2004 Ford F-150 complaints

FACTORY SPARK PLUGS IN 2004 F 150 ARE BREAKING WHEN REMOVING EVEN FROM THE DEALERSHIPS. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT BROKEN POWER WINDOW REGULATORS DRIVER SIDE. PU WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. I THOUGHT SOMEBODY BROKE IN BUT NO BROKEN GLASS AND WINDOW MOTOR IS STILL RUNNING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN I FELT THE ENGINE "MISSING". I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND COULD HEAR THE ENGINE MISSING AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. I WAS ABOUT 30 SECONDS FROM MY HOUSE, SO I CONTINUED. RIGHT BEFORE I GOT TO MY HOUSE I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND COASTED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I TRIED CRANKING THE TRUCK THE NEXT MORNING AND IT IDLED ROUGH FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN THE ENGINE FAILED. I TOWED IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT IT HYDROLOCKED. THERE WAS A LOT OF GAS AND WATER IN THE OIL PAN (THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM HAD DUMPED THERE). IT WAS THEN THAT I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2005 F150'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, A FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR THAT CAUSED HYDROLOCKING. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED IF I WAS COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL SINCE I HAD THE SAME PART. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS ONLY FOR 2005, NOT FOR 2004 REGARDLESS OF THE PART #. THEY OFFERED ME NO HELP SINCE MY TRUCK WAS AT 72K MILES. THE TRUCK WAS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED WITH THE OIL BEING CHANGED EVERY 3K MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR HOUSING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED WITH EACH WINDOW IN THE VEHICLE AT LEAST ONCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I OWN A 2004 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK WITH 75,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE REGULATOR FAIL ON ALL FOUR WINDOWS ON THIS TRUCK. WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR DAYS WITH THE WINDOW DOWN OR TAPED UP AT TIMES IN DRIVING RAIN AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES. WHEN THE DRIVERS WINDOW FAILED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR FRAME, I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON A FREEWAY AND ALMOST SWERVED INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE REGULATORS FOR THE TWO PASSENGER WINDOWS JUST FAILED WITHIN A 3 WEEK PERIOD. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS HAVE HAD 3 PROBLEMS. I'VE HAD THE REGULATOR GO OUT ONCE AND HAVE HAD THE POWER ASSEMBLY / CONTROL PANEL REPLACED TWICE. *TR

2004 FORD F-150: THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4WD WHEN DRIVING. IT WILL HOWEVER SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE SOLENOIDS WHICH CAN GET WET AND SHORT OUT RUINING THE ACTUATORS. THIS IS A PART WHICH FORD KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW PART. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A TSB OUT ON THIS ISSUE. IN APRIL OF 2006 THEY STARTED PUTTING WATER GUARDS ON THE SOLENOIDS TO ENSURE THIS WON'T HAPPEN. HAVING A TRANSMISSION THAT WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

BOTH DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS FRONT AND REAR REGULATORS FAILED AND WINDOWS CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY 2004 FORD F150. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE. THE SHOP WANTS BETWEEN $400-$500 TO FIX EACH WINDOW. *TR

2004 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCREW DRIVER'S SIDE REAR POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY, 4/21/2010. THE WINDOW LUCKILY JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT SHATTERING, BUT I AM NOW FACED WITH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. LUCKILY, I AM MECHANICALLY ABLE TO REPLACE THE PARTS MYSELF AT HOME, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE AWAY FROM HOME, OR WITH ANY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE TRUCK, HAD THE WINDOW SHATTERED AS SOME HAVE REPORTED. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HAS NOT BEEN FORCED INTO A SAFETY RECALL WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THERE ARE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE! I JUST FINISHED ORDERING THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I WILL KEEP THE OLD REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SHOULD ANYONE FROM THE NHTSA REQUEST TO INSPECT IT. THANKS! *TR

THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REGULATOR WAS BAD SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR. THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED AN INDIVIDUAL RIDING IN THE BACK WAS ROLLING DOWN THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN THE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR ON THIS WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR AND THIS ONE WAS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF HAVING THE 2ND WINDOW FIXED. ONCE AGAIN I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THE REGULATOR ON THIS WINDOW WAS BAD AS WELL. YESTERDAY I WAS LEAVING WORK AND STARTED TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR WAS BAD. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE 4 WINDOW REGULATORS GOING BAD WITHIN 15 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. PLUS I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND WHAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH ME AND THE WEATHER WAS BAD OUTSIDE. EVERYTIME THAT THE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON ISSUE PLUS THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY SEE REGULARLY. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ROLLED WINDOWS DOWN TO AIR OUT CAR. GOT HOME WHICH IS A 1 MILE AWAY, LH REAR WINDOW WOULD NOT RAISE. LH FRONT HAPPENED ABOUT 1 YEAR PRIOR. CAN'T DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SECURITY ISSUE. WINDOW REGULATOR IS BEING REPLACED. I HAVE OLD PARTS. *TR

STEERING BECAME VERY HARD INTERMITTENTLY. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. STEERING WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER WHEN COMPLETING TURNS AND FROZE UP ON TURNS AT LOW SPEED. TOOK TO DEALER AND ADVISED THAT UNIVERSALS IN STEERING SHAFT WERE RUSTED FROZEN. TRUCK HAD 98,000 MILES. A FRIEND WITH A 2007 F-150 WITH 50,000 MILES HAD SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SINCE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN TURNS. *TR

WHEN TRUCK WAS STARTED, LEFT REAR WINDOW OF 2004 F150 CREW CAB SLOWLY WENT DOWN ALL BY ITSELF, NO BUTTON WAS PUSHED. WOULDN'T RETURN TO UP POSITION. TRUCK WAS BOUGHT USED IN JANUARY 2010 AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, SO FAR, TO HAPPEN. ORDERING REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX. WILL KEEP OLD PART. *TR

2004 FORD F150 POWER WINDOW FAILURES, WINDOWS DROP DOWN INTO THE DOOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 2WD TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE OTHER DAY AND TRIED TO PUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN. WHEN I PRESSED THE POWER BUTTON THE WINDOW MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND THEN THE WINDOW ITSELF FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT BACK UP AND HAD TO LEAVE IT DOWN FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE I HAD TIME TO TAKE THE SIDE PANEL OFF AND SEE THAT THE FACTORY POWER WINDOW REGULATOR CABLES HAD BECOME TANGLED INSIDE ITS PULLEY. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEEING WELL OVER 1000 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM I DECIDED TO FILE MY OWN COMPLAINT, HOPING THAT FORD DOES A RECALL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

2004 F-150 POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. *TR

I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO LOWER MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW XLT YESTERDAY AND AFTER HEARING A LOUD "POP" MY DOOR GLASS QUICKLY FEEL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. THE WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR STILL WORKED, BUT IT JUST MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND WOULDN'T MOVE THE GLASS. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE WINDOW STARTLED ME AND I RAN OFF THE ROADWAY AND ALMOST CRASHED MY TRUCK. I TOOK THE DOOR APART AND INSPECTED THE REGULATOR AND THE ENTIRE CABLE MECHANISM HAD SEPARATED IN 3 PLACES. THE CONNECTION TO THE MOTOR ALONG WITH TWO OTHER CONNECTIONS. THE ONLY FIX IS WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT. I ORDERED A REPLACEMENT REGULATOR FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. WHEN I COMPARED THE NEW ONE TO THE ORIGINAL I OBSERVED A MAJOR DIFFERENCE. THE NEW ONE HAD COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF LUBRICANT ON THE GUIDES, CABLES AND PULLEYS. THE ORIGINAL REGULATOR MECHANISM WAS COMPLETELY DRY WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY TYPE OF LUBRICATION. WAS THE LACK OF LUBRICATION A FACTOR IN THE FAILURE? I AM NOT SURE. BUT, I DID FIND EVIDENCE OF METAL ON METAL. I PLAN ON REPAIRING THE PROBLEM MYSELF WITH AN AFTERMARKET OEM PART. THIS IS DUE TO THE NUMEROUS REPEATED FAILURES OF FORD WINDOW REGULATORS THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED ONLINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW THE SLIDING BACK GLASS DID NOT WORK BEFORE I DROVE IT OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR, SWITCH, CABLE MECHANISM AND EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH

2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4 DOOR - WINDOW MOTOR/CABLE FAILURE. I STARTED TO "ROLL" THE PASSENGER DOOR FRONT WINDOW DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED ALL THE WAY INSIDE THE DOOR LEAVING NO WINDOW AVAILABLE ON THAT DOOR. NO WINDOW, NO PROTECTION FROM THE WEATHER, NO SECURITY, ETC. THE WINDOW WOULD NOT COME UP AND REMAINED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT LOOKS LIKE A REAL OBVIOUS RECALL SITUATION. PLEASE MAKE FORD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILURE AS IT APPARENTLY CAN HAPPEN OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF INFERIOR PARTS. THIS IS MY FIRST OCCURENCE IN MY 23 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP - THANK GOODNESS. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR REPORTS AND I ASK THAT YOU BE FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS AND FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE PARTS WITH A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT PART. PLEASE TREAT THEM EQUAL WITH TOYOTA AND ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER. FORD HAS A BAD DOOR CABLE OR MECHANISM AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2004 F-150 TRUCK FAILED WHILE DRIVING. VERY DISHEARTENING TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND YET NEITHER FORD OR THE NHTSA HAS DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I'M THE OWNER OF A 2004 F-150. I'VE PAID $1,000.00 FOR TWO WINDOW REPAIRS THAT FELL OUT OF NO WHERE AT 54000 MILES AND THEN AGAIN AT 54250. I NEVER REPORTED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I'VE GOT A 3RD FALLEN WINDOW AND FELT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND FOUND THIS WEBSITE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE WINDOWS DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN!! THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL AND SCARED THE HECK OUT OF HER. GOT IT FIXED FOR $500.00. WELL GUESS WHAT? TWO WEEKS LATER SHE CALLED SCREAMING WITH FEAR THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD SHOT OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS WINDOW FELL, ANOTHER $500.00. NOW, SUNDAY APRIL 11, 2010, THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW FELL AND IS BEING HELD UP WITH DUCT TAPE, I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. HOW CAN THIS BE O.K.?? *TR

THE WINDOW TO THE FORD F-150 WAS DOWN ABOUT HALF WAY. I PRESSED THE BUTTON TO PULL IT BACK UP BUT INSTEAD THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE AND IT FELL DOWN COMPLETELY. I PRESSED TO BRING IT BACK UP BUT IT WAS USELESS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FUNCTION CORRECTLY ANYMORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 3 TIMES: THE TWO BACK SEAT WINDOWS AND THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEND I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS CHARGED 400 DOLLARS. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE SAFTEY HAZARDS. *TR

I OWN A FORD F-150 2004 4X4 FOUR DOOR LARIAT MODEL TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $300 EACH. WHEN I INQUIRED FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM TN THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL F-150 MODELS MANUFACTURED FROM THE MID 1990'S ON. THEY ALSO WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE PART COULDN'T BE WARRANTED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAD NOT BETTER CHANCE OF LONG LIFE THEN DID THE OTHERS. THIS IS NO DOUBT A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I KNOW FORD, LIKE MANY OTHER AMERICAN FIRMS, IS HAVING A ROUGH TIME WITH THIS ECONOMY BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS FLAGRANT DISREGARD OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FORD CUSTOMERS. *TR

NO EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT, CAUSING THE ENTIRE WINDOW TO DROP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. VEHICLE UNSAFE, CHILD MAY FALL OUT OF WINDOW, ECT. WINDOW REGULATOR MUST BE REPLACED. OCCURS OFTEN. *TR

ON APRIL 6,2010 DRIVING AND WENT TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HEARD A LOUD POP WINDOW DROPPED DOWN. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE MECHANIC FOUND MECHANISM WAS FAULTY IE CABLE BROKE. REPLACED THE MECHANISM FOR $292.00. ON APRIL 7, 2010 AT 3PM MY DAUGHTER WENT TO ROLL HER DOWN AGAIN A POP AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. I AM TAKING TRUCK TO MECHANIC TOMORROW TO HAVE FIXED. I ASSUME IT WILL BE ANOTHER $292.00. I ONLY HAVE 48,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND WILL KEEP FAULTY PARTS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD POP. WINDOW FALLS DOWN. THE NEW PART IS 170.00. *TR

PROBLEM POWER WINDOWS, WITHIN ONE WEEK THE DRIVERS WINDOW FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR, AND NEXT ON THE FREEWAY THE PASSENGER WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN, APPARENTLY THE CABLES ARE INFERIOR. SO HOW COME NO RECALL FOR THIS JUNK. FORD WANTS 700 TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME INFERIOR PARTS. FORD F150. AND NO I DON'T LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD AND IT'S NOT A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. *TR

FORD F-150 WITH TRITON V-8 SPARK PLUG BLOWOUT. *TR

MY 2004 F-150 (A $34,00 VEHICLE)FORD PICKUP TRUCK (58,000 MILES) BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE HEAD IN AUGUST OF 2009. A FORD DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING IN A HELICOIL INTO THE PLUG TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. ($580) THIS PAST FEBRUARY IT BLEW A PLUG AGAIN, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY RELIABLE FIX WAS TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE HEAD. THE COST FOR THIS WAS $3,000 DOLLARS. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE YOU WILL SEE THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE FACE THIS DEFECT. IT IS APPARENT THAT FORD IS TURNING THEIR BACK AND IGNORING THE ISSUE THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE I AM SURE THAT YOUR AGENCY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/FORD/TR7HFU0VD0N2U9KPD THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES OF THIS RECALLABLE FAILURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE ONE WINDOW DOWN BUT I WAS DRIVING ALONE AND SO I KNOW I DIDN'T ROLL DOWN A WINDOW AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS FALLING DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I TRIED PUSHING THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON TO TRY TO GET IT TO CLOSE BUT HAD NO LUCK, JUST A RUMBLING NOISE. I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND I THINK FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL SINCE I KNOW AT LEAST 2 OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 FORD F 150 AND TODAY 3/4/2010 HAS MADE THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BLOWN OUT A SPARK PLUG. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY, BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF CUSTOMERS. [XXX] IS MY EMAIL.

MY THIRD POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE. EACH TIME IT WAS A DIFFERENT WINDOW. I HAD THEM REPLACED AT THE FORD GARAGE.

WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED

I HAVE A 2004 F150 CREW CAB. I HAVE HAD ALL WINDOWS FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR FINDING MY TRUCK SITTING PARKED WITH THE WINDOW FALLEN ALL THE WAY DOWN.. I HAVE HAD THINGS STOLEN OUT OF MY TRUCK AND THE INTERIOR SOAKED. I HAVE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE EVERY TIME AND THEY DO NOT GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THE FAULTY PLASTIC WINDOW REGULATORS THEY ARE HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH. IT IS ASHAME THEY ARE NOT BEING PROACTIVE BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF IT. IF MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE LOST AND IN A BAD AREA AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN WITH NO WAY TO GET IT BACK UP SHE WOULD BE VULNERABLE. IF A STORM CAME AND SHE WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WITH NO REFUGE IN THE COLD WITH A BABY IN THE CAR, THEN WHAT? THEY ARE ALSO NOT WILLING TO HELP PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN AFTER THE 3RD WINDOW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM FURIOUS THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND FAULTY PARTS THE CHOSE TO USE AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN! IT IS A VERY, VERY, VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. AT LEAST TOYOTA IS STANDING BEHIND THEIR SCREW UP. NO WONDER PEOPLE BUY JAPANESE. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING. PLEASE HELP DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS.THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000, THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 80,000..............[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HAD JUST ROLLED UP FRONT PASENGER SIDE WINDOW WHEN I HEARD A LOUD THUMP. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND NEARLY @&*^ MY PANTS. I REALIZED THE WINDOW HAD FELL FROM IT'S TRACK AND WON'T GO BACK UP. DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED, WILL BE DRIVING WITH PLASTIC ON THE WINDOW. NOT GOOD. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I SEE IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE, AND LIKELY A SAFETY HAZZARD.

I MONTH AGO, I HAD THE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACE ON MY 2004 FORD 150, TODAY MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE ON OUR WAY TO THE STORE AND THE WINDOW ON THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE COMES CRASHING DOWN. IF THIS IS SA KNOW DEFECT WHY IS FROD NOT REPLACING THEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT SOON OR LATER BY THIS.

THIRD TIME IN 5 YEARS POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 HAS FAILED. FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. WINDOW SIMPLY FALLS INTO THE DOOR AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO PULL IT BACK UP. WERE THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCUR DURING ADVERSE WEATHER, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES ARE HIGHLY LIKELY.

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR, DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. WAS GOING THREW TOLL BOOTH AND WINDOW FELL. WITH IN 2 WEEKS THE PASSENGER WINDOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING. AFTER LOOKING FOR PARTS, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. *CN

2004 FORD F150 5.4L V8 XLT 2X4 SUPERCAB. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS FAILED. UPON INTERNET RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AS A STAY AT HOME DAD OF 2 CHILDREN 2YEARS OLD AND UNDER, I SIMPLY CAN'T HAVE A WINDOW FALL INTO THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY THE REGULATOR FAILED LATE AT NIGHT AND DID NOT POSE A PROBLEM WITH THE KIDS BEING IN THE VEHICLE. WINDOW DID NOT BREAK BUT WILL NOT OPERATE. *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MARGINAL HAD RUSTED AND SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,842. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000. UPDATED 05/06/10. *LJ THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. UPDATED 07/27/10*JB

2004 FORD F-150 SLT SUPERCREW 4-DOOR...POWER WINDOW FAILS, WINDOW FALLS DOWN INTO DOOR...THIS IS MY FOURTH INCIDENT, ONCE FOR EACH WINDOW...THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE "POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY" WHICH COSTS OVER $450

WINDOWS WOULD ROLL UP AND DOWN NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEM. ONE DAY IN FEB. OF 2010 MY PASENGER BACKSEAT WINDOW FELL DOWN HALFWAY INTO THE DOOR. I COULD NOT USE MY POWER SWITCH AT ALL. IN FACT WHEN I TRIED IT GAVE OFF A BURNT SMELL. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR. I COULDN'T FIND ONE LOCALLY SO I TEMPORARALY FIXED IT BY PUTTING A HEAVY DUTY PIECE OF CARDBOARD IN THE DOOR TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP. NO MORE THAN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, MY DRIVERSIDE BACKSEAT WINDOW DID THE EXACT SAME THING. SO I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A NEW PAIR TO REPLACE THE BROKEN ONES. THEN ON 3/22/2010 WHILE DRIVING, MY DRIVERSIDE FRONT WINDOW BEGAN TO CREEP DOWN. I TRIED THE SWITCH AND SLAM! THE WINDOW FELL ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOOR. I CAN'T EVEN PULL IT OUT ENOUGH TO TAPE IT SHUT. I AM TRUELY UPSET BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE INCONVIENIENCE, BUT A SAFETY HAZZARD. EACH WINDOW REGULATOR IS ROUGHLY $130-$145 DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE IS NEEDED. THIS PRICE IS PICKED UP, NOT AN INSTALLED QUOTE. MY PARTS ARE ORDERED AND ON THIER WAY.

TWO BROKEN WINDOW REGULATORS WITHIN APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS. I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS AND I HEARD A NOISE AND WINDOW JUST DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. NO BROKEN GLASS, BUT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOUNG KIDS AND YOU'RE AWAY FROM HOME IN COLD WEATHER.

THERE ARE FACTORY MADE SQUARE HOLES UNDER THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK. WHEN IT RAINS, THE WHEELS SPLASH WATER INTO THESE HOLES. THE WATER COMES UP INTO THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK.
