DRIVING DOWN MY STREET THE WINDOW JUST CRASHED DOWN! IT FELL SO FAST AND HARD THAT I HAD TO LOOK TO MY RIGHT SIDE TO SEE WHAT HIT ME! AT THAT POINT I REAR ENDED A CAR THAT SLOWED DOWN! ALL THIS IS DO TO A CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP THAT FAILED AND RELEASED THE WINDOW. *TR

ON MY 2004 FORD F150 XLT LARIAT SUPERCAB, THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW REGULATOR HAS NOW FAILED. THE DRIVER'S ONE WENT FIRST (WITHIN THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP), THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER ONE (A FEW MONTHS LATER) THEN THE REAR PASSENGER ONE ( ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE FIRST) AND NOW THIS. ALL FOUR REGULATORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED FROM THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED ONES. THIS LATEST ONE OCCURRED WHILE THE TRUCK SAT PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY UNOCCUPIED; ALL THE OTHERS HAPPENED ON THE ROADWAY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR TO BREAK. THE FIRST WAS THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MPH I HEARD A POP AND THEN AIR NOISE. (I SELDOM USE THE REAR WINDOWS.) THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE REGULATOR AND MOTOR BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL THE DEALER HAD IN STOCK. TODAY I HAD WINDOW DOWN ABOUT AN INCH WHILE PARKED. GOT IN TRUCK AND RAISED FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW AND HEARD POP. I KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM FROM LAST TIME AND WITH TALKING TO OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS. A FRIEND HAS THE SAME MODEL TRUCK AND HAS REPLACE THREE OF THE FOUR REGULATORS IN HIS FORD TRUCK. WHEN I BEGAN DRIVING THE WINDOW DROPPED. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN HARD OR OFF ROAD. THERE HAS TO BE SOME FLAW IN THESE REGULATORS. I AM 66 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODEL OF VEHICLES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THREAD FOR THESE FORD TRUCKS. *TR

Mileage: 57,000

I WAS DOING A DAY TRIP HAULING HORSES BY MYSELF WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO HEAD HOME WHEN I HEARD THIS TERRIBLE NOISE AND SOON WATCHED THE REAR RIGHT WINDOW DISAPPEAR AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I TOOK IT INTO FORD TODAY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $300 TO FIX BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE IN STOCK AND THAT IT WAS THE REGULATOR THAT WENT OUT. I HAD THEM CHECK THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW AS WELL AS IT WOULD GO DOWN BUT WOULD NOT GO UP USING THAT DOOR WINDOW SWITCH AND THAT THE SWITCH NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT WOULD BE $130 DOLLARS AND AGAIN PART WAS NOT IN STOCK SO COULD NOT REPLACE. SO WHEN I WENT IN TO GET MY TRUCK ALL OF A SUDDEN I FIND OUT THAT OTHER THAN THE OIL CHANGE WHICH I EXPECTED MY BILL JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND OIL CHANGE WAS OVER $190.00 AND MY WINDOWS WERE NOT FIXED YET AND NOT TOLD AHEAD OF TIME WHAT THE CHARGE MIGHT BE SO THE EXTRA $150 WAS TOTALLY NOT BUDGETS. BUT HAD TO PAY AS I NEEDED MY TRUCK TO GET HOME. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT MY BROTHER IN LAWS TRUCK ALSO A 2004 HAD A VIN NUMBER SET THAT FORD DID REPLACE THE REGULATOR BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. NOW THAT REALLY UPSET US A LOT ESPECIALLY FINDING OUT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT WE COULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE OTHER THREE WINDOWS. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO RECALLED ALL 2004 F150 DOOR REGULATORS BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF GLASS WAS TO BREAK IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE IN ROUTE. PLUS WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SO EVIDENTLY THE WARRANTY COMPANIES ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY EXCLUDE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR WINDOWS FAILED TO OPERATE AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE WINDOW MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

REPLACED TWO WINDOW REGULATORS IN VEHICLE. DRIVER'S WINDOWN AND PASSENGER WINDOW.

GOT INTO VEHICLE, STARTED, AND IMMEDIATELY LOUD POPPING SOUNDS CAME FROM UNDER THE ENGINE, AND WORSE WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. LUCKILY HAD 2 HOBBY MECHANICS, THAT I WORK WITH, COME TAKE A LOOK. THEY IMMEDIATELY DETERMINED THAT ONE OF MY SPARK PLUGS HAD BACKED-OUT. THEY TOOK THE COVER OFF AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE 1ST SPARK PLUG, AND LUCKILY THE THREADS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE. PUT SPARK PLUG BACK IN, AND VEHICLE STARTED FINE AFTER THAT. I TRAVEL 45 MILES ONE WAY TO/FROM WORK. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED. 2ND LUCK, NO REPAIR COST. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE DEALER WOULD HAVE CHARGED. IN ADDITION, 2 WEEKS LATER, I HAD THE 3RD (2 PREVIOUS WERE IN FRONT RIGHT & REAR DRIVER WINDOW) OUT OF 4 DOOR WINDOWS FALL INTO THE DOOR. THIS TIME IT WAS THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR - REGULATOR ASSEMBLY. LOUD BANG BEFORE THEY FELL. SCARED ME - THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD THROWN A LARGE ROCK AT MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 3RD TO FAIL WITHIN 8 MONTHS (LAST 2 ON THE SAME DAY IN JULY 2012). TOTAL REPAIR COST ON WINDOWS WAS $900.00. THERE IS STILL NO RECALL ON THE SPARK PLUG PROBLEM, AND THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS, ALTHOUGH HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD FOR COMPLAINT & REIMBURSEMENT, AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. IT'S VERY OBVIOUS, IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F150 4-DOOR P/U. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOW IN MY FORD F150 HAVE FALLIN AT DIFFERENT TIMES ( WINDOW REGULATOR ). FORD REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WERE NOT GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS WEEK MY 4TH WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL AGAIN WHILE IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. I ADVISED FORD THIS WAS UNSAFE AND HOW CAN ANYONE SECURE A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS. SOMEONE COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE IF THIS OCCURS DURING DRIVING AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

Mileage: 42,000

THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. *TR

Mileage: 84,885

ALL FOUR OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN IN THIS VEHICLE LETTING THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN AND SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN PARKED AT AND NOT AROUND THE VEHICLE, ALSO HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THE TRUCK AND THEY FALL DOWN WHILE TRAVELING DOWN ROAD. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCAB DOWN THE STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON MY WAY TO WORK. I ROLLED UP THE POWER WINDOWS AND HEARD A WEIRD SOUND FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR. I DECIDED TO ROLL IT BACK DOWN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE DOWN BUTTON, THE WINDOW JUST FELL RIGHT INTO THE DOOR. IT WAS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING AND COULD SEE HOW IT COULD CAUSE A WRECK IF IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, I GOT OUT TO CHECK IT OUT. I COULD STILL HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING, BUT I COULD HEAR PIECES OF GLASS AND KNEW THE WINDOW SHATTERED. *TR

Mileage: 80,200

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW, THIS IS THE FORTH TIME I HAVE TO HAVE WINDOW REPAIR ON MY TRUCK, PREVIOUS TIME BEFORE LAST ONE, WAS IN JULY ONLY 4 MONTHS AGO I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR WINDOW, AND NOW LAST TIME PAID $425 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THAT VERY SAME WINDOW AND THIS TIME IS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. WINDOW WILL MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND DROP, UNABLE TO BRING IT UP OR CLOSED AGAIN. *TR

Mileage: 113,000

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY A LOUD BANG AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FALLS INTO THE DOOR AND WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR THREE MONTHS AGO WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS AND THE WINDOWS FALL INSIDE THE DOOR. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATORS. FORD IS CHARGING BETWEEN $250 - $500 TO FIX THE REGULATORS PER WINDOW. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO FIX THE SAME WINDOW MORE THAN ONCE. *TR

Mileage: 54,000

TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO NOW I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE WINDOW JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW JUST FALLING! TWO DAYS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE WINDOWS GOING DOWN WHEN YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT IS SCARY. THESE WINDOWS UNEXPECTEDLY GOING DOWN CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THESE WINDOW SYSTEMS. I HAVE BOTH ORIGINAL FORD PARTS THAT CAME OUT OF THE DOOR PANELS. I CALLED FORD, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE BOTH WINDOWS OPENED AND DROPPED INTO THE DOOR PANEL INDEPENDENTLY. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE FAILURE, THE WINDOW REGULATORS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COMPONENT WAS MANUFACTURED OF PLASTIC AND COULD FAIL EASILY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED TWO WINDOW REGULATORS AND MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 08/28/12*LJ UPDATED 08/29/12

I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT LETTING MY CAR COOL DOWN BEFORE I ROLLED UP THE WINDOWS AND ONCE I PROCEEDED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW IT MADE A LOUD THUMP/POP NOISE AND THE WINDOW FELL BETWEEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORWAY. I HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC FIX IT ON 6/30 AND RIGHT AFTER LEAVING HIS SHOP, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A LOUD NOISE COME FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE (AND ALMOST WRECKED INTO A PARKED CAR DUE TO THE NOISE!) AND STOPPED TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED. I TRIED THE WINDOW AND IT SLAMMED RIGHT BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. NOW TWO WINDOWS AND $800.00 LATER I HAVE THEM FIXED DUE TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR GOING OUT IN EACH ONE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS I CALLED FORD AND THEY WOULD DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. PLEASE RECALL THIS AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *JS

Mileage: 78,000

THE WINDOW/MOTOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED IN BOTH MY DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON HIGHWAYS OR TOLL ROADS WHEN THE WINDOWS FELL IN THE DOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING FOR REMEDIES ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. WHY HASN'T FORD OFFERED A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE. WHEN MY DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW FELL I WAS DOING 50 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

Mileage: 98,000

I HAVE A 2004 F150 WITH 22,000 MILES ON IT AND EVERY WINDOW REGULATOR IN THE TRUCK HAS GONE OUT AND SEND THE WINDOW CRASHING DOWN. THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE. FORD WILL NOT RECALL IT, IT IS A KNOW ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME, "LADY ITS YOU AND THOUSANDS LIKE YOU." *TR

Mileage: 12,000

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WINDOW DISAPPEARED STARTLING ME. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR WHO WERE FRIGHTENED BY THE GUSH OF WIND. IT SURPRISED ME AND I WAS NOT CERTAIN WHAT HAPPENED MY WINDOW WAS JUST GONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. APPARENTLY AFTER MY RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT FORD HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH ITS WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HOPE FOR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HARM IS DONE THAT FORD WILL OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE RECALL TO REPAIR THE WINDOW MECHANISM THAT FAILS. IF FORD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING THAN NHTSA SHOULD. *TR

IN MY SUPER-CAB - WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT RAISE BACK UP WHILE IN ROUTE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS LOUD AND SHOCKING! THIS OCCURRED OUT OF WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME AT 53,354 MILES. YESTERDAY (3/4/12), THE PASSENGER WINDOW DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING AND STARTLED MYSELF AND MY WIFE. THIS PRESENTS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNSECURED SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER CONDITIONS WE EXPERIENCE HERE IN THE NORTHWEST. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS MODEL, 2004-2008. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE DRIVERSIDE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON 12/01/11 ALL I HEARD WAS A LOUD POP THEN NO WINDOW ALMOST WRECKED CAUSE OF THE SOUND THEN A WEEK LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME THING BUT AFTER I TRIED TO PUT THE WINDOW UP AFTER I GOT BACK HOME THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE STILL ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS I READ ONLINE THAT GOES BACK 5YRS WHY ISN'T NO ONE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE WAS A "POP" SOUND, FOLLOWED BY THE WINDOW CRASHING DOWN INTO THE DOOR. UPON INSPECTION THE POINT OF FAILURE IS A SMALL PULLEY ATTACHED TO THE WINDOW LIFT MOTOR. IT IS WEAKLY DESIGNED WITH HIGH TENSION FOCUSED AT 3 STRESS POINTS INSTEAD OF DISTRIBUTED ABOUT THE WHOLE PULLEY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND CAN STARTLE A DRIVER CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, FURTHERMORE, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE WINDOW COULD HAVE FALLEN INTO OR OUT OF THE TRUCK CAUSING INJURY. *TR

THIS REPORT IS FOR THE SECOND FAILED WINDOW REGULATOR FOR MY 2004 FORD F-150 FX4 DRIVER SIDE. THESE REPAIRS ARE COSTLY AND HIGHLY REPORTED.

THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT I HAVE FILED WITH NHTSA FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT BUT ADDITIONAL OCCURRENCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 1000 AT NIGHT AND TRAVELING 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SHOT, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW DROPPING INTO THE DOOR. THE SOUND WAS SO STARTLING THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FORD KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE A DEFECT WITH THEIR WINDOW REGULATORS; HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS THE THIRD WINDOW I HAVE HAD FAIL IN THE EXACT MANNER ON MY 2004 F-150. A CASUAL SEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THAT FORD HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT DEFAULT AND IS REFUSING TO MAKE A REPAIR OR RECALL TO ADDRESS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS AND FORCE FORD TO DO WHAT A RESPONSIBLE AUTOMAKER SHOULD UNDERTAKE ON THEIR OWN IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE MOTORING PUBLIC. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAIN BOULEVARD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SLID DOWN WITH A LOUD SOUNDING BANG. THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK. HOWEVER, WHAT SEEMS TO BE A SPRING LOADED MECHANISM, MUST HAVE BROKEN CAUSING THE WINDOW TO COLLAPSE DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD, IT CAUSED A NERVOUS REACTION IN ME WHICH RESULTED IN PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO ONE SIDE. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES TO THAT SIDE AND I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT MY STEERING TO GET BACK INTO MY LANE. AS IF ONE EXPERIENCE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN 9/1/11. THIS TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE REPEATED EXCEPT THAT THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH ON I-25. I EXPECTED TO FIND A RECALL TO THIS DIS-FUNCTIONAL MECHANISM. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING ALMOST BACK TO BACK WITHIN A 6 WEEK PERIOD? *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: AUGUST, 2009 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STARTED DECENDING WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING THE BUTTON. I WAS THEN UNABLE TO USE THE WINDOW AGAIN. MY INFANT SON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT NEXT TO THE WINDOW AND IT WAS RAINING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. SECOND INCIDENT: JANUARY, 2010 ONCE AGAIN I WAS DRIVING AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WENT DOWN WITHOUT PROMPTING AND NEVER WORKED AGAIN. I AM AN ATTORNEY AND WAS ON MY WAY TO THE COURTHOUSE AND WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY CAR UNATTENDED FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND OBTAIN CONTINUANCES ON ALL OF MY CASES THAT DAY IN ORDER TO HAVE MY WINDOW REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND THE PART NEEDED REPLACED. THIRD INCIDENT: AUGUST, 2011 SAME SCENERIO, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 55 MPH WHEN HIS WINDOW DECENDED WITHOUT PROMPTING AND WE WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THE WINDOW WORK AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. BESIDES THE COST OF REPAIRS ($350.00 EACH WINDOW), I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAD AN INFANT BY THE WINDOW IN THE FIRST INCIDENT AND DRIVING AT SPEED THE WINDOW COULD HAVE SHATTERED. ALSO, ALL INCIDENTS OCCURED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND PROVED QUITE DISTRACTING. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LAST, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE WINDOW(S) GO BACK UP I HAD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE UNSECURED. *TT

ALL 4 WINDOWS REGULATORS BROKE WITHIN A SPAN OF 4 MONTHS. WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE A STEEL CABLE WHICH ADHERES TO A PLASTIC PULLEY--WHO DESIGNED THIS POOR COMPATIBILITY? COMMON SENSE WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO WEAR AND TEAR FOR ELECTRIC WINDOWS. VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE ACCEPT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH AS A CONSUMER IS UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO INFERIOR PRODUCTS USED. ALUMINUM OR ANOTHER TYPE OF METAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR THE PULLEY--DEFINITELY NOT PLASTIC. REPORTED TO FORD--CAN'T AND WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BUT TELL ME TO TAKE TO FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND PAY AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT FOR THE LABOR AND REGULATOR. I SPOKE WITH A LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER AND HE REVEALED TO ME THAT FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OF THEIR VEHICLES AND ALSO THE LINCOLNS BUT BECAUSE OF THE COST INCURRED BY ISSUING A RECALL THAT THEY CHOSE TO "WASH IT UNDER THE RUG". THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE EXCUSE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. 4 WINDOW REGULATORS IN A 4 MONTH SPAN TO BREAK--SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND BROUGHT TO FORD'S MANAGEMENT AND DESIGN DEPARTMENTS. *KB

FAILURE OF SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR IN TWO YEARS. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THIS TIME AND NEARLY SWERVED OFF THE ROADWAY AFTER I THOUGHT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD BEEN SHOT OUT.

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE: I HAVE NOW REPLACED 3 OUT OF 4 WINDOW REGULATORS. MY OUT OF POCKET COST IS SLIGHTLY OVER $900.00. THE FAILURES HAVE BEEN SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING.ONE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AT 55MPH. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND WEATHER COULD POSE A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. MORE IMPORTANT IS CONSUMER PROTECTION. THREE FAILURES IN JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS IS INDICATIVE OF MANUFACTURER USING SUBSTANDARD PARTS OR COMPONENTS. FORD SHOULD CORRECT THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMPENSATE THOSE WHO HAVE HAD TO BEAR THE COST OF REPAIR FOR SUBSTANDARD WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS. THE DATE OF THE FIRST AND SECOND INCIDENTS WERE CLOSE TO THE LISTED DATE THE MOST RECENT WAS SEPTEMBER 1 OF THIS YEAR.

I'M A 16 YEAR VETERAN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. SOMETIME IN APRIL 2011, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. THE WINDOW FALLING MADE A LOUD NOISE. I COULD HEAR THE WIND AND I LOOKED BACK AND DIDN'T SEE A WINDOW IN THE DOOR. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SOMEONE SHOT THE GLASS OUT. MY ATTENTION TO DRIVING WAS LOST FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I PULLED OVER AT THE FIRST PARKING LOT I SAW AND REALIZED THE GLASS WAS NOT BROKEN BUT HAD FALLEN INSIDE THE DOOR. TODAY 9/2/2011, I WAS REPAIRING THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL. I THOUGHT HOW IRONIC IS THIS. I DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASED THE PART AND RETURNED HOME. I HAVE FIXED BOTH WINDOW REGULATORS, BUT I FEEL THIS COULD CAUSE A TRAFFIC CRASH. I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR THIS REPAIR AND FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 F-150 CREW CAB FORD TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF THE 4 WINDOW REGULATORS IN THIS VEHICLE. EACH ONE HAS BROKEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FORD DEALERSHIPS REPLACED THEM AT A COST OF ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ALL THREE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR IS THE ONLY ONE SO FAR NOT TO BREAK. CURRENTLY IT IS MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. ALL THREE HAVE BROKEN WITHIN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS. THIS IS A GREAT EXPENSE TO ME AS WELL AS A GREAT DANGER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. ONE BROKE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AND THE OTHER ONE BROKE WHILE I WAS RAISING THE WINDOW UP FROM BEING DOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADMITS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DUE TO THEIR BEING A WIDE SCALE PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAKING. AT THE SAME TIME FORD REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE WINDOW REGULATORS AND BE FORCED TO REIMBURSE OWNERS OF THE EXPENSES FOR HAVING TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATORS.

I HEARD A LOUD POP (AS IF A GUN WAS BEING FIRED), WHICH STARTLED ME TO WHERE I SWERVED INTO THE LANE BESIDE ME. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR RIGHT BESIDE ME OR ELSE THIS WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I TURNED OUT TO BE SOMETHING WITHIN IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF MY DRIVERSIDE WINDOWS CONTROLS. THE WINDOW FELL DOWN AS SOON AS I HEARD THE POP. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT $400.00 TO FIX AND THAT THEY HAVE TO FIX THIS SORT OF PROBLEM ALL THE TIME ON THE SAME MAKES AND MODELS OF MY TRUCK. I THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS AT THIS TIME, SO I AM HAVING TO JUST DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT I DO NOT HAVE A WINDOW ON THE DRIVERSIDE ANYMORE. THIS WHOLE INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT DOES. *TR

MY 1 AND A HALF YR OLD SON AND I HAD JUST PULLED UP TO CHURCH. I ROLLED DOWN THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TO TALK TO A RELATIVE AND AS I PRESSED THE DOWN BUTTON I HEARD A LOUD POP. I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE NOISE WAS, SO I WENT TO QUICKLY ROLL THE WINDOW UP AND CHECK THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK. AS I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP, I REALIZED IT WAS THE WINDOW THAT MADE THE POP BECAUSE THE WINDOW QUICKLY FELL THE REST OF THE WAY INTO THE TRUCK. AS I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER OPTION, MY SON AND I HAD TO DRIVE 15 MILES HOME GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR IN THE COLD FEBRUARY NIGHT (I HAD TO BUNDLE HIM UP AS BEST AS I COULD) BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER OPTION FOR US TO GET HOME (AND THE WINDOW WOULD NOT STAY UP). AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE (AND TALKING TO FORD DEALERS) FOUND OUT IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND QUITE COMMON IN 2004 FORD F150 LARIATS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 - 70 MPH! 09/27/10 (63500 MILES) - DRIVING IN TOWN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE WINDOW. NO FORD DEALER IN OUR TOWN WE HAD TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES IN THE COLD OF OCTOBER WITH A PIECE OF CARDBOARD IN THE WINDOW (THAT KEPT MOVING AND CAUSING THE WINDOW TO CONTINUOUSLY FALL INTO THE TRUCK AND HAVING TO MAKE MANY STOPS ALONG THE WAY). SAME ISSUE - WINDOW REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. 04/10/11 (69000 MILES) - DRIVING HOME FROM CHURCH IN TOWN THE WINDOW STARTED TO FALL INTO THE TRUCK. AS THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, WE ARE 100% SURE IT IS THE WINDOW REGULATOR! SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE FORD DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER 2004 FORD F150 LARIAT TRUCK OWNERS! AGAIN, WE ARE VERY THANKFUL WE WERE NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH OUR LITTLE ONE IN THE BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER! VERY UNSAFE!

I HAVE A 2004 4-DOOR F150, AND HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE 3 WINDOW MOTORS, ONE IN EACH DOOR. THE 3RD ONE HAPPENED YESTERDAY. THE FIRST TWO HAPPENED BACK TO BACK IN 2010, SO IF THE PATTERN FOLLOWS, I'LL BE FORKING OUT MORE MONEY TO REPLACE THE FINAL ONE. ON THE FIRST 2 OCCURANCES, THE CAR WAS MOVING, AND THE WINDOWS JUST FELL DOWN. THE 3RD OCCURENCE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN, AND IF THESE WINDOWS FALL DOWN WHEN THEY ARE NEAR, IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN OF MINE. THERE IS A OBVIOUS SIGN THAT THESE WINDOW MOTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. I CAN UNDERSTAND 1 OF THEM BREAKING, BUT I'M GOING ON 3, AND JUST WAITING FOR THE FINAL ONE TO BREAK HERE SHORTLY! THEN AFTER READING ALL THE 2004/2005 F150 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS ISN'T JUST A COINCIDENCE AMONGST ALL F150 OWNERS! IT'S SAD THAT FORD CANNOT STAND BY THEIR "SO CALLED" #1 SELLING TRUCK. PEOPLE SPEND A GREAT DEAL ON THEIR CARS, AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO BE SPENDING THEIR HRAD EARNED MONEY ON, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A RATHER REGULAR ISSUE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE!

WE HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN & IF THIS HAD HAPPENED OR HAPPENS AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE IN THE CAR & WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, WE ALL COULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE & NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING OUT FAULTY PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. WE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T ANYBODY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS BEYOND ME THOUGH. AND TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY ARE ASKING OVER $400 PER WINDOW TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I'M NOT POSITIVE, BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN TO MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SOON TOO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT SINCE THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS I BOUGHT MY TRUCK, NOT EVEN A FULL YEAR AGO & ITS BEEN MAKING NOISES. RECALL IMMEDIATELY PLEASE! *TR

TO THE DAY THEY ARE STILL NOT FIXED BECAUSE OF COST ISSUES,ALMOST $200 EACH NOT INCLUDING THE $140 LABOR BILL. WHAT BREAKS IS THE PLASTIC PART THAT THE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO. THE FIRST 2 WINDOW REGULATORS BROKE QUIETLY WHILE THE 3RD ONE MADE 2 LOUD POPS AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN. IT IS NOW WINTER AND I HOPE THE 4TH AND FINAL WINDOW DOESN'T BREAK.

THE DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN. I WAS NOT USING OR ADJUSTING THE WINDOW IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO FAILURE. THE WEATHER WAS COLD AND WET LEAVING WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR AND CAUSING DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN THE ADVERSE CONDITIONS. I WAS NOT DRESSED TO BE IN 60 MPH COLD BLASTING AIR AND MY HANDS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS STEERING. THE DEALER DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. FORD CONTACTED ME AND ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY BUT ONLY WANTED TO PAY FOR 50% OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES AND IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE WITH THE REGULATOR, I WAS AMAZED THAT THERE ARE MANY THOUSANDS OF FORD OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. AND '04-08 F150'S HAVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MANY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE WINDOWS FAIL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR MYSELF AS THE COSTS TO GET THIS DONE IS OVER $500 AT THE DEALER, AND OVER $400 AT A REPAIR SHOP. WHEN I REMOVED THE REGULATOR I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW POORLY THE PARTS WERE MADE. THE DESIGN LOOKS TO BE FLAWED AS WELL. CLIPS THAT CAN FALL OFF. CABLES THAT CAN FALL OFF SMALL PLASTIC WHEELS. AND THE POWER MOTOR REELS TWO CABLES UP TOGETHER. THIS IS GOING TO BIND UP AND FAIL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE MOTOR REEL HAD BOTH CABLES TANGLED WHEN I PULLED IT OUT. IT APPEARS TO BE DESIGNED TO FAIL. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY PIECE OF GLASS, AND THE MECHANISM SUPPORTING THIS ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY INSUFFICIENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR EXTENDED USE.

IN 2009 I HAD A WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED IN THE REAR OF MY 2004 F150 FX4 BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT THIS YEAR IN JUNE THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BEHIND THE DRIVER HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND NOW IN NOVEMBER THE REAR PASSENGER REGULATOR HAS AGAIN FAILED IN LESS THAT 18 MONTHS. IN BOTH INSTANCES THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER A WARRANTY I BOUGHT AT HALL FORD IN NEWPORT NEWS AND PAID EACH TIME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I FIND IT UNREASONABLE THAT A PART WOULD FAIL THREE TIME IN 17 MONTHS AND SINCE FORD IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT MAKES THE PART I CAN FIND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET ANOTHER FORD BRANDED PART THAT I FEEL WILL JUST ONCE AGAIN FAIL ON ME. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ON NOT ONLY FORUMS, BUT THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING FORD DIRECTLY AND GETTING CANNED RESPONSES THAT THERE IS "NO RECALL" "NO PROGRAMS" AND "NO WARRANTY". I FEEL AS IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE DESIGN OF THE PART OR THE MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE PART THAT IS CAUSING SOME KIND OF FAULT RESULTING IN THE FAILURE AND ULTIMATELY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR WITH A FORD PART ONLY OF THE SAME DESIGN. *TR

I OWN A 2004 F 150 4 DOOR SUPERCREW AND ALL 4 WINDOWS REGULATORS HAVE FAILED ON THEIR OWN. I HAD THREE FAIL WITHIN DAYS OF EACH OTHER ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NOW, TODAY THE FOURTH ONE FAILED. EACH TIME ONE FAILED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE WINDOW SLAMS DOWN SCARING THE HECK OUT OF ME. LUCKILY I'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. THE PROBLEM IS ALWAYS THE STEEL CABLE GETS KINKED UP ON ITS OWN AND SNAPS OR KINKS UP SO BAD IT CAN NOT BE REUSED. EACH TIME ITS A 300 DOLLAR FIX SO WHEN I REPLACE THIS LAST ONE I'LL BE ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS OUT. I FINALLY LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND FORD WILL NOT OWN UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I DON'T KNOW IT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY FORD OR THE SUPPLIER TO FORD THAT MAKES THE WINDOW REGULATOR BUT I DO KNOW THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND THAT YOU CANNOT BUY THE PARTS YOU NEED EXCEPT AT FORD PARTS DEALERS ONLY.

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATORS. DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT WINDOW STARTED LOWERING ITSELF. NO WAY TO SECURE TRUCK THAT NIGHT. TOOK APART WINDOW AND REMOVED REGULATOR. THE PART OF THE WINDOW THAT SECURES GLASS IS A COMBINATION OF METAL AND PLASTIC THE PLASTIC PIECE SECURES THE CABLES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR. THESE PLASTIC PIECES ARE UNDER TOO MUCH STRESS AND THEN EITHER BEGIN CRACKING OR BREAK ALTOGETHER. THIS CAUSES THE CABLE TO BE UNSECURED THUS CAUSING THE WINDOW GLASS TO NO LONGER HAVE SUPPORT. THERE ARE ONE OF TWO EASY FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT I CAN SEE,OR MAYBE THREE.THE FIRST IS TO REDESIGN THE PART WITHOUT THE USE OF PLASTIC. NUMBER TWO IS TO OFFER THIS PARTICULAR PIECE SEPARATE BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY CAN BE REMOVE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM FROM THE WINDOW TRACKS AND OFFER IT AS AN ALTERNATIVE REPAIR PART FOR THOSE WHO ARE MECHANICALLY INCLINED TO REPAIR IT THEMSELVES,OR HAVE A RECALL ON THESE REGULATORS. I BELIEVE IF A RECALL WAS OFFERED ON THESE REGULATORS THE FIX WOULD BE THE REMOVABLE ALTERNATIVE PART. TOO KEEP FROM HAVING CONTINUING RECALLS THE PART SHOULD BE ALL METAL OR UPGRADE THE PLASTIC SOMEHOW ALTHOUGH ALL METAL WOULD BE BETTER. IF A RECALL IS OFFERED ,DEALERS WILL WANT THE SMALL REMOVABLE PART AS THE FIX I'M ALMOST SURE OF. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR THE COMPLETE REGULATOR WITH OR WITHOUT MOTOR WHICH IS BECOMING DIFFICULT BECAUSE MOST PARTS COMPANIES WANT TO SELL THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY OR IN MY CASE DON'T OFFER THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR WHICH FORCES US TOO HAVE TO GO TOO FORD AND PAY IN EXCESS OF 200 DOLLARS FOR THE PART AND LABOR FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. ANYWAY IF DOOR GLASS IS FALLING AND SHATTERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE THIS CAN HAPPEN IN EXTREME WEATHER. ALSO THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SECURED CAUSING THEFT TO RISE AND THUS INSURANCE RATES TOO RISE ALSO. TELL FORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR THIS LINK. *TR

CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 FORD F150 FX4. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY FELL OFF THE TRACK WHILE DRIVING AND INTO THE DOOR, THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T SHATTER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. COST AROUND $500 TO FIX IT. A YEAR LATER THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL OF TRACK WHEN SHUTTING THE DOOR AND FELL DOWN INTO IT. DON'T REALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT, SO WE RIGGED IT TO STAY UP, HOWEVER IT FALLS SLOWLY WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING IT UP. NOW THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS FALLEN DOWN- WHERE OUR CHILD SITS AND THIS IS BECOMING A PROBLEM. $1500 TO FIX 3 WINDOWS IN 2 YEARS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT. FORD CLAIMS THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE NHTSA TO REQUIRE THE RECALL FROM FORD, UNTIL THAT HAPPENS THEY WONT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A CONSUMER ISSUE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO ADVISE FORD OF THIS DEFECT AND URGE THE RECALL. *TR

FAULTY WINDOW REGULATOR COMPONENTS. I REPLACED DRIVER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER (2004 F150 LARIAT CREW CAB) WINDOW REGULATOR. SEEMED TO BE AN OLD PART THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, UNTIL A FEW MONTHS, THE PASSENGER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR ALSO FAILED. NOW IT IS A CONCERN. THE REASON FOR THE COMPLAINT NOW IS BECAUSE MY 3RD REGULATOR BUSTED, THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR THAT FAILED. NOW THIS REALLY PRESENTS A PROBLEM AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE ONLY ONE LEFT TO FAIL IS MY DRIVER DOOR. THE MASTER SWITCH WAS ALSO REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED, SO THAT CAN BE RULED OUT. IN ALL INSTANCES, I HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM THE WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR, FOLLOWING WITH A SUDDEN DROP OF THE WINDOWS. CALL ME LUCKY BUT NONE OF THE WINDOWS SHATTERED FROM THE FALL INTO THE DOOR COMPARTMENT. LOOKS LIKE FOR D BEEFED UP ON THE PULLEY ASSEMBLY OF THE NEW, REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATORS.

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS OF 2004 FORD 150 SUPER CAB. A TOTAL OF 3 FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS (2 DRIVER SIDE AND 1 PASSENGER SIDE). THE TWO MOST RECENT FAILURES OCCURRED THIS MONTH WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. THE WINDOW FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND FALLS DOWN INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM IF THE FAILURE OCCURS DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. IN ORDER TO MAKE THE WINDOW STAY UP, THE DOOR HAS TO BE DISASSEMBLED AND SOMETHING PLACED IN THE DOOR TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP UNTIL PARTS CAN BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED. I HAVE USED A 2 X 4 AND ZIP TIES AS A TEMPORARY FIX TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP INSIDE THE DOOR UNTIL PARTS ARE OBTAINED AND THE REPAIRS MADE. MY TEMPORARY FIX KEEPS THE WINDOW UP, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. BUT HAVING THE WINDOW STUCK IN THE UP POSITION IS MUCH BETTER THAN LEAVING THE WINDOW DOWN AND RISKING DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR FROM WEATHER OR THEFT. *TR

THE REPAIR COST ME $330 APPROXIMATELY $90 LABOR AND $200 PLUS FOR THE PART, I GET NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR RELIEF OVER THE COST FROM THE DEALER, I HAVE NOT CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY YET. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT. EACH TIME, THE WINDOW WAS UP, I HEARD A CLICK AND DOWN IT CAME... I WAS NOT LOWERING THE WINDOWS. I HAVEN'T LOWERED ANY EXCEPT THE REPAIRED DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW SINCE ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE RIGHT REAR CAME DOWN.. I ONLY OPEN THE LEFT FRONT (DRIVERS) AND THIS INCLUDES THE MOON ROOF, I DON'T OPEN THAT EITHER FOR FEAR IT WILL BREAK. THE IRONIC THING IS ALL 3 CAME DOWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE BUTTONS TO LOWER OR RAISE THEM. I SEE BELOW THERE IS SPACE FOR ONLY 1 ENTRY FOR "APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE" SO I WILL USE THE FIRST ONE.

IN 2008 I PURCHASED A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT( 4 DOOR). IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR ( 2010) THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FAILED, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR FAILED IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME RESULT. TODAY, SEPT 7, THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I FIND THE FAILURE OF THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM TO BE FAIRLY COMMON. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS AN UNEXPECTED LOWERING OF THE WINDOW CAN CAUSE ITEMS INSIDE THE TRUCK TO FLY AROUND INSIDE THE CAB AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD HAS HAD AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF THIS FAILURES AND SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS AT THEIR COST IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

I HAVE JUST HAD MY SECOND INCIDENCE OF A WINDOW REGULATOR SNAPPING IN MY 2004 FORD F150. I WAS JUST ROLLING MY ELECTRIC WINDOW UP AS I WAS GETTING MY TRUCK WASHED TODAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2010, AND A HORRENDOUS POP WAS HEARD BY ME AND BYSTANDERS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND THE WINDOW THEN SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. I HAVE BARELY OVER 70,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW, AND THE FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED AT 64,273. THE FIRST FIX COST ME $337.66 FOR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, AND TODAY'S FAILURE HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER REAR. THAT'S TWICE IN 6000 MILES. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE MY OTHER VEHICLE TO AS I MY VEHICLE IS NOW UNSECURE SINCE THE WINDOW CANNOT BE CLOSED. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE CABLE SNAPPING, AND THE SAME SCARY SOUND HAPPENED TODAY SO I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT THE SAME PART FAILURE OCCURRED TODAY. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE NOR THE ISSUE WHICH HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS F150 OWNERS TO LOSE OUT ON WAGES LOST TO HOURS MISSED AT WORK AND MONEY PAID TO HAVE THEIR EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BACK IN OPERATING ORDER.

WHILE RAISING THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW OF MY 2004 FORD F150 TRUCK, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE WINDOW DROPPED. THE WINDOW COULD NOT BE RAISED. FROM THE STAND POINT OF SAFETY, THE WIND NOISE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CREATES A DISTRACTION AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THERE IS THE REAL POTENTIAL FOR THE DRIVER TO BE STARTLED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP ME, THE REASONING BEHIND THE DECISION I WAS TOLD I DO NOT BRING MY VEHICLE IN OFTEN ENOUGH FOR THEM TO SERVICE. WELL, WHEN I NEEDED TIRES THEY WANTED OVER $600.00 I GOT THEM FOR $400.00. WHEN MY OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGE I TAKE IT TO WALMART BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER, I AM SORRY THAT I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE JANUARY OF 2009 YOU HAVE TO SAVE WHEREVER YOU CAN. SO NOW, BECAUSE I TRIED TO SAVE MONEY, SO THAT I CAN SURVIVE THE CURRENT ECONOMIC TIMES I AM BEING PUNISHED AGAIN. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE SAFETY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN IS THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO ME AND MY HUSBAND. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO NO INNOCENT CHILDREN GET HURT BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

I PURCHASED A USED 2004 F-150 TRUCK 3-MONTHS AGO AND IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 2-DAYS. UPON OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR I NOTICED THE PASSENGER WINDOW WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT RAISE. MY FORD DEALER INDICATED THE PLASTIC PARTS ON THE REGULATOR HAD FAILED AND DROPPED THE WINDOW INSIDE THE DOOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. NOONE WAS OPENING OR CLOSING THE PASSENGER DOOR OR ATTEMPTING TO RAISE OR LOWER THE WINDOW. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR NEXT TO A PASSENGER, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. WHEN I PARK AND LOCK MY TRUCK, I DON'T EXPECT THE WINDOWS TO FALL OUT OR DOWN INTO THE DOORS. THIS THEN BECOMES A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE AND PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEFT OR VANDALISM OF THE VEHICLE. THE PLASTIC PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY CHEAPER TO USE AND NOT ENGINEERED FOR THE STRESSES ON THEM OR THE WEIGHT OF THE WINDOW. I'M OUT $458.00 IN REPAIR BILLS FOR A SINGLE WINDOW REPAIR. TWO FORD SERVICE ADVISORS I SPOKE WITH SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM ON A FORD. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM? THERE SHOULD EITHER BE A FORMAL RECALL OR FORD SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS AT NO COST AND SUBSTITUTE METAL CLIPS AND PARTS RATHER THAN USING PLASTIC. REIMBURSEMENT FOR PAST REPAIRS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. I'M THANKFUL MY VEHICLE WAS NEITHER ROBBED OR VANDALIZED AND THAT I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE STORM HIT MY AREA. UNDISCOVERED, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO THE WINDOW REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F150 SUPERCREW. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. I HAVE REPLACED THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR ON 3 OF THE 4 WINDOWS AFTER IMMEDIATE AND CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE REGULATOR FAILS AND THE WINDOW SIMPLY PLUMMETS INTO THE DOOR. IT HAS BEEN A MIRACLE THE GLASS HAS NEVER SHATTERED IT FALLS SO HARD. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHEN CLOSING A DOOR, ONCE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND A THIRD TIME WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. MY 4TH REGULATOR JUST FAILED YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO IMAGINE A SITUATION WHERE THIS WOULD PRESENT A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INCLEMENT WEATHER ALL OF A SUDDEN BEING BLOWN INTO THE CAB. CHILDREN OR PETS SITTING NEXT TO THE WINDOW WHEN IT FAILS, MATERIALS FROM INSIDE THE CAB BEING BLOWN OUT, ETC. NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL THEFT ISSUE WHEN IT OCCURS JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT OR ON THE STREET. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE WINDOW REGULATORS AND REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH FAULTY REGULATORS SINCE THE PROBLEM FIRST CAME TO LIGHT. I AM LISTING THE LAST INCIDENT AS THE "DATE" BUT THEY HAVE BEEN FAILING AT A PACE OF EVERY 6 - 18 MONTHS. *TR

I TOOK THE DOOR APART AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS DAMAGED IN THAT THE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING THE CABLE HAD BROKEN. INSPECTION OF THE CLIPS INDICATE THAT THEY ARE WOEFULLY UNDERDESIGNED TO HANDLE THE STRESS FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE WINDOW AND THE FORCE PUT ON THEM FROM THE TORQUE OF THE WINDOW MOTOR. AS STATED, THIS HAPPENED AT 60 MPH JUST AS IT WAS STARTING TO RAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SHELTER BEFORE THE SERIOUS RAIN FELL, BUT HAD THIS HAPPENED DURING A SERIOUS RAINSTORM, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. RESEARCH ON-LINE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE 2004 MODEL. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO RECALL BY NHTSA.

1. THE DOOR WINDOW QUITS WORKING AND GETS STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT JUST WENT DOWN AND STAYED THERE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO START RAINING AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL UP. THE PROBLEM IS THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR. 2. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND TODAY THE PASSENGERS SIDE. BOTH TIMES I HAD TO TAKE THE DOOR PANEL APART AND MANUALLY MOVE THE WINDOW UP AND PROP IT UP WITH A BOARD IN CASE IT RAINED. I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING TODAY. LUCKILY I WAS AT HOME AND HAD A CANOPY TO WORK UNDER WHILE IT WAS RAINING.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

ONCE AGAIN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR WAS BAD.

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 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 ONLINE I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES. *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.

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 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 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.

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.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A COMPANY RECALL A PRODUCT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY FORD F-150 TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I AM EXPECTING TO PAY AT LEAST ANOTHER $100.00 TO FIX IT. THE BAD THING IS I HAVE 2 REAR WINDOWS THAT I CAN EXPECT TO BREAK AND WILL MOST LIKELY END UP REPLACING THEM ALSO. HOPEFULLY BEFORE MY WARRANTY IS UP IN ANOTHER 8000 MILES.

THIS SAFETY CONCERN IS IN REGARDS TO THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FOUND IN MY 2004 FORD F-150. THE FIRST WINDOW REGULATOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) WENT OUT WHILE IN NORTH DAKOTA. THERE WAS NO WARNING JUST A LOUD POP, FOLLOWED BY THE WINDOW FALLING IN THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ONE WEEK LATER TO THE DAY. WHEN BOTH OF THESE BROKE, I WAS LEFT WITH NEAR ZERO VISIBILITY INSIDE THE CAB OF MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. IF THERE IS ANY SORT OF PRECIPITATION, YOU ARE NO LONGER PROTECTED. ALSO, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, PROPERTY, AND TRUCK HAS BEEN JEOPARDIZED. ANOTHER PROBLEM ARISES WHEN YOU GO TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN JAMESTOWN, NORTH DAKOTA WHO NEW OF THE PROBLEM AS SOON AS THEY SAW MY WINDOW. HOWEVER, THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR WITH THE SAME PART THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS BUILT IN OBSOLESCENCE. WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY $400 TO FIX ONE WINDOW, ONLY TO HAVE IT BREAK DAYS LATER; LEAVING THEM STRANDED, HURT, OR WORSE. WITH LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, AND MANY SUBMITTED ON THIS SITE, IT CONCERNS ME TO WONDER IF THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED A FATAL CRASH OR INCIDENT YET. MAYBE THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT IN DETAIL. IF FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WILLING TO STAND BEHIND A PLASTIC WINDOW REGULATOR THAT HAS BROKE IN MY TRUCK TWICE, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER SIMILAR TRUCKS, JUST TO SAVE A "BUCK" SO BE IT.

SECOND TIME WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TOWN IN SPEEDS OF 0-45 MPH, LUCKILY HE DIDN'T CRASH DUE TO THE SURPRISE OF THE NOISE AND QUICK INFLUX OF AIR. I REPORTED THE FIRST PART FAILURE TO FORD, THEIR ONLY RESPONSE WAS A REQUEST TO FILL OUT A CONCERN HANDLING SURVEY SO I HAVE TAKEN THIS NEXT STEP AFTER A SECOND PART FAILURE FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR

THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FALLING DOWN INTO THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEAMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE FORD F-150 PICKUP. WHILE IT HAS NOT LEAD TO A CRASH TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN CROWED TRAFFIC AND YOUR WINDOW DROPS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. YOUR ATTENTION WILL DEFINITELY BE DISTRACTED FROM YOUR DRIVING AND DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER THIS COULD BE EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ POINTS TO THE SAME PRODUCT FAILURE. A RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATORY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

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

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.

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

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.

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 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

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

THERE WAS NO WARNING FOR THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF MY WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2004 FORD F150. ONE DAY I WENT TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND THE WHOLE THING FELL DOWN INSIDE OF THE DOOR. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK UP, I HAD TO WEDGE MATERIALS BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND DOOR TO HOLD IT UP. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE THIS WINDOW FOR DRIVE-THRU AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS, MY DRIVERS SEAT GETS WET BECAUSE THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN HALFWAY. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED DUE TO THE COST OF PARTS AND LABOR, THEREFORE I HAVE GONE MONTHS TRYING TO JUST DEAL WITH THE SITUATION, UNTIL I COULD PAY THE $400.00 THAT IT COSTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, UPON DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I SEE THAT I AM NOT ALONE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS, THEREFORE, IF I DON'T HAVE TO AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, I'D RATHER NOT BE! I HAVE ALSO BEEN AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL BE ABLE TO GET INSIDE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO, ALL THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN MANUALLY-VERY EASY TO DO WITH IT BEING BROKEN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 FORD F-150 CREWCAB PICKUP TRUCK ONE DAY, I HEARD A 'POP' (LIKE A ROCK HIT MY WINDOW) ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND THE NEXT DAY I HEAR IT AGAIN. THE NEXT NIGHT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO MY DOOR WHILE OUT DRIVING AND SCARED ME SO BAD IT MADE ME SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. A POLICE OFFICER SAW THIS AND ACCUSED ME OF BEING INTOXICATED SO I THEREFORE HAD TO GO THROUGH A FIELD SOBRIETY AND BREATHALIZER TEST. THE POLICE OFFICER APOLOGIZED BUT IT WAS VERY NERVE RACKING TO GO THROUGH THAT. THAT NIGHT I TOOK MY DOOR APART TO FIND A JUNGLE OF WIRES IN MY DOOR THAT ONCE CONNECTED TO THE TRACKS THAT HELD MY WINDOW IN PLACE. IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE, BUT REPLACEABLE SO THEREFORE I AM VERY UPSET. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS SINCE I WAS FOURTEEN YEAR OLD, AND NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH A HORRIBLE IDEA FOR A WINDOW MOTOR. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I COMMUTED ON BACK COUNTRY ROADS THIS NIGHT BECAUSE IF I WERE TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE OR A HIGHWAY, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I WOULD HAVE WRECKED AND BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED.

I AM GETTING FED UP WITH THIS, I LOOKED ONLINE, AND SO FAR HAVE SEEN WELL OVER 450 OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER'S FRONT DOOR WINDOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE WINDOW WAS ROLLED UP, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH SOME WIRING THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THE WINDOW FALLING. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN, AND WHEN I WENT TO ROLL IT UP, IT MADE IT ABOUT HALF WAY UP, THEN AGAIN THE LOUD POP, AND THEN THE WINDOW SLOWLY SLID BACK INTO THE DOOR, AGAIN THE REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND JUST RECENTLY, BARELY A YEAR LATER, THAT SAME RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BROKEN AGAIN. THIS TIME I NOTICED IT WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO GET INTO MY TRUCK, THE WINDOW WAS DOWN, AND IT WOULDN'T ROLL UP, THE MOTOR JUST SPINS FREELY. NOW I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO SPEND ANOTHER $300 OR SO TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

SOME MAY SAY THAT THE DOOR WINDOWS AREN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, ONLY ISSUES INVOLVING THE WINDSHIELD. FOR ME THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THEFT, I DIDN'T BUY THE TRUCK WITH AN ALARM SYSTEM FOR NOTHING. SO, WHEN THE WINDOW POPS AND YOU CAN'T ROLL THE THING UP I'D SAY THERE'S A SAFETY ISSUE. DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH A MAKE SHIFT GARBAGE BAG WINDOW ISN'T SO SAFE EITHER. MY AFTERMARKET WARRANTY PAID FOR THE FIX THE FIRST TWO TIMES, BUT A HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE OF INFORMING THEM THAT IT'S HAPPENED FOR A THIRD TIME IN TWO YEARS.

BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED WITH NO WARRANTY. WITHIN 1 YEAR, 3 OF THE WINDOWS IN MY 2004 FORD F150 HAVE SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH ME BEING UNABLE TO ROLL IT BACK UP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT COST ~$350 EACH TIME. I AM NOW SAVING UP MONEY TO FIX IT A THIRD TIME. THIS THIRD TIME, IT HAPPENED TO A WINDOW THAT WAS FIXED LAST YEAR, MAKING THIS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE FOR THAT WINDOW. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL THEIR TRUCKS SO THIS CAN BE RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL! I AM BROKE AND DRIVING AROUND WITH A SHOWER CURTAIN WRAPPED AROUND MY CAR WINDOW IN A RED NECK SOUTHERN TOWN! I CANNOT SEE OUT OF THAT WINDOW! I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP FIXING THIS WINDOW WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS AND I'M OUT OF A JOB! *TR

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW TRACK FAILURE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR/TRACK BROKE CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THAT TIME, THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK WINDOW FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER, LESS THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WINDOW FAILED AS THE PREVIOUS 2 WINDOWS AND WITHIN ANOTHER 3 MONTHS, THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR WINDOW FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE PRIOR THREE WINDOWS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS THE FOURTH WINDOW TRACK THAT HAS FAILED. EACH TIME THE FAILURE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE OFFER BY FORD MOTOR CO. WAS TO PAY A DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE WINDOW TRACK. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F-150. THE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT NOT BEING USED WHILE I WAS IN AFGHANISTAN. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL LOUISIANA FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME. I WAS CHARGED AROUND $400 FOR THE REPAIR. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE MY PARENTS WERE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE LOCAL OHIO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR COST IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST TIME. I TALKED WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO GAVE ME THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER. FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO OTHER THAN DOCUMENT MY CONCERN. I WAS GIVEN THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT, AND AM AMAZED AT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AS WELL AS NOTIFYING MY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. A ONETIME PROBLEM IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TWICE TO MY TRUCK AND SEEING HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IS PATHETIC. I HOPE THE NHTSA INSPECTORS SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE FORD TO CORRECT IT. PLEASE HAVE FORD RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR A TRUCK BEING STOLEN OVER A FAULTY PIECE OF PLASTIC. THANKS *TR

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK USED FROM THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS THREE YEARS OLD, IT WAS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. ROUGHLY ONE YEAR LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AND WHEN I PRESSED THE SWITCH TO PUT IT BACK UP, I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COME FROM THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND THE WINDOW DID NOT BUDGE. IT COST ME ROUGHLY 400.00 DOLLARS FROM FORD TO REPLACE IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME. I HAD MY DOG IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY TRUCK AND WHEN THE WINDOW FELL MY DOG WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE WINDOW. LUCKILY I GRABBED HIM BEFORE HE GOT ANY CLOSER TO IT. THANK GOODNESS IT WAS NOT A SMALL CHILD. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR AND FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT BETTER AND RECALL THESE PROBLEMS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. IF A CHILD GETS HURT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THE LAW SUIT WILL COST MUCH MORE THAN IF FORD JUST RECALLS ALL THE PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F150 AND ON DEC 21, 2008 MY RF WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN AND SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. THE WINDOW WAS ROLLED UP AND JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I WAS AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY FROM HOME TRAVELING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY THAT IS VERY HILLY, CURVY AND USUALLY WINDY. IT IS ONE OF 2 HWYS THAT LEAD IN AND OUT OF A VERY POPULAR OFFROAD AREA CALLED OCOTILLO WELLS. MOST OF THE TRAFFIC ON THAT ROAD CONSISTS OF BIG TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS FULL OF QUADS, MOTORCYCLES, BUGGIES AND FAMILY MEMBERS. I SERIOUSLY ALMOST FLEW OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS SO SHAKEN FOR THAT MOMENT. IT WAS SO SUDDEN AND LOUD THAT I THOUGHT MY WINDOW HAD BEEN SHOT OUT. PEOPLE DO HUNT IN THE AREA SO NOT A FAR FETCHED CONCLUSION. I GOT HOME SAFELY AND HAD THE WINDOW REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY. YESTERDAY, APRIL 5, 2009 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE AND 2 DOGS ON OUR WAY HOME. THIS TIME IT WAS THE RR WINDOW. IT CAME CRASHING DOWN IN THE SAME MANNER AND SCARED US HALF TO DEATH, AGAIN. THIS TIME ONE OF MY DOGS NEARLY JUMPED IN MY LAP MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THE REMAINDER OF THE RIDE CONSISTED OF MY WIFE TRYING TO KEEP ONE OF MY DOGS FROM ALMOST FALLING OUT THE WINDOW. NOTHING LIKE WIND IN THE FACE FOR SOME DOGS!!! MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY WITH THIS SAME REPAIR/SAFETY ISSUE. I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND CRASH. I KNOW THIS FIRST HAND BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE SINCE DEC 21, 2008. I STILL HAVE 2 MORE WINDOWS THAT HAVE NOT BROKEN AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL COME CRASHING DOWN. WILL MY FAMILY AND I BE STATISTICS BECAUSE OF AND REALLY CHEAP PART??? OR WILL I KILL SOMEONE'S FAMILY??? I AM ALSO NOT PLEASED WITH THE FACT THAT THEY ARE CHARGING ALL OF US ALMOST $400 PER WINDOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR A VERY CONCERNED, JEFF SHORES

MY 2004 F-150 ELECTRIC WINDOWS KEEP FAILING. THEY FALL INTO THE DOOR WHILE I AM DRIVING AND IT HAPPENS WITH NO NOTICE AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS QUITE DISTRACTING BECAUSE OF SUDDEN THERE IS A LOUD NOISE AND A HUGE FORCE OF AIR COMING INTO THE CABIN. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD FIRED A WEAPON AT MY TRUCK. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT FIX THE OTHER WINDOWS EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE DEALER SPLIT THE COST WITH ME. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON MY OWN. IT IS A SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLAR REPAIR. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A SIMPLE PIECE OF PLASTIC WITH A PULLEY THAT ALLOWS A CABLE TO WIND AROUND A MOTOR SHAFT. ALTHOUGH THE CAUSE IS SIMPLE, THE REPAIR IS NOT AND THE ENTIRE DOOR MUST BE TAKEN APART. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THE FAILURE WILL SCARE THE DRIVER AND SIGNIFICANTLY TAKE YOUR MIND OFF THE ROAD. IF A CHILD IS SITTING NEXT TO THE WINDOW, THE EVENT COULD EVEN HAVE MORE SEVERAL CONSEQUENCES. FORD APPARENTLY KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BASED OF FORD MECHANIC COMMENTS ABOUT THE ISSUE BEING COMMON TO THE 2004 F-150 AND THE NUMBER OF REPAIR KITS THEY GO THROUGH.

2004 F150 SUPERCREW PROBLEM: WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN BY THEMSELVES BOTH REAR WINDOW(RL & RR). CAUSE: PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR, OR FAULT OF. THE WHITE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THE END OF THE STEEL CABLES (NEXT TO THE PULLEYS) BROKE OFF. ONE END BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SLIDE DOWN BY GRAVITY AND FRICTION WHEN IN MOTION (SOMETIMES STILL - I.E. OVERNIGHT). IF UNAWARE OF THE SITUATION, LIKE I WAS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED TO THE RL WINDOW, I USED THE ELECTRONIC SWITCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR TO PULL THE RLWINDOW UP BUT COULD HEAR THE MOTOR (ON THE REGULATOR) EATING AWAY AT SOMETHING. AFTER OPENING UP THE DOOR, I NOTICED THAT THE CABLE WAS BEING MANGLED BY THE MOTOR. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE RR WINDOW HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THE WHITE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THE END OF THE CABLE BROKE OFF FROM ONE END. OTHER END ALREADY CRACKED AND BARELY HOLDING ON. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PARTS USED ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, ACTUALLY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REGULATOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS (SOMEONE CAN VANDALIZE MY CAR, OR... WHAT IF I GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT AND MY 4 AND 2 YEAR OLDS ARE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THEN? I DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT.) I WANT THEM TO BE ALL REGULATORS REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL AND I BELIEVE THEY WILL EVENTUALLY BREAK OFF. TWO ALREADY DID.

I READ ON-LINE AT THE VOLUME OF FAILURES WITH THE FORD WINDOWS MOTORS & REGULATOR WITH THIS MODEL, AND WANTED TO SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT AS WELL. THE WINDOWS HAVE NOT COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING, BUT FROM WHAT I READ, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

WELL ITS A WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEM OR THE PULLEY SYSTEM THAT ROLLS THE WINDOW UP AND DOWN. I'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IM HAVING TO REPLACE 2 WINDOW REGULATORS SO FAR. I HARDLY USE MY WINDOWS AND I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THERE WINDOW FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR MAKING A LOUD BANG. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS THERE TO SEE IT BUT IF I WASN'T I COULD OF HAD TOOLS INSIDE STOLEN OR THE TRUCK STOLEN. IT WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME THE WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN INTO THE DOOR BOTH TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDOW SLAMS DOWN. I SEE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT ARE TRYING TO FIND A RECALL AND THERE IS NO RECALL. THE PART BY ITSELF IS 200 OR MORE DOLLARS THAT'S IF U FIX IT YOURSELF. IF U GET FORD TO FIX IT THEN ITS ANOTHER 300 OR MORE. THE PULLEY SYSTEM IS CHEAP AND PLASTIC THE CABLES ARE ALWAYS IN A BIG KNOT AND CHIPS OUT OF THE WHEELS FOR THE CABLES. THE NEW ONE I GOT LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE MAKING IT SEEM TO ME THEY AREN'T TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF A RECALL IS GOING TO HAPPEN IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

BOTH TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY WHILE THE WINDOWS WERE IN THE FULL UP (CLOSED) POSITION. BOTH TIMES I HEARD A LOUD BOOM OR POP AND THEN THE WINDOW PROCEEDED TO SLIDE DOWN INTO THE DOOR. A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER HAS UNOFFICIALLY ADMITTED TO ME THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON WITH MY MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR AND THAT IT WAS HIS OPINION THIS WAS A DEFECT.

IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE THE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM HAS BROKEN AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO BE INOPERABLE. THIS HOWEVER IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. EVERY WINDOW POWER WINDOW MECHANISM "REGULATOR" ON MY 2004 FORD F150 HAS BROKEN ALL WITHIN A SPAN OF TWO YEARS. IT ALL STARTED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR, THEN THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT, THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. YESTERDAY 01-21-2009 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE REGULATOR GAVE OUT AND THE WINDOW CAME SLIDING ALL THE WAY DOWN, IN THE F150 THE WINDOWS GO ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR SO THE GLASS IS ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOOR POCKET, THERE WAS NOT A WAY FOR ME TO MANUALLY PULL THE WINDOW UP AND SECURE IT WITHOUT REMOVING THE DOOR PANEL. I WAS UNABLE TO ROLL IT UP AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, PERSONAL PROPERTY AND MY SON. MY SON WAS IN A CAR SEAT IN THE REAR TILL WE WERE ABLE TO GET HOME TWO HOURS LATER IN THE COLD & RAIN. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND FORD WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE FAULTY PARTS.

HAD WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY) IN JULY OF 2008...THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. 6 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. REPAIRED FOR ANOTHER 100 DOLLARS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME WINDOW BROKE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I FEAR THE OTHER 2 WINDOWS WILL BREAK NOW. I AM SURPRISED THE GLASS HAS NOT SHATTERED AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY DURING EITHER INCIDENT. IT MAKES A VERY LOUD SOUND WHEN IT BREAKS. SERVICE GUY AT FORD SUGGESTED I CALL FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. SPOKE WITH REP AND SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE YET THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ON THE WEB ARE FULL OF 2004 FORD TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED FORDS FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY. BUT SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OR THE MATERIALS ON THE WINDOW MECHANISM. IT'S A $45,000 TRUCK, 84,000 MILES AND I TAKE PERFECT CARE OF IT.

I ASKED DEALERSHIP IF WARRANTY COULD PAY FOR IT AND IT WAS COVERED EVEN THOUGH THE 36/36 EXPIRED. THE NEXT WINDOW WAS THE RIGHT REAR (FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR JUST LIKE THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE) THAT WAS ON 8/14/08 AND 57,916 MILES. I HAD TO PAY 342.55. NOW IT IS 12/23/08 AND THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME UNTIL TOMORROW. NOW I HAVE PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE ON MY TRUCK.

THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE TO ME (SAME NOISES IN COLD,RAINY WEATHER, BOTH TIMES) ON MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. SINCE IT COST ME ALMOST $400 FOR THE FIRST WINDOW, I REPLACED THE PART (THE ENTIRE REGULATOR) MYSELF THIS TIME. THERE IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE WIRE IN PLACE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BROKE. WHEN IT DID, THE REGULATOR GOT THE WIRE WRAPPED UP AROUND IT IN A NON-FIXABLE CONDITION. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED.

MY PREGNANT WIFE OF 6 MONTHS WAS DRIVING THE 45 MILE TRIP TO HOME AFTER WORK AND HER DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW POPPED AND DROPPED. CURRENT TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 30, AND SNOWING. I DECIDED NOT TO TAPE A BAG TO COVER THE HOLE BECAUSE IF IT WERE TO COME OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND BLOW INTO HER FACE, IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CUT A TEMPLATE OUT OF PLEXIGLASS INSTEAD AND PLACED IT IN THE WINDOW CHANNEL. THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE I CAN USE IT OVER AND OVER AND IT WILL FIT NICELY IN THE PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN IT BREAKS. THE DAY WE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO GET IT FIXED IT WAS 13 DEGREES, AND 70 MILES LATER WE WERE AT THE DEALER. $400.00 LATER WE WERE OUT THE DOOR WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT THAT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONE WITH A DESIGN FLAW. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND IF I DID I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS FORD F-150.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME ONE OF THE WINDOWS HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR OF OUR FORD F150 PICKUP. THE WINDOW IS PARALYZED IN THE DOOR FRAME AFTER A REGULATOR SNAPS AND THE WINDOW CRASHES INTO THE DOOR. THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP AFTER THIS PART BREAKS. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR US, IT HAS BEEN A DIFFERENT WINDOW. IT IS THE REGULATOR IN THE DOOR FOR THE ROLLING MECHANISM THAT SNAPS. WE ALSO VERY RARELY OPEN OUR WINDOWS BECAUSE OF THE HOT WEATHER, SO THAT DID NOT CAUSE IT. IT IS FORD USING FAULTY PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLE. WE WERE NOT HURT DURING ANY OF THE THREE OCCURRENCES, BUT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL DANGER FOR PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I TRIED TO RAISE UP BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE, IT APPEARED THAT THE SAME THING HAD HAPPEN TO THIS WINDOW AS THE ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SURE ENOUGH THE SAME THING HAD HAPPEN TO THIS WINDOW AS THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW; THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY HAD FAIL WHICH MADE THE WINDOW FALL DOWN.

WHEN THE WINDOW CABLE BREAKS (THE CABLE HOLDING THE WINDOW) THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THREE WINDOWS ON THIS VEHICLE IN FOUR YEARS. THERE IS NO WARNING SIGNS. THE WINDOW JUST FALLS DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THERE IS SOMEONE NEXT TO THE WINDOW WHEN IT BREAKS. SOMETHING COULD FLY THROUGH AND HIT THE PERSON OR CHILD. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE SEVER PROPERTY DAMAGE IF THIS OCCURRED DURING A RAIN STORM. PERSONAL PROPERTY COULD BE STOLEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. THERE IS NO ADVANCE WARNING. YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS SHUT AND LOCKED, THEN RETURN TO THE VEHICLE WITH A WINDOW COMPLETELY GONE. IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE WINDOW THE COMPLETE INSIDE OF THE DOOR HAS TO BE REMOVED. MOST OF THE TIME THE LOCAL FORD DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PART ON HAND AND HAS TO ORDER IT. THAT CAUSES DIFFICULTY SINCE THERE USUALLY IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE WINDOW WITHOUT THE CABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET ANYTHING INSIDE THE DOOR TO PROP THE WINDOW UP AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR PERSONAL SAFETY AND PROPERTY SAFETY TO DRIVE WITHOUT A WINDOW. IT USUALLY TAKES APPROXIMATELY $100 OR MORE FOR THE PART AND TWO HOURS TO REPAIR. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO HAVE THE WINDOW LOCK IN A CLOSED POSITION IN ORDER TO SECURE PERSONAL AND VALUABLE ITEMS AND SECURE PERSONAL SAFETY. HAVING THE WINDOWS FALL INTO THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE NOT TO MENTION THE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND EXPENSE OF VALUABLES LOST THAT COULD OCCUR. WHAT IF THE VEHICLE IS STOLEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS? SINCE IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. THE VEHICLE OWNER TOOK PRECAUTIONS AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE WITH ALL WINDOWS SHUT, THEN THE CABLE BREAKS AND THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY OPEN TO ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE EVEN TO THE POINT OF STOLEN COMPLETELY AT FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE DOOR, I FOUND THE WINDOW REGULATOR IS BROKEN AND THERE IS CABLE WRAPPED ALL AROUND IT. I DID SOME INTERNET SEARCHES TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD INFORMATION ON REPAIRS, AND THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, AS THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE.

2004 F-150 CREW CAB 4-DOOR, 77,000 MILES. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS, STARTING OCTOBER 20, 2008, I HAVE HAD 3 WINDOWS FALL INTO THE DOORS OF MY TRUCK. WINDOWS EFFECTED ARE THE RF, RR AND LR. THE FIRST WAS THE RT FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WHICH FELL IN THE DOOR WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, AT NIGHT AND DURING A HEAVY RAIN. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO CRACK THE WINDOW FOR AIR CIRCULATION, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE WINDOW FELL ALL THE WAY INTO THE DOOR CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND NEARLY MISS A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE. THE FAILURE ALSO SOAKED THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK AND MANY ITEMS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN THE RAIN FOR SEVERAL MILES TO A GAS STATION FOR A PLASTIC BAG BECAUSE THE DOOR PANEL HAD TO BE REMOVED TO GET THE WINDOW BACK UP. THE RT REAR WAS NEXT FOLLOWED BY THE LT REAR WINDOWS. EACH WINDOW FAILED WITH A LOUD BANK AND SLID INTO THE DOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. ALL 3 WINDOWS ARE BEING HELD IN THE UP POSITION BY WEDGING SCREW DRIVERS BETWEEN THE DOOR AND WINDOW. 3 WINDOWS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS! THE ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR IS 1500 DOLLARS WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. THIS POSES NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ALSO A SECURITY ISSUE. JUDGING FROM THE FREQUENCY OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE WINDOW ASSEMBLIES, FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING, THROUGH A RECALL, THESE FAULTY WINDOW ASSEMBLIES. *TR

FORD IS MAKING A KILLING OFF OWNERS BY USING CHEAP, BREAKABLE PARTS AND BY NOT RECALLING THIS YET! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY WINDOW SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT ME AND IT WON'T GO UP OR DOWN. I HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND FOUND FORD MADE CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE CLIPS YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE WINDOW REGULATOR.

THAT WAS A GOOD KICKER FOR THE 2+ HOUR DRIVE. THE TRUCK DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 40,000 MILES YET. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS SINCE THEN AND I STILL CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY NEARLY $800 TO GET THEM BOTH FIXED. THE SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR THAT BROKE ISN'T RIGGED AS WELL TO STAY UP, IT STILL FALLS. SO, IT'S GREAT WHEN IT FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN ON MY WAY TO DAY CARE IN THE MORNING SO MY TWO TODDLERS CAN FREEZE. I LOVE FORD! NOT REALLY, I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS TRUCK OR STEPPED FOOT IN THEIR DEALERSHIP. BUT AS LONG AS THEY ARE GETTING MY MONEY, THEY DON'T GIVE A '!@#$% ABOUT ME OR MY FAMILY.

I PURCHASED MY 04 FORD F150 BRAND NEW BACK IN 04 FROM PAUL MILLER FORD DEALERSHIP IN LEXINGTON KY. SINCE THAT TIME, NO REAL PROBLEMS. IN JULY OF THIS YEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WITHOUT REASON OR CIRCUMSTANCE FELL OFF TRACK AND INTO DOOR LEAVING ME TO PAY FOR A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR. REPAIR WAS MADE AT CROSSROADS FORD IN FRANKFORT KY. IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW LEAVING ME AGAIN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHEN IT HAPPENED WITHOUT REASON. SEARCHING ON LINE, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY MORE OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME. I HAVE ALREADY PAID NEARLY 300.00 IN REPAIRS AFTER THE ESP. OCTOBER 3, I CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME ANY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I CAN UNDERSTAND 1 WINDOW, BUT NOW 2 AND THERE ARE 2 REAR WINDOWS THAT MAY POTENTIALLY DO THE SAME. I ALSO BELIEVE THERE IS A LEAK IN THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE WHERE WATER CONTINUES TO POOR IN; HOWEVER, FORD DENIES THAT AS WELL. IN BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS AT CROSSROADS, THE WINDOW REGULATORS WERE REPLACED AND NO REASON AS TO WHY BOTH WOULD FAIL. THERE WERE NO PRECEDING EVENTS TO REPORT, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN BOTH INSTANCES WHEN THESE HAPPENED. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS SIMILAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD 2 WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL ON MY VEHICLE WITHIN 2 MONTHS. THE REGULATORS HAVE BEEN ON SEPARATED WINDOWS BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT THE CABLE SNAPS AND THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. MY FIRST INSTANCE WAS THE END OF JULY WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP. NOW IT IS THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER AND MY REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR FRAME WITH 57K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, WHY SHOULD I PAY A DEDUCTIBLE EVERYTIME A FAULTY PART BREAKS. NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE 2 WINDOWS LEFT. SHOULD I EXPECT THOSE CABLE TO BREAK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT? SHOULD WE EXPECT TO REPLACE ALL WINDOW REGULATORS EVERY 50K MILES? FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART! IT IS SCARY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE WINDOW FALL DOWN ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT BACK UP. EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE STARTS TO BLOW AROUND AND YOU CAN'T SEE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF IT WERE RAINING WHEN THE REGULATOR CABLE BREAKS. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

AFTER ROLLING DOWN WINDOW TO GAIN ACCESS INTO WORK PARKING LOT IN THE MORNING, THE WINDOW REGULATOR CLIP BROKE RESULTING IN THE WINDOW BEING STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. TRUCK WAS THEN LEFT UNATTENDED WITH PERSONAL POSSESSIONS AND WINDOW WIDE OPEN AND VULNERABLE TO THEFT WHILE I WAS AT WORK ALL DAY. SEVERAL DEALERS WERE CONTACTED AND THEN I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO COULD FIX MY PROBLEM THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR $340. TRUCK WAS THEN DRIVEN DIRECTLY HOME AND THE WINDOW WAS COVERED WITH PLASTIC TO PREVENT WEATHER FROM ENTERING VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. WINDOW REGULATOR WAS THEN REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED PROBLEM ON 2004 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATORS, AND I AM GLAD MY CASE WAS NOT AS SEVERE AS OTHERS (I.E. WINDOWS FALLING INTO DOOR PANELS). HOWEVER, I DO THINK THIS IS A MATERIAL/ DESIGN DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD MOTOR VEHICLES. FORD TRUCK OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR WINDOWS FAILING EACH TIME THEY USE THEIR TRUCK BECAUSE A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC IS BEING USED TO SAVE ON COST. THIS IS A SIMPLE ISSUE THAT COULD BE RESOLVED BY USING A METAL CLIP. *TR

AND FOR EVERY POST ABOUT WINDOW PROBLEMS ON THIS WEBSITE, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND DON'T REPORT IT HERE - 10X AS MANY? 20X AS MANY? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO LIVE UP TO. THE REPLACEMENT PART IS EXACTLY THE SAME, SO I GUESS I CAN EXPECT ANOTHER REPLACEMENT SOON!

WHILE PUTTING UP THE DRIVER'S SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW IN MY FORD 2004 1/2 (NEW STYLE) F-150 SUPERCREW I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE WINDOW DISAPPEARED. THE BANG WAS SO LOUD THAT I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD SHOT OUT MY WINDOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IF I HAD BEEN IN BUSY TRAFFIC THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A 25 MPH ROAD AT THE TIME AND NO ONE WAS HURT NOR WAS THERE AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR CABLING. THE CABLING SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW WHICH RESULTED IN THE LOUD BANG I HEARD FROM MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF THE DRIVER WERE TO OVERREACT TO THE LOUD "GUN SHOT" SOUND WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT THIS MORNING TO PICK UP A WORK COLLEAGUE FOR AN IMPORTANT MEETING. AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HITTING THE DOOR. I SWERVED AND NEARLY HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. STARTLED, I PULLED OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT TO SEE IF MAYBE SOMEONE HAD THROWN SOMETHING AT MY TRUCK. THERE WASN'T A SCRATCH OR DENT ANYWHERE. I GOT BACK IN STARTED DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND THE FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THERE WAS SEEMINGLY NOTHING TO DO AT THAT POINT BUT TAKE MY SUIT JACKET OFF AND HOPE TO NOT SWEAT THROUGH MY SHIRT BEFORE OUT MEETING. I PICKED UP MY COLLEAGUE, LATE, THEN WERE LATE EVERY SUBSEQUENT MEETING THE REST OF THE DAY. AS SOON AS I COULD, I TOOK WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO ALREADY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG BEFORE I CAN FINISH TELLING HIM WHAT'S WRONG. HE TELLS ME IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY BE IN THE RANGE OF $375 TO FIX. AFTER RENTING A CAR TO GET BACK TO MY OFFICE, I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS MIGHT BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ONLY TO FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT MULTIPLE WINDOWS ON THE SAME VEHICLES NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. SO, AFTER NEARLY WRECKING MY TRUCK, RUNNING LATE, APPEARING DISHEVELED AT MY OWN CUSTOMER MEETINGS, AND DRIVING AROUND IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER IN A SUIT AND TIE, ALL BECAUSE OF A PROBLEMS THAT MY (PREVIOUS) FAVORITE AUTOMAKER IS FULLY AWARE OF, I'M SO MAD AND FRUSTRATED THAT I CAN HARDLY SEE STRAIGHT! ON TOP OF THAT, IT SOUNDS LIKE CAN PROBABLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE SAME THING HAPPENING 3 MORE TIMES (AT LEAST). THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK TO DO IS TO SEND COMPLAINTS WHEREVER I CAN FIND AND KEEP COPIES OF THOSE COMPLAINTS SO THAT WHEN THE NEXT WINDOW "POPS" AND STARTLES ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I'LL AT LEAST HAVE PROOF I DID MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. THIS IS SUCH A POTENTIAL DANGER AND EXPENSIVE INCONVENIENCE TO THE CUSTOMER THAT I REQUEST A RECALL FROM FORD TO REPLACE ALL WINDOW MOTOR/GEARS BEFORE. *TR

HOWEVER, HIS WINDOW HAD NO CONTROLS. NOT TO MENTION THAT I HAD A $700 GPS STOLEN FROM THE TRUCK AS ANOTHER WINDOW JUST FAILED.*AK

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP NOISE AND IT FELL INTO THE DOOR, I WAS NOT LOWERING MY WINDOW AT THE TIME, JUST BASICALLY DRIVING NORMALLY. I AM NOW UNABLE TO RAISE IT. LAST YEAR IT HAPPENED TO ME WITH MY DRIVER SIDE BACK WINDOW. I HAD TO TAKE THE DOOR PANEL OFF AND HAVE IT FIXED. AFTER READING PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND SEEING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM NOW GOING TO TRY THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. LIVING IN ARIZONA WHERE THE TEMPERATURES ARE VERY HIGH THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS FELL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN. THE FAILURES OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE REGULATORS IN EACH WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED.

THREE WINDOWS IN THE 2004 F150 CREW CAB HAD THE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR.

THE WINDOW THAT DROPPED TODAY WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WILL COST ANOTHER $50.00. DEALER SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND STILL CHARGED TO FIX THE WINDOW.*AK

MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO RAISE IT WITH OUT TAKING THE DOOR PANEL COMPLETELY OFF. IT WAS 24 DEG F OUTSIDE AND I WAS EXPOSED TO THESE TEMPERATURES UNTIL I COULD GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO TEMPORARILY PROP UP THE WINDOW. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS WAS A QUALITY DEFECT ON THE WINDOW REGULATOR OF THE NEW STYLE FORD F150. THIS QUALITY DEFECT HAS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, IF MORE SEVERE WEATHER SUCH AS A SEVERE SNOW OR RAIN STORM EXISTED IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 F-150 FX4 THAT HAS 6 POWER WINDOWS, INCLUDING THE BACKSLIDER AND SUN-ROOF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC. OF 04. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT 35000 THE DRIVER WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR, I LIVE IN THE HOTTEST CITY IN AZ. THE DEALER WAS HAPPY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER, BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR TRUCK. THAT IS WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME! THE SOLUTION MEAN WHILE, A PAIR OF VISEGRIPS ON THE WINDOW FRAME RAIL, THAT ACTUALLY WORK GREAT EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF. THEY DID FIX THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY, BUT A WEEK LATER THE PASSENGER WINDOW HIT THE FLOOR TOO. LUCKILY STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WHILE TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW THE BACKSLIDER QUIT WORKING SO THEY FIXED IT AS WELL. 3 DOWN 2 TO GO! TWO WEEKS LATER THE DRIVER REAR WINDOW MAKES A POPPING SOUND AND WENT INTO THE DOOR. #4 AND WOULD YOU GUESS 14 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY, $388 LATER WINDOW IS FINE. ONE WEEK TO THE DAY DRIVING TO PHOENIX AZ. A SLIGHT BITE COOLER THEN WE ARE, THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW POPPED AND SLOWLY WENT DOWN. AFTER AN HOUR IN A WAL-MART PARKING LOT I GOT THE WINDOW CLAMPED UP. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR A RECALL AND I WILL BE PAID FOR THE TWO WINDOWS AT $388 A POP. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT IS A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE REGULATOR IN THE WINDOW. A PLASTIC CLIP IS USED ON THE CABLE THAT PULLS THE WINDOW UP/DOWN. MY OTHER QUESTION IS DO THEY REPLACE THE REGULATOR WITH THE SAME TYPE AND IF SO WHEN WILL IT BREAK AGAIN. *NM

SAFETY ISSUE, IN CAB ELECTRICAL FAILURES. FEB 4TH 2006, IT RAINED 1.5 INCHES. MY TRUCK SAT IN THE RAIN WITH ALL THE WINDOWS UP. IN THE EVENING I OPENED THE DOOR AND DROVE AWAY. AS I HAD JUMPED IN THE TRUCK, I HAD REALIZED I DID NOT HAVE ANY DOME LIGHTS. AS I DROVE AWAY (ENGINE RUNNING FINE), I REALIZED I DID NOT HAVE ANY READOUTS ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS NOT WORKING. ABOUT 10 MILES LATER, I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND ALL MY NON-WORKING ITEMS BEGAN WORKING. THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT WAS MY TRIPOMETER QUIT WORKING. AT THIS TIME, SEPTEMBER 14, 2006 I CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SPECIFICALLY WHEN IT RAINS OR IS HUMID. I CURRENTLY HAVE DRIVEN MY TRUCK APPROX 200 MILES IN THE PAST 4 DAYS WITHOUT ANY OF THESE ITEMS WORKING. DURING THESE 6 MONTHS, I WOULD APPROXIMATE THIS ISSUE AS 1X PER WEEK PROBLEM, WITH THE RESOLUTION BEING A HARD HIT ON THE DASH WHILE I AM DRIVING. HOWEVER, I AM AT THE POINT NOW WHERE HITTING THE DASH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HERE IS A LIST OF THINGS NOT WORKING WHEN I HAVE THIS FAILURE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKS UPON START UP THEN STAYS ILLUMINATED. NO DOME LIGHTS NO SPEEDOMETER NO TRIPOMETER NO ODOMETER NO TACH NO FUEL NO ENGINE TEMP NO OPERATING VOLTS NO OIL PRESSUE NO AUDIBLE ALARM THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION NO AUDIBLE ALARM WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON NO AUTO POWER LOCKS NO POWER WINDOWS (THEREFORE STUCK IN POSITION OF LAST NORMAL OPERATION) NO RADIO NO AC NO DEFROST (PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN HUMIDITY IS HIGH = FOGGING WINDOWS.) I FEEL I HAVE SOME SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAKE THIS TRUCK UNSAFE. I AM AT 50,000 MILES WARRANTY, HOW DO I GET THE MFG TO FIX CORRECTLY, FOR FREE. *NM
