ON SATURDAY, 3/6/10 MY THIRD WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT ON MY FORD F150 XLT QUAD CAB. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN AUGUST OF 2008 AND I HAVE REPLACED 2 REGULATORS SO FAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK, THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. I CONTACTED WITTMEIER FORD WHEN THE FIRST ONE WENT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT IN NOVEMBER 2009 AND I HAD IT FIXED THEN. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD REGULATOR THAT WENT OUT, I WENT TO WITTMEIER FORD TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERING THIS WINDOW EITHER. PLEASE REVIEW THIS WEBSITE FOR OTHER COMPLAINTS.

ON MON. MARCH 1 OF THIS YEAR I WENT TO MY TRUCK, A 2004 FORD F-150 TO GO TO WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED LATER THAT DAY THAT THE "FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE", WHICH IS MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK, HAD CORRODED AND SHORTED-OUT. THIS MODULE IS DESIGNED TO REGULATE GAS FLOW FROM THE FUEL PUMP AND WHEN IT FAILS, IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE PUMP...NO GAS MEANS NO GO. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT FORD MOTOR CO. DOES NOT HAVE ANY AND THAT THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER UNTIL MAY!! AFTER CALLING 9 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND GETTING THE SAME ANSWER OF "GOOD LUCK IN FINDING ONE AS THERE HAS BEEN A RUN ON THESE IN THE NORTHEAST DUE TO HEAVY SALT USE" IT SEEMS NO-ONE HAS ANY. I KNOW THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY CASE BUT TO TELL CUSTOMERS TO WAIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY CAN GET THEIR TRUCK BACK IS INSANE. AND IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IT COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I JUST FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PREPARED FOR THIS ...2 MONTH WAIT IS UNHEARD OF. *TR

2004 FORD 150 WINDOWS KEEP FAILING, AND FALLING DOWN INTO DOOR. *TR

BOTH REAR WINDOWS IN MY 2004 FORD F150 BROKE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE WINDOWS DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED TWICE ALREADY AND THEY KEEP BREAKING. I WAS JUST STING AT A LIGHT THEN HEARD SOMETHING LIKE A ROCK HIT THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK THEN THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED IT WAS THE CABLES THAT HOLD THE WINDOWS UP SNAPPING. I HAVE THREE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN AND LIVE WHERE THERE ARE EXTREME TEMPS. I CANNOT HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN EXPOSED TO THESE KIND OF ENVIRONMENTS. FORD IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET THESE PARTS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE CONTACT COASTED IN NEUTRAL GEAR ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ROADS WERE WET, YET, THEY PLAYED NO FACTOR IN THE VEHICLE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALERS QUOTED A PRICE OF $300-$1800 TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,300. UPDATED 03/26/10

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY, I HEARD A POP. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS FALLING INTO THE DOOR. *TR

THE 'ENGINE FUEL CONTROL MODULE' ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 4X4 EXTENDED CAB, 6 3/4FT BED, 5.4L 3V ENGINE 4X4 HAS FAILED DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THE MODULE IS LOCATED UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK, AND CRACKS WHEN HIT BY PEBBLES THAT ARE INEVITABLY KICKED UP. WATER THEN GETS INTO IT AND IT FAILS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP AND NOT RUN AT ALL. ONCE THE MECHANIC FOUND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, HE THEN TRIED TO ORDER THE PART. THE MODULE IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, 3 MONTHS I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE IT. THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I PAID OVER $30.000 FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF A $77 PART THAT I CANNOT GET. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TIME THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT. IF IT IS ON 'NATIONAL BACK ORDER', THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. 3 MONTHS BACK ORDER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. IS FORD MOTOR CO GOING TO GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK, THE DOCTORS, ETC WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PART TO COME IN? SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO LOOK INTO THIS AND FIND A SOLUTION. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 150 FORD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 25000 MILES AND THAT IS GUESSING SINCE THE DASH DOES NOT WORK. ALSO THE WINDOW HAS FALLEN OUT AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS.

THIS FREEZE UP CAUSED THE REAR BRAKE TO ENGAGE INVOLUNTARILY AND DESTROYED THE ACTUATOR, THE BRAKE PADS, AND THE ROTOR. *TR

THE WINDOWS ON THE 2004 FORD F150 WILL RANDOMLY FALL DOWN DUE TO A WINDOW REGULATOR ISSUE. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS ROAD DEBRIS COULD STRIKE THE DRIVER THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW. THE ISSUE IS ON ALL WINDOWS OF THE VEHICLE AND IT REQUIRE THE ENTIRE WINDOW REGULATOR BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY $350 PER WINDOW. *TR

I HAVE HAD TWO WINDOWS IN MY 2004 F-150 COME OFF THE TRACKS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. AT $400 A WINDOW I AM SURE THEY LOVE TO FIX THEM! *TR

2004 FORD F-150 WINDOW FELL DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW BROKE. I WAS AT CVS AND ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE DOOR APART TO GET THE WINDOW UP BUT IT WON'T STAY UP. WE HAVE CHECKED AND ARE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE PART. SEEMS IT'S A DEALER ONLY PART, WE ARE CHECKING JUNKYARD BECAUSE THE PART IS ALMOST $200 FOR THE PART, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW IN THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 AND I HAVE HAD IT 2 1/2 YRS AND HAD TO FIX THE WINDOW TWICE IN THAT TIME. *TR

THE BRAKE SYSTEM USES PLASTIC "O" RINGS, INSTEAD OF METAL, IN THE BRAKE CALIPERS. UPON COOL OVER TIME THE "O" RING WARPS. MEANING EVERY TIME I USE MY BRAKES, I'M DAMAGING MY BRAKE SYSTEM. *CN

I OWN A 2004 F150 AND HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL ON MY TRUCK AS HAVE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE. I WAS TRAVELING 65 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY WINDOW FELL INTO MY DOOR. THE DAY PRIOR I ROLLED MY WINDOW UP AT THE POST OFFICE AND HEARD A CRUNCHING OR CRACKING SOUND AS THE WINDOW REACHED THE TOP. I TOO DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL MY WINDOW FELL IN. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I PAID A FORD DEALERSHIP IN LOVELAND, COLORADO $400 TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED PARTS IN MY DOOR. THE OLD PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS I ASSUME THEY THREW IT AWAY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN A DRIVING WIND A LOT OF DUST/DIRT DEBRIS ENTERED MY TRUCK UNTIL I GOT PULLED OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I DID NOT GET ANYTHING IN MY EYES. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE REGULATORS AND REFUND PEOPLES EXPENSE THAT HAVE ALREADY FIXED THIS. *CN

FORD SPARK PLUGS FAIL AND ARE UNABLE TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGE, REQUIRING SPECIAL TOOL OR SIGNIFICANT COST. *TW *TR

DURING WINTER STORM 2010 (JANUARY 30-31, 2010) THE PASSAGER WINDOW ON MY 2004 F-150 SUDDENLY FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO CAVILIER FORD IN CHESAPEAKE, VA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR/PULLEY ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND THAT THE COST OF REPAIR WOULD COST $535; RESEACHED THIS ON THE WEB (CARCOMPLAINTS.COM) AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG, BIG, COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FIX. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS AND COULD HAPPEN REPEATLY. *CN

2004 FORD F-150 DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN AND SLIDES DOWN ON IT'S OWN. *CN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT THE SIDE OF MY CAR. BUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL. I AM JUST GLAD IT WASN'T A BACK WINDOW WITH KIDS IN THE BACK. THIS COULD HAVE REALLY CAUSED SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT. IT WAS ALSO RAINING/SNOWING DURING THE TIME IT FELL. I HAD TO TURN UP THE HEATER AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH THE WINDOW BROKEN. MY TRUCK JUST HAS 50, 000 THOUSAND MILES. *TR

ONE YEAR AGO MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE STOPPED WORKING. MY F-150 WAS 47 MONTHS OLD AND PURCHASED TO GO IN SNOW AND OFF ROAD. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BROKE AND THE LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE (ALSO DEFECTIVE) ONLY SPINS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. NOW, IF YOU GET ON WET GRASS YOU ARE STUCK AND NEED A TOW. I TOOK MY F-150 TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DID A $100 DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. FORD DEALER SAID THIS 4X4 MODULE (INTEGRAL PART OF THE PCM) WAS NOT COVERED BY THE 8 YEAR 80,000 MILE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE F-150 WOULD STILL PASS EMISSIONS TESTING (THE OTHER TWO THIRDS OF THE PCM STILL WORKED CORRECTLY). THE COST ESTIMATE STARTED AT $1100 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PCM, AND THE DEALER WAS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE ON THE REPAIR PRICE. THE REPAIR WAS NOT AFFORDABLE FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE TRUCK WAS TO GO IN THE SNOW, BUT IT IS WORSE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE IN THE SNOW NOW WITHOUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT CAN'T EVEN GET UP THE SLIGHT HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW, AND JUST SPINS THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WITH ZERO TRACTION. *TR
