2004 Ford F-150 complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IN MY TRUCK FELL THIS MORNING. I FIXED THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO THIS WEEK. I BROUGHT IT IN LAST YEAR TO FIX THE WINDOW AND THEY CHANGED THE CABLE OR MOTOR NOT REALLY SURE, BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO FIX THE DRIVERS SIDE NOW. SAME PART NEEDS TO BE CHANGED JUST DIFFERENT DOOR. AT $200.00 EACH TIME. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2004 F-150. MAYBE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THESE PARTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 2009, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IN MY 2004 FORD F-150 PICKUP, FELL INTO THE DOOR. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO BACK UP AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS OCCURRED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS I WAS PASSING A LARGE TRUCK AT THE TIME AND THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN SIDESWIPED. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES THAT I HAVE NOW SEEN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY DRIVER WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN. 2004 F !50 *TR

I HAD BOTH PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS FALL WITHIN A DAY APART FROM EACH OTHER. IT'S THE PART THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW IN PLACE I BELIEVE THEY ARE CALLING IT THE ACTUATORS. THE CABLE IS BREAKING LOSE FROM THIS ASSEMBLY AND CAUSING THE CABLE TO CRINKLE IN THE MOTOR, SO EVERY PART OF THAT WINDOW GETS DESTROYED. NO INCIDENTS THANK GOD, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES AND STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT! I GUESS SOMEBODY HAS TO DIE FOR FORD TO START A RECALL I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. *TR

OVER THE PAST YEAR OF OWNING MY 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 5.4 LTR. TRITON, I HAVE REPLACED 3 OUT OF THE 4 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THESE NORMAL REPAIRS HOWEVER AS THEY HAVE ALL OCCURRED WITHIN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WERE ALL EXACTLY THE SAME IN NATURE. THE FIRST OCCURRED ON A TRIP FROM COLORADO TO SALINA KS. OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, I THOUGHT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER, WHICH MADE MOST OF THE TRIP COMPLETELY MISERABLE BY THE WAY, HOWEVER WITHIN 6 MONTHS ANOTHER POWER WINDOW FAILURE OCCURRED AND JUST THE OTHER DAY THE THIRD. I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT SO MANY PERSONS HAVE LODGED THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THESE FAULTY COMPONENTS AND FORD MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE YET THEY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A FORD F150 V8 5.4 TRITAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN IN THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SCARED ME AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY DRIVERS SIDE E WINDOW DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE WINDING ROAD. IT CRASHED DOWN INTO THE DOOR SCARING ME AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT THIS IS PROBLEM MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS ARE HAVING AND NOT JUST A FLUKE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SOMEONE'S DEATH. *TR

FORD 2004 F150 CREWCAB DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS IN OUR FORD F150 EXTENDED CAB HAVE GONE DOWN NEVER TO COME UP AGAIN. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THE OPEN WINDOW WITH NO WAY TO CLOSE IT CERTAINLY PROVIDED FOR POSSIBLE INJURY ESPECIALLY TODAY AS THE THIRD ONE BROKE JUST BEFORE A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM WITH STRONG WINDS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE BEFORE THE BOTTOM FELL OUT. *TR

2 DIFFERENT POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE GONE OUT ON MY 2004 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED YOU HAVE REQUESTED FORD TO RECALL F-150'S FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.... TISK TISK, CAN'T ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM? *TR

I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED 4 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I SEE 100'S OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AND DOES NOT ROLL UP. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR ON DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FAILURE. THE WINDOW WORKED PROPERLY THEN WHEN I HIT THE SWITCH TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP I HEARD A LOUD POP THEN THE WINDOW FELL. RIGHT BEFORE I DROVE INTO A VERY HEAVY RAIN STORM. WILL NEED A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR. *TR

WITHIN A ONE YEAR SPAN OF TIME I HAVE HAD TWO WINDOW REGULATORS/MOTORS BREAK ON MY 2004 F-150 EXTENDED CAB. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE FACTORS AFFECTING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. BOTH TIMES I JUST SIMPLY WENT TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW, HEARD A POP AND THEN MY WINDOW BEGAN TO SLIDE DOWN. I HAD TO USE CARDBOARD TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOOR. BOTH TIMES THE REGULATOR AND MOTOR HAD TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WINDOW ROLLED UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HEAR A LOUD POP LIKE A ROCK BEING THROWN AT THE WINDOW. PASSANGER SIDE REAR WINDOW SLOWLY STARTS TO SLIDE DOWN INTO THE DOOR BY ITSELF. DOESN'T GO BACK UP. *TR

WINDOWS IN F-150 OUR FAILING. CABLE JUST SNAPS AND THEY FALL QUICKLY INTO DOOR. THREE OUT OF FOUR WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN IN MY TRUCK. THE FIRST OCCURRED DURING A DOWN POUR. THIS WAS QUITE A SURPRISE AND I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE THIRD AND LAST OCCURRENCE OCCURRED JUST LAST WEEK WHILE ON A BUSINESS TRIP. TWO OF THE THREE INCIDENTS WERE EXTREMELY DISTRACTING, ONE OCCURRED WHILE PARKED. BASED ON MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEALER, SEARCH RESULTS ON THE INTERNET, AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE I'M CONCERNED ANYONE WITH A CHILD THAT REMOVES THEIR RESTRAINTS WHILE IN MOTION MIGHT ENCOUNTER THE SAME ISSUE. ONE OF MY WINDOWS IN THE BACK WAS BROKEN BUT DID NOT DROP DOWN UNTIL IT WAS TOUCHED BY A CO-WORKER, AND DROPPED VERY FAST. THANK GOODNESS THIS DID NOT HAPPENED BY A CHILD WHO UNRESTRAINED THEMSELVES WHILE MOVING. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 WINDOW REGULATORS FAILURE, MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL IT UP. *TR

2004 F-150 FX4 - DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FALL DOWN DUE TO CABLE - REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY . REAR PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOWS FELL DOWN WITHIN A WEEK APART DUE TO CABLE COMING OFF TRACKS, OR ROLLERS. NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF IT COULD BE A MALFUNCTION. DEALERS CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE GENERALLY AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT, AS THEY ARE RARELY USED, ESPECIALLY AT THE PRICE THEY CHARGE. I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS TO FORD FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, OR IS THIS A CLUNKER THEY WANT YOU TO TRADE FOR A NEW CLUNKER. *TR

THE POWER WINDOWS ON MY F-150 HAVE FAILED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH ONE WINDOW FAILING TWICE. A FAMILY MEMBER WAS DRIVING THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO WRECK THE VEHICLE. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE MALL. IT IS EVIDENT BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT FORD IS NOT TAKING THIS PROBLEM AS SERIOUS AS THEY SHOULD. *TR

2004 FORD F150 WITH 4.6 ENGINE. 140,616 MILES. #2 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF HEAD. HAD TO HAVE HELI-COIL INSERT INSTALLED. *TR

I, LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS OF CONCERNED CONSUMERS, HAVE EXPERIENCED FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2004 FORD F-150. LAST NIGHT, MY REAR WINDOW BROKE WHEN TRYING TO ROLE IT UP. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, MY DRIVER WINDOW BROKE WHEN I WASN'T EVEN USING THE WINDOW OR NEAR THE TRUCK. I JUST WALKED OUT TO MY TRUCK WITH THE WINDOW DOWN - THINKING SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY TRUCK. WHEN COMPLAINING TO FORD, THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE GUY AT THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID HE HAD THE SAME TRUCK AT THE TIME AND HAD ALREADY REPLACED 3 ON HIS TRUCK. AS FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM WHEN DOING THE $350 REPAIR, HE TOLD ME THE REPAIR IS THE SAME AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WOULD REPEAT OVER TIME. PAYING OVER $30,000 FOR A TRUCK AND HAVING WINDOWS BREAKING LIKE THIS IS ABSURD. FOR FORD TO REFUSE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS MORE ABSURD. CONSUMERS NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR

NO CRASHES JUST INCIDENTS OF WINDOW FAILURE ON F-150. ALL WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP. IT IS AN OBVIOUS FORD DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE ACTUAL PART IN QUESTION IS A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE, BUT THE REPAIR RUNS ON AVERAGE $400.00 PER WINDOW FOR REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH REGULATOR WORKS FINE. *TR

2004 FORD F150 I HAVE HAD THREE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED AND NOW THE FORTH ONE HAS BROKEN. FIRST TWO WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE THIRD WASN'T. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON IT. OF COURSE FORD WONT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I DRIVE A 2004 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW THE WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP FAILING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ALL 4 DOORS IN MY TRUCK MORE THAN ONCE. I HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE 2 OF THEM AND DUE TO THE HIGH COST I AM REPAIRING THEM THE BEST I CAN NOW. THE INCIDENTS STARTED MARCH OF 2007 (JUST WHEN THE WARRANTY IS UP), WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT YOU WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. A LOUD NOISE WILL OCCUR AND THE WINDOW FALLS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THE PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS IS THAT THE CABLE SYSTEM DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH THIS, SO PLEASE GET FORD TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IS INJURED. THERE WAS NO INJURIES OR OTHER MISHAPS DUE TO THESE FAILURES YOU COULD CALL THESE NEAR MISSES. THESE FAILURES COULD CAUSE INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO OTHER CARS ON THE ROADS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TWO REAR WINDOWS AND DRIVERS SIDE FRONT GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOWS FRAME. EXPOSED FRAGMENTS OF GLASS INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATORS AT AN EXPENSE OF $713.00. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 65,000.

2004 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW HAS HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL SINCE 2008. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 9/2/09. THE OTHERS WERE IN APRIL OF 2008. IN EACH INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A COMMUTER PARKING LOT WHEN WE ARRIVED TO SEE THAT THE WINDOW(S) WERE DOWN AND WOULD NOT ROLL UP. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE ARE NOT ACTUALLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE WINDOW WERE TO DROP WHILE DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER WITH A SMALL CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM AND FIX IT FOR FREE. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AT THE DEALER. OUR PARTICULAR TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 45,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK HAVE BROKEN. EACH TIME THE PART BROKE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE WINDOW JUST SUDDENLY SLAMS DOWN INTO THE FRAME OF THE DOOR, AND CAN NO LONGER BE RETURNED TO THE "UP" POSITION. I AM CERTAIN THE LAST OF MY FOUR WINDOWS WILL SOON BREAK AS WELL. HOPEFULLY NOT DURING A MONSOON RAINSTORM. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATES OF THESE BREAKAGES ARE: 03-03-08, 09-03-08 AND LASTLY 9-01-09. I WILL ONLY LIST THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BELOW. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP AND SLOWLY BEGAN TO FALL DOWNWARD WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE DOOR RIGHT NEXT TO MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT. THIS IS THE 4TH WINDOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IN MY 2004 F-150 LARIAT FELL DOWN IN THE DOOR WHILE TRAVELING 35MPH DOWN THE ROAD. IT MADE A VERY LOUD THUMP SOUND BEFORE IT FELL. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2004 FORD 150 4 TIMES! THE DEALER CHARGES ME $400 TO REPLACE EACH TIME. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A DEFECT. RESEARCH ON THE WEB REVEALS OTHERWISE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

NO ACCESS TO SPARE TIRE: 2004 FORD F-150 "HERITAGE" (2003 BODY STYLE) SPARE STORED UNDER TRUCK BED LOWERS USING "KEY" AND WINCH.THE WINCH AND KEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE VIA A "STAR SHAPED" INDENTATION. IF THIS DOES NOT ENGAGE ONE CANNOT LOWER THE SPARE TIRE FOR USE. THE REPLACEMENT (FORD REFUSES TO PAY FOR)COMES RE-DESIGNED SO THAT ONE ACTUALLY INSERTS THE LOWERING ROD INTO THE WINCH.THERE IS NO "STAR" TO STRIP OUT OR BE WORN DOWN. WITH A FLAT TIRE ON A BUSY ROAD AND ONE UNDER THE TRUCK TRYING TO ACCESS A SPARE TIRE CONSTITUTES A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. FORD HAS SOLD THE RE-DESIGN AS A REPLACEMENT AND THIS IN ITSELF IS AN ADMISSION OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT DESIGN. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THEY SIMPLY CUT THE TIRE FREE AND REPLACE THE WINCH AT CUSTOMER COST. *TR

2004 FORD F-150 CREWCAB WHILE DRIVING( SATURDAY, AUGUST 29TH 2009) MY PASSENGER REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR. AFTER FINDING IT IS CAUSED FROM A PLASTIC PART ON A WINDOW REGULATOR I ALSO FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL HAVE TO BE A NUMBER OF INJURIES OR DEATHS BEFORE A RECALL IS PUT IN EFFECT HERE. I HAVE A FORD F150 SUPERCREW 2004, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DROPPED AND SHATTERED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH A LOUD NOISE AND SHATTERED GLASS. I THOUGHT I WAS SHOT AT, AT THE TIME AND WAS VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NOT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT KILLING AND INJURING MANY PEOPLE. KIDS WERE CRYING AND ALL INSIDE VEHICLE WERE VERY UPSET. AFTERWARDS I REMOVED THE WINDOW GLASS AND THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND THE PROBLEM IS THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE CONTROL CABLES IN PLACE. THEY APPEAR TO BE CHEAP AND FRAGILE AND OBVIOUSLY BREAK EASILY AND FOR NO REASON, LETTING THE CABLES COME OUT OF THEIR GUIDES AND THEREFORE DROPPING THE WINDOW UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE TAKEN NUMEROUS PICTURES IF ANYONE FROM FORD, NHTSA OR ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. THIS INCIDENT REALLY SCREWED UP A OTHERWISE GREAT DAY BECAUSE OF SHODDY ENGINEERING AND QUALITY FROM A AMERICAN CAR COMPANY (FORD). I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING AND REPLACING THIS WINDOW REGULATOR MYSELF AT A COST OF $187 + TAX + TIME + INCONVENIENCE WITH NO ASSURANCE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT AND PASSENGER REAR GLASS FALLEN INTO DOOR. WILL NOT RESPOND TO ELECTRIC WINDOW BUTTON. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2004 F150 WHEN SHE HEARD A 'POP' TYPE NOISE, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS COMPLETELY STARTLING AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AT REDUCED SPEED WHEN IT OCCURRED AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. IT DID SCARE HER AS IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED . SHE CALLED AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT SO I CALLED MY MECHANIC. HIS KNOWN REPAIR HISTORY FOR THE F150 INDICATES THAT THE NOISE AND THE SUDDEN WINDOW DROPPING IS THAT OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKING IN THE DOOR. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND FORD HAS UNDERGONE 3 REVISIONS, OR IS ON THEIR 3RD MODEL OF THAT WINDOW REGULATOR AND THIS IS A DANGER TO ALL WHO DRIVE WHEN THIS OCCURS AND QUITE POSSIBLY A DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD DUE TO A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT OCCURRING. . THIS PRODUCT MUST BE RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN AS NO WINDOW SHOULD DO THIS. I WANT FORD MOTOR TO REPLACE BOTH MY WINDOW REGULATORS, B/C IF IT HAS HAPPENED TO ONE, IT WILL PROBABLY SOON HAPPEN TO THE OTHER. AND WHEN MY MECHANIC SAYS THE TRACK RECORD TO REPAIR THIS WILL COST A PERSON $250 - 400, THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

POWER WINDOWS DROP INTO DOOR. *TR

DRIVERS WINDOW SQUEALS WHEN OPERATING THE POWER WINDOW. SAME SOUND MADE BY OTHER WINDOWS OF PERSONNEL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AFTER THE SOUND STARTED. JUST WAITING FOR DEFECT FAILURE IN INDIANA. *TR

WINDOW ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES HAVE FALLEN WHILE DRIVING. FORD F150 2004. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATOR CABLES. THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE, FAIL AND SNAP WITH AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG. THE ONE ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR WINDOW FAILED ON 07/17/08 AT 23,446 MILES WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT MY DOOR, CAUSING ME JUMP AND SWERVE IN MY LANE. THE ONE ON MY FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW DOOR FAILED ON 08/24/09 AT 30,779 MILES GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS OCCURRING TO MANY PEOPLE. THIS PIECE IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY FORD BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2004 FORD F350. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR MELTED. THE WIRES AND THE CPS SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THE REPAIRS WERE $653.00. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 05V270000 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,005 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,589.

3 OF THE 4 WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE FORD F150 TRUCK HAVE GONE OUT IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. EACH TIME IT COSTS ABOUT $350 TO REPLACE THE PART. AS THE FAILURES OCCUR, YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AS THE SWITCH IS ACTIVATED, FOLLOWED BY A CASCADE OF BROKEN PIECES FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR SOMEWHERE. THEN THE WINDOW GOES NEITHER UP NOR DOWN. IF YOU CHECK SOME OF THE AUTO FORUMS, THIS IS A FREQUENT COMPLAINT FOR THE 2004 MODEL. BY THE TIME IT IS ALL DONE, IT WILL COST ME $1200 OR MORE. THE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE!!!!!! FORD SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2004 F150 TRUCK WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, BIG LOUD POP THEN THE WINDOW CRASHED I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE AND THERE ARE OVER 1000 COMPLAINTS SAME SITUATION. THE REGULATORS NEED TO BE RECALLED INSTANTLY. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS FALLEN INTO DOOR AND NOW WON'T ROLL BACK UP. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. INVESTIGATION OF THE CAUSE BY INTERNET DISCUSSION GROUP REVEALS NUMEROUS SAME COMPLAINTS FROM FORD F150 OWNERS SUGGESTING A COMMON DEFECT THAT REQUIRES RECALL. *TR

2004 FORD F150 CREWCAB POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. THE FIRST ONE TO GO WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WAS THE DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW AND SCARED ME SO MUCH THAT I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT. TWO WEEKS AGO, THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I TOOK THE FIRST FAILURE TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME APPROXIMATELY $250.00 TO REPAIR. I CALLED ON THE RECENT ONE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $385.00. I HAVEN'T FIXED THE CURRENT ONE BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO. *TR

2004 F150 WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPS INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME A DIFFERENT WINDOW FAILED IN MY TRUCK. SEE THIS LINK FOR OTHERS WHO ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2004/WINDOWS_WINDSHIELD/WINDOW_DOES_NOT_ROLL_UP.SHTML I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET, CAN'T AFFORD IT RIGHT NOW. THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN MY CASE, BUT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND MY PASSENGER, BUT I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR REGULATOR BROKE WHILE DRIVING. SECOND ONE IN A YEAR AND A HALF. TRUCK HAS ONLY 39,000 MILES ON IT. $398.00 TO FIX IT THE FIRST TIME $475.00 TO FIX IT THE SECOND TIME. FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL F-150 DOOR REGULATORS OR HELP WITH THE COST OF REPLACING THEM. *TR

AS MANY OTHERS, I TOO HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 WITH DEFECTIVE POWER WINDOWS. THE REGULATOR IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS BROKEN TWICE AND THE REGULATOR IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS BROKEN ONCE. FORD CHARGES $400 TO REPAIR IT. THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THAT THE DEFECTIVE PIECE IS A PLASTIC WHEEL WITH A CABLE. THE PART ALONE COST $190. 2004 WAS THE YEAR THE FORD REDESIGNED THE F-150. THEY OBVIOUSLY ENGINEERED A CHEAPLY MADE ELECTRIC WINDOW REGULATOR AND ARE AWARE OF IT BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE PART. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO UPHOLD ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING QUALITY PRODUCTS. IN FIVE YEARS, I HAVE ONLY LOWERED THE REAR WINDOW MAYBE FIVE TIMES. SO THE PROBLEM IS NOT OVERUSE. IT'S SIMPLY POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE DURING HER ANNUAL SCHOOL MEET THE PARENTS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I TRIED PROCEEDED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW, BUT JUST HEARD A CHAIN LIKE NOISE WITH NO RESULT. I THOUGHT, SOMETHING BROKE JUST LIKE THAT. WEIRD. AFTER READING A COUPLE OF BLOGS LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT ALONE. THIS IS HOW I CAME TO THIS WEBSITE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON VACATION TRAVELING WHEN TWO OF MY WINDOWS FELL AND BROKE INSIDE MY TRUCK. I WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT MY WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED. THE REPAIRS COST 1200 DOLLARS. THREE WEEKS LATER I HAD ANOTHER WINDOW FALL AND SHATTER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS COST ANOTHER 600 DOLLARS. THEN TWO DAYS AGO AUGUST 17, 2009 THE DRIVERS SIDE FELL WHILE DRIVING . I WAS ABLE TWO CATCH WINDOW BEFORE IT FELL INTO DOOR AND SHATTERED. I HAVE CALLED FORD MOTOR CO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE GOTTEN PASSED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER WITHOUT ANY RESULTS . THE DEALER HAS BEEN NO HELP AT ALL EITHER. I ALMOST CRASHED MY TRUCK DO TO THE WINDOWS SHATTERING AND HOW SCARED MY FAMILY WAS WHEN GLASS SHATTERED ALL OVER THEM. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE 2004 FORD F 150 CREW CAB TRUCKS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE HELP ME AND THE THOUSANDS OF TRUCK OWNERS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, WINDOW WENT DOWN AND WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. TRYING TO FIX MYSELF, BUT WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE PARTS FROM FORD. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 F150 XLT SUPER CREW WITH 69K MILES. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F-150 FX4. I HAVE HAD THE REGULATORS ON BOTH MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. BOTH WENT OUT AT SEPARATE TIMES BUT BOTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK GOD WHEN THIS OCCURRED I DIDN'T HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AS THE WINDOW FELL SO HARD IT COULD HAVE SHATTERED ON THEM. THIS IS MY 4TH FORD VEHICLE AND MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A TRUE FORD FAMILY FOR YEARS MY FATHER WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANOTHER WAY. IT IS JUST TRULY SAD THAT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE AND FAULTY PRODUCT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. IF NOT I'M SURE THEY WILL LOSE MANY FORD FAMILIES AND CUSTOMERS OVER THIS. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. *TR
