2004 Ford F-150 complaints

WINDOW ON THE FORD F150 2004 MODEL. WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WILL NOT ROLL UP, GRINDING NOISE. NEEDS A NEW REGULATOR BUT YOU MUST BUY THE MOTOR ALSO. CANNOT FIND A USED ONE BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS TRUCKS AND YOU HAVE TO BUY BRAND NEW. COST $400 TO HAVE FIXED! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE HAS BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL TA TIRES, SIZE 275/65/R18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE DRASTICALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BELT INSIDE THE TIRE HAD ROTTED AND BEGAN SEPARATING FROM THE TIRE. THE TIRES HAD NOT YET BEEN REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 40,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY SLIPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ENTIRELY. THE REPAIR WORK WAS NOT PERFORMED AT THAT TIME. FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. HE BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, IN WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,900.

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THREE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2004 FORD F-150 FOUR DOOR PICKUP HAVE FAILED. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONSUMER RECALL. FORD IS COVERING UP THE PROBLEMS I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OVER 1000 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. *TR

2004 FORD F150 PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE WINDOW WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PART REPLACED YET, FORD SAYS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. *TR

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP, RIGHT REAR WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. THE FIX IS A NEW REGULATOR. *TR

2004 F150 4.6LTR ENGINE. SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT #3 CYLINDER 64865 MILES. ORIGINAL FACTORY PARTS. SPOKE DIRECTLY TO FORD MOTORS THEY ACT AS IF THIS IS MY FAULT. THE PARTS HAVE NEVER BEEN CHANGED. FORD TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY BECAUSE THIS IS A MAINTANENCE PART. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM FOR FORD. BUT THEY WONT HONOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MECHANICAL FAILURE DUE TO BAD DESIGN. IT COST 600.00 TO FIX AND I BELEIVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY FORD DUE TO THE NUMBER OF INSTENCES. THERE WERE TWO TRUCKS FIXED THE SAME DAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND AGAIN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE RESOLVED. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRIE ABOUT A SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE FUEL KEEPS FLOWING INTO THE CYLINDER AND WHEN IGNIGHTS FLAMES FLY OUT THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG HOLE. QUIT ACTING LIKE TH IS IS NOT A PROBLEM AND RECALL THESE POOR DESINGED PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT. *TR

12/2008 - PASSENGER'S REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED ALLOWING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN. 6/24/2009 - DRIVER'S REAR WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED ALLOWING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN. 6/26/2009 - DRIVER'S FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND WINDOW FELL RAPIDLY INTO DOOR. NOISE CAUSED SCARE THAT MADE DRIVER SWERVE ALMOST COLLIDING WITH VEHICLE IN ADJOINING LANE. 12/2008 REPLACED UNIT. 6/2009 - NO REPAIRS MADE YET. *TR

ON JUNE 29, 2009 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY CITY STREET THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING APPEARED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THERE WAS NO NOISE OR ANY INDICATION OF THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT HAD OCCURRED. THE ENGINE REVVED WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAR TRAFFIC LANES AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED DOWN INTO SECOND GEAR AS I SLOWED TO SEE IF THIS HAD ANY EFFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED AND I PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS IN STANDARD OPERATING RANGE. I THEN DISENGAGED THE OVERDRIVE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE FOUND THE OVERDRIVE CLUTCH PACK FAILED. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, DOES NOT TOW ANYTHING AND IS DRIVEN TO AND FROM WORK, 30 MILES EACH WAY. THE REPAIR IS $2500.00 FOR A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 69,700 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS STANDARD EQUIPMENT FROM FORD WAS NOT DESIGNED TO PERFORM AT AN ADEQUATE PERFORMANCE LEVEL AS EXPECTED FROM A CONSUMER. THE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASE NEW FORD VEHICLES SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT THE PRODUCT TO LAST LONGER THAN THE PAYMENTS ONE MAKES ON THE NEW VEHICLE! *TR

THIS IS REGARDING OUR REAR SEATBELTS FAILING ON OUR 2004 FORD F-150 1. MY WIFE PUTTING OUR CAR SEATS BACK IN THE TRUCK 2. TWO SEATBELTS FELL APART, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH A NUT HOLDING THEM CAME LOOSE 3. FORD WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER ANY WARRANTY SINCE I'M OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY TIME. IN MY MIND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR A LIFETIME WARRANTY. BOTH OF THESE SEATBELTS WERE CONNECTED TO 2 OF OUR BABY SEATS; AT ANY TIME WE COULD HAVE SIMPLY HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY BOTH WOULD HAVE COME LOOSE. I'M SURPRISED THEY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN ACCIDENT OCCURS TO MAKE IT A RECALL. *TR

THERE IS ALREADY A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM BUT FORD SHOULD REALLY RECALL THE CAM PHASERS ON THE 2004 AND NEWER F150'S. MOST PEOPLE IN THIS ECONOMY CANNOT AFFORD TO THROW 2 GRAND INTO THERE CAR TO HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT FIXED AND FORD WON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS FORD'S IN THE PAST AND WILL NEVER BUY ONE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF BEING A GOOD COMPANY. I'M SURE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS ON THERE NUMBER ONE ENGINE THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO COVER IT AND DON'T CARE THAT THEY'LL LOOSE HALF THOSE CUSTOMERS. *TR

2004 FORD F150. I HAVE HAD 3 OF THE 4 WINDOW MOTOR/ REGULATORS STOP WORKING WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS APPROX 50K MILES. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS APPROX $250 EACH TIME AND IS A DEALER ONLY PART. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS THE SEPARATION OF BRAKE LINING FROM THE BRAKE SHOE ON THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM OF A 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW JUST FELL OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE POWER WINDOW UNIT HAD BROKEN. 7 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON AND IS A DEFECT BUT FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THEM. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN TO YOUR OTHER 2 WINDOWS AS WELL! $400 EACH TO REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 FX4. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK LAST SEPTEMBER AND IT HAS 42000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST WEEK MY WINDOW HAS BEEN MAKING A GRINDING SOUND LIKE MAYBE SAND IN THE PARTS WHEN I ROLL IT DOWN. TODAY THE WINDOW POPPED AND FELL DOWN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME OR ANY PASSENGERS. I TOOK THE DOOR PANEL OFF AND THE PIECES THAT LOOK BROKEN ARE PLASTIC. I REFUSE TO PAY $400.00 TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, 3 HOUSES AWAY, WHEN AN ONCOMING CAR CAME. I SWERVED MY PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR THEN STRUCK A MAILBOX. THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS DOWN. IN THE PROCESS, ON IMPACT, THE GLASS FROM THE MIRROR EXPLODED. WHEN THE MIRROR EXPLODED, ONLY THEN, THE SHATTERED GLASS FLEW INTO THE WINDOW CUTTING A VANE IN MY RIGHT ARM. I BLEED PROFUSELY FOR 20 MIN. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN THE BLEEDING BUT EVENTUALLY WENT TO MEDICAL CENTER THEN TO THE HOSPITAL. GLASS FLEW INTO AND FRAGMENTS OF GLASS PENETRATED THE SEATS IN THE VEHICLE AND CLOTHING ON THE BODY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 LARIAT SUPERCREW. ON 6/11/09 I ROLLED ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO AIR OUT THE VEHICLE AND THEN ROLLED THEM BACK UP AND HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW. THEN THE GLASS JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. ON 6/22/09, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE LEFT REAR WINDOW. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS OF FORD F-150S. I THEN CALLED FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN MAKE THEM BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE OBVIOUS DEFECTS. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 DOOR REGULATORS ON MY 2004 FORD F150. *TR

2004 FORD F-150... TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE HORRIBLY WHEN ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM (ONCE EVERY 2-3 DAYS?), BUT ONLY STOP S AFTER THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. MOST OF THE TIME THE PROBLEM ARISE WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING OVER A WASHBOARD, WHICH IS VERY UNNERVING WHEN TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. I HAVE REPEATEDLY HAD TO PULL OF THE INTERSTATE, STOP COMPLETELY (MAYBE TWICE), BEFORE THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, BUT NOT SURE YET, SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. NO INJURIES YET, BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS VERY UNSAFE AND WIDESPREAD. PROBLEM STARTED IN OCTOBER 2007, AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.*TR

DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILED ON MY 2004 FORD F150, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RAISE WINDOW. INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE IN RURAL AREA OF MISSOURI OVER 60 MILES FROM HOME, LUCKILY MY WIFE AND I WEREN'T DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 44 IN THE RAIN. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, SOMEONE COULD EASILY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE GLASS FALLS INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL, BECAUSE OF SOME TYPE OF WINDOW FAILURE. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR MANY OWNERS OF FORD F-150'S TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

2004 FORD F150 LARIAT CREW CAB (FOUR-DOUR) PICK-UP. HEARD A LOUD "POP" INSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW JUST FELL FROM THE UP POSITION BACK INSIDE THE DOOR LEAVING ME WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO CLOSE IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT WINDOW A ABOUT A YEAR PRIOR. I CURRENTLY HAVE 40000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE PREVIOUS EVENT HAPPENED AROUND 32000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND SCARED THE CRICKETS OUT OF ME!!! *TR

2004 FORD F-150 DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW MADE "POP" SOUND AND WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO DOOR FRAME - WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WITHOUT NOTICE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

THE PAINT ON MY 2004 FORD F150 IS BUBBLING AND RUSTING ON THE REAR QUARTER PANEL AND FORD REFUSES TO FIX IT DESPITE THE FACT THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE HAS BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL T/A TIRES, SIZE P245/65R17. WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ROTTING AN INCH DOWN FROM THE TREAD. HE EMAILED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE TIRES TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER DID NOT STATE WHY THE TIRES WERE ROTTING. ANOTHER DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TO NUMEROUS BF GOODRICH TIRES. THE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AT THIS TIME. UPDATED 07/16/09.*JB UPDATED 08/04/09 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEFECT EXTENDS AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF ALL 4 TIRES. UPDATED 08/05/09.*JB

TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY TOLD ME THEY SEE THIS ALOT INSTALLED INSERT FOR REPAIR 534.00 TOLD ME NOT TO USE TRUCK FOR TOWING ANYTHING ANYMORE.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO WAKE UP! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 WITH 39000 MILES ON IT , ONE DAY LAST WEEK I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR . THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW THAT FAILED SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW , I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER FRIENDS THAT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE 04 AND 06 MODEL TRUCKS . THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT WAS RAINING OR SNOW . I HAVE READ ON WEB SITES THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ALL FORD F150 TRUCKS AND FORD REFUSES TO START A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM , PLUS THEY CHARGE OVER $300 TO REPAIR THE REGULATOR. *TR

ON A SUNDAY, I WAS ON A SIDE STREET WHEN THE ENGINE WENT DEAD. I NOTICED THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. I CALLED THE WRECKER SERVICE AS IT WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. THE WRECKER DRIVER ARRIVED AND ASKED IF I HAD TRIED TO RESTART IT, WHICH I DIDN'T. I STARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 06/04/08. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ERROR NOR FIND ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER MODULE. ON 03/29/09, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY, I MIGHT HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES, THEN THE TRUCK STARTED UP AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON 04/01/09. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT DOING VARIOUS TESTS. THE COMPUTER SHOWED NOTHING. THEY FINALLY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAM THE PCM. I AGREED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST ME $484 TO REPAIR. I WAS LEERY OF DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY AS IF IT HAPPENS THERE, I'M SURE IF I CAN'T PULL OVER I WILL SURELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SUBSEQUENT CHECKS ON THE INTERNET FOUND THE IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE" TO ALLOW ONE TO SLOWLY, BUT SAFELY DRIVE TO A SAFE SPOT. MY TRUCK, AND MANY OTHERS, DO NOT GO INTO "LIMP MODE"; THEY JUST GO DEAD. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS DUE TO THIS DEFAULT. *TR

PASSENGER WINDOW WAS GRINDING WHEN GOING UP OR DOWN. FINALLY, IT CAME CRASHING DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS MORNING. STARTLED ME TO A POINT I COULD HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED ENOUGH TO LOSE CONTROL. *TR

2004 F150 FX4 5.4L ENGINE. BOTH OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE TRUCK HAD AROUND 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE WINDOWS JUST "FELL" AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORE F-150 CREWCAB. IN JUNE 2007 THE DRIVER WINDOW FAILED DURING OPERATION. IT WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR $262.20. IN MARCH 2008 THE PASSENGER WINDOW FAILED DURING SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SAME MECHANIC REPAIRED THE WINDOW FOR $266.91. IN JUNE 2009 THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FAILED DURING OPERATION. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE FAILED PART WITHIN THE REGULATOR AND ARE SEEKING TO REPAIR IT OURSELVES. WE ARE EAGERLY AWAITING THE REAR DRIVER WINDOW TO FAIL AND HOPE WE ARE NOT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN IN IT HAPPENS. *TR

I WAS RAISING THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW ON MY 2004 FORD F150 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. AT FIRST THE WINDOW STAYED IN PLACE ABOUT 3/4 CLOSED THEN IT DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND HE WAS HAPPY TO REPLACE IT FOR $388.32 + TAX. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE IT. AFTER I GOT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON BOTH THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS AND I CAN EXPECT THE REMAINING THREE WINDOWS TO FOLLOW SHORTLY. AS COMMON AS THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE I FEEL FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PART. *TR

FIRST NOTICED TICKING NOISE IN MY 2004 5.4L 3V V8 ENGINE. OIL WAS AT CORRECT LEVEL. I WENT DOWN A ROAD I ROUTINELY GO, AND STARTED HEARING A VERY LOUD CLANKING. SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE HOLE AND NOW TRYING TO FIX. HOPEFULLY WONT HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEAD. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS ENGINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!! THIS IS JUST THE ONE CYLINDER, BUT I HAVE 7 MORE! AM I GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS WITH ALL OF THEM? I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER REPAIR STATIONS SAY THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT AND THAT THEY HAD, OR HAVE BEEN THREATENED BY, A LAWSUIT FROM THE VEHICLES OWNER. THIS HAS ALREADY COST ME THE REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION COIL, A AN EXPENSIVE SPARK PLUG, AND A LOT OF DOWN TIME. *TR

HAVE HAD 2 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES ON ONE OF MY FORD TRUCKS AND 2 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES ON MY OTHER FORD TRUCK THAT MY DAUGHTER DRIVES. I AM DOWN TO 50% WORKING WINDOWS AND MY DAUGHTER IS AT 0%! HER LAST ONE OCCURRED 2 DAYS AGO WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND IT SCARED HER SO BAD, SHE ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD! MINE HAPPENED YESTERDAY! THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED, THE WINDOWS ARE BEING HELD UP WITH TAPE WHICH WON'T HOLD VERY LONG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2004 F-150 AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN IN TO THE DOOR. I HAD A FRIEND WITH THE SAME YEAR F-150 THAT HAD THIS HAPPEN SO I CALL HIM. HE SAID IT WOULD COST ME $450 TO REPAIR AT THE FORD PLACE AND THAT IS WAS A FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR. IN ADDITION, HE SAID THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THIS WAS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHY THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL. HE ALSO SAID THAT THIS WOULD VERY LIKELY HAPPEN TO THE OTHER WINDOWS IN THE TRUCK AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE, RESULTING IN THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FREE FALLING INTO DOOR CHANNEL. THE SOUND OF THE WINDOW FALLING AND THE SUDDEN RUSH AIR DISTRACTED ME AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS WAS THE 3RD WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE IN 2 YEARS. COST OF THE REPAIR WAS APPROX. $400. *TR

REAR WINDOW REGULATOR ON 2004 FORD F150 HAS FAILED TWICE IN LAST MONTH GIVING A LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW FALLING INTO THE DOOR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND NEARLY HAD ACCIDENT BOTH TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURE RAN TRUCK OVER CURB LOOKING FOR SOURCE OF NOISE FIRST TIME IF SHE HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I CAN GUESS WHERE THIS WOULD HAVE GONE. *TR

2004 FORD F150 CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. BURNED TO A TOTAL LOSS.

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150. JUST YESTERDAY I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND WENT TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND HEARD A POP AND THE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F-150. I WOULD HOPE THAT A RECALL SHOULD TAKE PLACE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF CLAIMS FROM F-150 OWNERS. *TR

FORD 2004 SUPERCREW PICKUP HAS NOW HAD 2 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES WITHIN MONTHS APART. LAST ONE WAS THE REAR WINDOW WHICH HAS PROBABLY NOT BEEN LOWERED MORE THAN 5 TIMES IF THAT MANY IN THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

FORD 2004 SUPERCREW PICKUP WITH 5.4L ENGINE. FACTORY SPARK PLUGS BREAK OFF WHEN TRYING TO DO NORMAL FACTORY SERVICE AND FORD WANTS CUSTOMER TO PAY LABOR CHARGES FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE BROKEN SPARK PLUGS. I WAS QUOTED $800. SPARK PLUGS SHOULD NOT BREAK OFF FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F150 TRUCK THAT MY DECEASED HUSBAND OWNED. HE PASSED IN 2006, THEREFORE THE TRUCK SITS IN MY GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. IT ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT. I DRIVE A 2004 MUSTANG. I WAS ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND, AND IT STARTED GRAVELING AND SUDDENTLY JUST FELL IN THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND IT COST $390.79 FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE REGULATOR AND GIVE IT AN OIL CHANGE. I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED IN IT EVEN THOUGH I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH. WHY IS THIS REGULATOR NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND I SEE THAT A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE EVENT OF FAILURE....THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR TO JUST COMPLETELY BREAK WITH NO WARNING LEAVING MY WINDOW DROPPING FROM THE COMPLETE UP POSITION. WE WERE JUST ARRIVING BACK TO MY VEHICLE FROM THE HOUSE AND THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED .... THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN RUNNING AT THE TIME. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAS A 2004 F150 AND IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008 HE HEARD A POPPING SOUND IN THE PASSENGER WINDOW - SHORTLY AFTER THAT... THE WINDOW FELL ABRUPTLY DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR AND I FELT IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN AT THAT TIME, BUT TOOK IT TO JUST BE A FLUKE OF SOME SORT. WELL A FEW DAYS AGO ON MAY 27TH, 2009 HE HEARD THE SAME POPPING SOUND, THIS TIME COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. TO MY DISBELIEF THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW - THE WINDOW FELL ABRUPTLY. THIS TIME I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE WEB FOR A RE-CALL AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE PARTS SHOULD BE RE-CALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE: THIS IS THE SECOND POWER REGULATOR FAILURE ON MY 2004 F150. FIRST REGULATOR WAS ON FRONT DRIVER WINDOW LAST YEAR. SECOND REGULATOR FAILURE WAS LAST WEEK ON PASSENGER WINDOW. REPAIR COST IS APPROX. $450 PER FAILURE. I HAVE A CREW CAB WITH FOUR WINDOW. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH F150 MODELS 2004 THROUGH 2008. THESE FAILURES CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. FIRST TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING WINTER. MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND HAD TO ENDURE SOME VERY COLD WIND DURING OUR RIDE HOME (LUCKY FOR US IT WASN'T RAINING). *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 WITH 3140 MILES. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL WITH NO WARNING, WHICH CAUSE ME TO ALMOST HIT ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT HAPPEN SO FAST THAT I THOUGHT I HAVE BEEN HIT THAT MADE ME LOSE MY BEEN ALERT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST HIT A CAR HEAD ON AND FELT SICK. I HAVE SEEN IN THE WEB JUST HOW BIG A PROBLEM FORD HAS WITH WINDOWS FALLING DOWN BUT YET THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE FORD OWNERS PAY $300 TO $400 EVERY TIME THE WINDOWS FALL AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FALL. IT WILL COME THAT SOMEBODY WILL BE HURT OR KILL IN AN ACCIDENT JUST BECAUSE FORD IN NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I DO HOPE THAT A SERIOUS INJURY IS NOT WHAT IT TAKES FOR FORD TO CORRECT THE WINDOW PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN AND WHEN I GOT IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT WORKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW FELL DOWN AS WELL. THEY SAID IT WAS THE REGULATOR ON THE WINDOW THAT BROKE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 37,500 MILES ON IT AND THE WINDOWS ARE NOT USED THAT MUCH. I AM AFRAID THAT BEFORE LONG THE OTHER TWO DOORS ARE ALSO GOING TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ONCE AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO GO AND HAVE IT FIXED AND FORD WILL NOT OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THE DOOR WINDOW ASSEMBLY. *TR

1. THE DRIVER'S FRONT WINDOW FAILED AND FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. IT WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. IT HAS NOT YET BEEN REPLACED. APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. AS A RESCUE WORKER I SEE HOW THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE WINDOW COULD SHATTER AND CAUSE A WRECK. *TR

THREE OF THE FOUR POWER WINDOWS IN MY 2004 FORD F150 HAVE HAD EXPERIENCED WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES WHILE DRIVING. ALL THREE HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON THE REGULATORS SHOULD HAVE FAILED FROM REGULAR USE. I CHECKED WITH FORD AND THERE IS NO RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN DESIGN TO LOSE 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS. *TR
