WAS THE MOTOR RUNNING. IT WAS CLOSE TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE AND RAINING PRETTY HARD SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TRY AND GET THE WINDOW UP BUT HAD NO LUCK. BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS TWO HOURS FROM HOME MY SON AND I COULDN'T MAKE IT HOME SO WE DROVE UNDERNEATH AN OVER PASS AND WAITED THE RAIN OUT. AFTER A 2 HOUR WAIT THE RAIN SLACKED OFF SO WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME. WE MADE IT AN HOUR DOWN THE ROAD AND THE RAIN GOT HEAVY AGAIN SO WE PULLED INTO A COVERED GAS STATION. AFTER AN ADDITIONAL HOUR WAIT WE HIT THE ROAD AGAIN. IT WAS A COLD AND WET RIDE HOME BUT WE FINALLY MADE IT. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT I CONSTANTLY HAD TO DRY OFF THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE RAIN WATER MADE IT SLIPPERY. *TR

APRIL 3, 2010, REAR PAX WINDOW GOES DOWN WITH NOISE, DOES NOT COME BACK UP. TAKE IT TO FORD, WHO REPLACES THE REGULATOR, WITH NO COMMENT ON THAT IT IS AN ISSUE. *TR

MAY 26, 2010 FRONT PAX WINDOW GOES DOWN ON IT OWN WHILE DRIVING. WINDOW WILL NOT COME BACK UP NOISE IN DOOR. SAME AS THE REAR WINDOW IN APRIL. CHECK THE INTERNET OF POSSIBLE ISSUE SEE THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BREAKING ON MANY 2004-2005 F150 TRUCKS. *TR

ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED ON MY 2004 FORD F150 WHEN TRYING TO RAISE OR LOWER THE POWER WINDOW. FIRST ONE OCCURRED IN 2006, 2ND IN 2007, 3RD IN 2009 AND 4TH EARLY IN 2010. HAVE FIXED THE FIRST TWO AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $600. THE FORD DEALER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $750 TO FIX THE TWO THAT ARE BROKEN NOW. *TR

2004 F150 SUPERCREW - PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE WHEELS BEGAN TO LOCK. THE CONTACT FURTHER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE LINING ON THE BRAKE PADS WERE SEPARATING AND CAUSING THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE EXAMINED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 52,000. UPDATED 10/26/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS SEPARATED FROM THE CALIPERS WHICH CAUSED THE PADS TO BIND UP IN THE CALIPERS CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. UPDATED 10/26/10

TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ACROSS THE MONITOR MERIMACK BRIDGE TUNNEL IN HAMPTON ROADS VIRGINIA AT 58 MPH AND THE REAR WINDOW BEGAN TO GO DOWN WITHOUT THE CONTROL SWITCH BEING USED. IT STARTLED ME AND I SWERVED OVER AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BESIDE ME. I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED AND IT COST $454. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE RAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND NOW IT WILL NOT GO UP. THE PARTS MUST BE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY HAD THAT WINDOW DOWN THREE TIMES IN SIX YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THE REAR WINDOW DOWN THAT BROKE AT FIRST. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE (2) POWER WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED AND NOW THE THIRD HAS FAILED. TWICE THE PARTS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE ITEM AND REFUND ANY DOLLARS SPENT PREVIOUSLY REPAIRING THEM. *TR

WINDOWS FELL INTO PANEL OF TRUCK DOOR, DUE TO DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR INSTALLED IN 2004 F150. THIS IS NOT VERY SAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE CAR OR OTHER CARS DRIVING NEAR YOUR VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERS WINDOW IN OCTOBER OF 2009 AND NOW IN MAY 2010 ON BOTH PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS WITHIN 2 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

2004 F-150 LARIAT.......DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD @ 55 MPH AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A ROCK HIT MY REAR WINDOW. I SWERVED AND THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS NEXT TO ME. THEN I STARTED HEARING THE WIND IN THE BACK SEAT AND I LOOKED BACK AND THE WINDOW WAS OPEN HALF WAY. WHEN I PULLED OVER IT FELL IN THE DOOR SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME THE WAY IT WAS. THAT WAS WHEN I HAD 38,352 MILES ON IT. THE SECOND TIME I WAS WASHING THE TRUCK AND MOVED TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND OPENED THE DOOR AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL IN THE DOOR. HOW HUMILIATING AND UNSAFE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE TRUCKS AND REPLACE ALL FOR WINDOW REGULATORS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE WHILE ROLLING UP THE WINDOW SO THAT THE WINDOW CANNOT BE ROLLED BACK UP. THE REGULATOR CAN BE REPLACED AT A COST OF AROUND $350-$400. *TR

2 FRONT WINDOWS STOP WORKING. ONE FELL IN TO DOOR. LAST YEAR REPLACED PASSENGER WINDOW. *TR

2004 F-150, MODERATE TO SEVERE VIBRATION APPEARING TO COME FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN OR DRIVE LINE. VIBRATION APPEARS IN THE 55 - 60 MPH AND CAN GET SO BAD THAT I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO CHECK VEHICLE FOR DAMAGE. PROBLEM FIRST SURFACED AFTER TOWING A 3500 LBS TRAILER FOR ABOUT 60 MILES. NO PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY. F150 RATED FOR 5000 LBS. PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY BUT COMES ON SUDDENLY AND MUST PULL OVER FOR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ATTEMPTED TYPICAL VIBRATION RELATED REPAIRS. TIRES COMPLETELY ROTATED AND REBALANCED. TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND FLUID CHANGED. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CHANGED. TRANSFER CASE FLUID CHANGED. ENGINE ELECTRONICALLY CHECKED FOR OPERATIONAL ISSUES OR "CODES". NONE. WHEN VIBRATION BEGINS, PUT F150 INTO NEUTRAL TO CHECK FOR POSSIBLE ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEMS. NEUTRAL HAD NO EFFECT ON EASING THE SEVERE VIBRATION. ATTEMPTED SIMPLY EASING OFF GAS - NO EFFECT. VIBRATION REMAINED SEVERE. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN RESTART. VIBRATION STOPS BUT ONLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN COMES BACK JUST AS SEVERE. REPAIRS TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH VIBRATION AT SPEED HAVE HAD NO EFFECT. DANGER IS IN POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL AND HAVING TO STOP ON HI-SPEED INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WITH THE ASSOCIATED DANGER OF COLLISION FROM PASSING VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. LOUD SOUND AND SUDDEN RUSH OF AIR FROM THE OPEN WINDOW IS A STARTLING AND DANGEROUS DISTRACTION FROM DRIVING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES ON INTERNET CHATS AND FORUMS OF SUDDEN MALFUNCTION OF THE WINDOW MECHANISM IN THE 2004 FORD F150. *TR

THE 3RD WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY FORD 150 HAS FAILED. ALL HAVE DROPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD. TWO ON A FREEWAY. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND DON'T NEED THEM THAT CLOSE TO AN OPEN WINDOW. I HAVE HAD TWO REGULATORS REPLACED IN THE PAST 1.5 YEARS AND NOW NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE REPLACED! *TR

I OWN A 2004 F150 FORD PICKUP, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR 2 TIMES IN 1 YEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, WHEN THE REGULATOR BREAKS THE WINDOW JUST COMES CRASHING DOWN. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT RECALLED OR DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND COME TO FIND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THE PLASTIC CLIP IN THE REGULATOR IS WHAT BREAKS, UNFORTUNATELY THE CLIP CANNOT BE REPLACED SO EACH TIME A COMPLETE REGULATOR MUST BE PURCHASED THE COST HAS BEEN $400.00 EACH TIME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! ANY HELP ON YOUR PART WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TWO WINDOWS FELL DOWN INTO DOOR WHILE DRIVING, WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2004 FORD F150 DEFECTIVE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH VEHICLE.FRONT PASSENGERSIDE WINDOW AND THEN THREE DAYS LATER DRIVERSIDE REAR WINDOWFALLS DOWN CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE NOT RECOGNIZED DEFECT WITH THE PART CAUSING PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE CHANGED PART NUMBER THREE TIMES. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW CAB LARIAT. SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS. ON TWO OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. AS I TURNED TO SEE WHAT THE NOISE WAS, I OBSERVED MY WINDOWS FALLING INTO THE DOOR FRAMES. THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD, I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD THROWN SOMETHING AT MY VEHICLE AND HIT IT. IT WAS A SCARY SITUATION, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOUD NOISE WAS EXTREMELY STARTLING. THE OTHER TWO WINDOW REGULATORS, WHICH BROKE ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS AS WELL, HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I CAME OUTSIDE THE FIRST TIME AND THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY LEFT ONE OF MY WINDOWS DOWN....ONLY TO REALIZE THAT I HAD YET ANOTHER BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. THE LAST ONE THAT BROKE, WAS EASILY RECOGNIZED AS A BROKEN REGULATOR, DUE TO MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRIOR 3. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 OF MY REGULATORS REPAIRED AT EXTREMELY HIGH COSTS. THESE REGULATORS THAT JUST BREAK FOR NO APPARENT REASON ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, NOT ONLY TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, BUT OTHER VEHICLE OPERATORS AS WELL. IF I DID NOT HAVE THE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE REGARDING VEHICLES, I COULD HAVE EASILY INADVERTENTLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

ON 9 MAY 2010 TRAVELING ON I-64 AROUND NORFOLK AT BETWEEN 65 MPH AND 70 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED DRAG ON THE VEHICLE AND FORCING NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL. APPARENTLY THE ELECTRIC WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED IN AN UNEXPECTED AND DANGEROUS MANNER. *TR

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AT 62,000 MILES LEADING TO TOTAL CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I HAD LIMITED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-85 SOUTH HEADING TOWARDS LAGRANGE, GA AT APPROX. 65 MPH AND MY REAR WINDOW JUST FELL ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE REAR DOOR HAD OPENED UP. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR WENT OUT. I EXPLAINED THAT THE REAR WINDOW IS HARDLY EVER USED AND MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH FORD AND THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. THE REPAIR WAS $ 294 DOLLARS, BUT THE BIGGER CONCERN IS THAT MY RECENT INQUIRY OF THE INTERNET LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA HAS MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO FORD TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE REGULATORS, HOWEVER, TO DATE, THEY HAVE IGNORED SAID RECOMMENDATION. I BELIEVE THIS NOT ONLY TO BE A DEFECT, BUT ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER REVIEWING YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO FORD AND MAKE IT A MANDATORY RECALL. THANK YOU! *TR

I HAVE A FORD F150 2004 WITH ONLY 45000 MILES AND THE WINDOWS IN THE REAR DROPPED WILL DRIVING AND MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL BECOME AN EXTREME HAZARD AND SOMEONE WILL END UP HURT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM... ITS WILL...IF IT HASN'T ALREADY COST SOMEONE TO CRASH AND POSSIBLY LOSE A LIFE. *TR

POWER WINDOW ASSEMBLY CABLE CAME LOOSE AFTER PLASTIC PULLEY BROKE, WINDOW FELL DOWN ON BOTH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE BUT THEY DID OFFER TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,800.

2004 FORD F150 FOUR DOOR, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE PASSENGER WINDOW FALLS DOWN, SOME CHEAP CABLE BREAK, NEXT DAY THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW SAME THING, ONE WEEK LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW SAME THING. I HAVE HAD TO PROP THEM UP IN PLACE BECAUSE FORD WANTS ALMOST $400.00 A WINDOW TO FIX. *TR

2004 F-150. CONSUMER STATES FAULTY SPONGY BRAKES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO GET ANOTHER BRAND OF BRAKE LININGS TO MAKE HIS VEHICLE SAFE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP (SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT) THAT MADE ME SWERVE. AFTER STABILIZING MY TRUCK, I REALIZED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE LOUD POP WAS A BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN YESTERDAY AGAIN I WAS DRIVING AND THE OTHER WINDOW DID THE SAME THING, THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES!!!!!!! *TR

THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE REAR DOORS OF MY 2004 F-150 SUPERCREW HAVE BOTH FAILED WITHIN A YEARS' TIME. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE WINDOW TO DROP DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AS IT HAPPENED WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE IS NO WAY TO EASILY RAISE THE WINDOW WITHOUT TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE DRIVER WENT TO START THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED AND HE INJURED HIS LEFT HAND.
