POWER WINDOWS DEVICES & CONTROLS - WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE MY WIFE AND I DROVE MY 2005 FORD F150 TO PICK UP MY SON UP FROM KINDERGARTEN AND WHILE DRIVING HOME, GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH DURING A SEVERE FLORIDA THUNDER STORM WE HEARD A LOUD POP, THEN CRACKLE WHICH SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I PULLED OVER IN THE STORM TO SEE IF ANYTHING STRUCK THE DOOR. SINCE I SAW NOTHING I PULLED BACK ONTO THE ROAD AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW ABRUPTLY FLEW DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND DISAPPEARED. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON WHO WAS SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND ME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN HIS CAR SEAT, WAS TERRIFIED, CRYING AND WET FROM RAIN FLYING IN THE WINDOW, WE WERE 5 MINUTES FROM HOME AND PULLED INTO THE GARAGE. MY SON AND I WERE SOAKED AND ALL THREE OF US WERE SHAKEN. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY A WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE FURTHER I FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS, HOWEVER FORD HAS NOT RESPONDED, NOR ADDRESSED THIS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ISSUE. CURRENTLY MY WINDOW IS TAPED WITH A BAG TO COVER THE WINDOW HOLE AS WE DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE SINCE BOTH WIFE AND I WERE LAID OFF RECENTLY. THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE COST IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED. IS IT A FAULTY PART ON THE MANUFACTURER'S SIDE, IS IT A FORD ENGINEERING PROBLEM? WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL? DO INDIVIDUALS NEED TO BE HURT OR WORSE DIE IN ORDER FOR A RECALL. SHAME ON FORD FOR LETTING AN ISSUE LIKE THIS RECEIVE MULTIPLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS WITH NO ACTION OR RESOLUTION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

WHILE ENTERING AN ON RAMP TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW, THE WINDOW IS DOWN AND I CANNOT ROLL IT BACK UP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I'VE TOLD THEM NOT TO LET THE WINDOW DOWN (THEY DO IT ANYWAY) AND THEN I HAVE TO WASTE MORE TIME HAVING THEM MANUALLY ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP IN HOPES THAT IT WILL STAY UP. THEN, ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAS NOW FALLEN DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M THANKFUL THAT MY TRUCK WASN'T STOLEN OVERNIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW RANDOMLY FALLING, AGAIN! I'M TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AND LOOKING TO GO TO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS NOT A FORD. IF I KNEW I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WHEN THE INITIAL INCIDENT HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO WITH NO HESITATION. *TR

WE HAVE HAD 3 ACTUATORS ON OUR WINDOWS IN OUR FORD F-150 GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE ALMOST HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN THE LAST ONE "EXPLODED". IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE HAS SHOT THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT IS VERY HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING AND NOT SWERVE INTO ANOTHER CAR OR GO OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD VEHICLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WE DID GO OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE FIRST ONE BROKE, AND IF WE HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY WITH ANOTHER CAR BESIDE US, WE WOULD HAVE HIT IT. *TT

I WAS IN THE BACKSEAT WHILE MY HUSBAND AND FATHER-IN-LAW WERE IN THE FRONT. I WAS DRENCHED, AS WAS THE INTERIOR. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY BASICALLY SAID "NOT OUR PROBLEM", I CAN'T AFFORD THE $500+ IT COSTS TO GET IT FIXED, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE TALKED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THEM AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HASN'T BEEN FORCED TO DO A RECALL. WHAT IF SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT WAS HIT BY A HAILSTONE? WHAT IF THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND HIT THAT CHILD? WHAT IF THE WINDOW WENT DOWN WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION AND SOMEONE HAD CARJACKED ME? I COULD BE DEAD BECAUSE FORD WANTS TO PUT OUT SHODDY WORK AND NOT STAND BEHIND IT. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT THIS IS THE WORST. MY HANDLE FOR THE TILT STEERING WHEEL BROKE OFF AFTER 6 MONTHS, THE BACK PART OF THE SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ON MY 2005 FORD F-150 WON'T ROLL UP ANYMORE. WHILE DOING RESEARCH FOR PARTS I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

I AM AFRAID THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT I OR MY CHILDREN COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED WITHOUT THE WINDOW IN PLACE. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CORRECT A DEFECT. *TR

ON OCTOBER 13, 2010, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED IN THE SAME FASHION. BOTH INCIDENTS STRUCK ME AS VERY DANGEROUS WITH A COMPARABLY HIGH PROBABILITY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I DECIDED TO GET A LITTLE FRESH AIR SO I ROLLED MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOWN. WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL IT BACK UP THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND A POP. AFTER THIS MY WINDOW SLAMMED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I WAS SO STARTLED THAT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT HOME, I TOOK APART MY DOOR AND FOUND THAT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR HAD BROKEN. I CALLED THE FORD SERVICE DEPT ONLY TO FIND OUT THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $300. I FOUND THE PART THROUGH A NAPA DEALER AND REPAIRED THE PROBLEM MYSELF FOR AROUND $150.00 SINCE THIS INCIDENCE MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAVE BOTH SLAMMED DOWN. I NOW KNOW THE FAMILIAR SOUND OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR ABOUT TO FAIL. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I AM OUT OF POCKET FOR $150 PLUS MY TIME TO REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 FORD F150 FX4 AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN. I WAS SHOCKED NOT KNOWING AT ALL WHAT WAS GOING ON. I MOMENTARILY HAD LITTLE OR NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO MY SUDDEN SHOCK AND CONFUSION. ONCE I HAD REALIZED THAT THE WINDOW HAD BASICALLY JUST FALLEN FROM ITS CLOSED POSITION, I WAS FURIOUS. FURIOUS THAT SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A WINDOW SUDDENLY CRASHING OPEN, ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ENDANGERING MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY WIFE'S AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I KNOW THIS MAY NOT SEEM VERY DANGEROUS, BUT PUT YOURSELF IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND IMAGINE YOUR WINDOW BEING SHOT OUT WHILE TRAVELING 45MPH. IT WAS TERRIFYING, AND I AM LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD A MORE SERIOUS INCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. TO MY DISMAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR INSTALLED. BASICALLY, THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE WINDOW TO CRASH DOWN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE (SOME MULTIPLE TIMES) WITH EITHER THE 2004 OR 2005 YEAR MODELS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOW TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR THE LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHEN I RETURNED HOME I PULLED OFF THE PANEL AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY 2005 FORD F150 WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT REPAIRING THIS I NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH FORD'S WINDOW REGULATORS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THAT THERE IS A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BY PATRONS REPLACING UP TO FOUR WINDOWS IN ONE VEHICLE. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INSURANCE ISSUE REGARDING ACCIDENTS AND THEFT OF VEHICLE AND PROPERTY. THESE WINDOWS FALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR SURE! WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS SHOT AT IT SCARED ME SO BAD ESPECIALLY IN THESE TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE SHOOTERS OUT THERE ON THE FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS. THESE CAR MANUFACTURES ARE USING FAULTY PARTS TO THESE REGULATORS FOR THE WINDOWS AND WARRANTIES AND WILL NOT COVER THEM AS THE PARTS ARE NOT WARRANTED.

MY COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE WINDOW REGULATORS OF MY 2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4X4. I HAVE NOW HAD THE FRONT DRIVER AND REAR RIGHT REGULATORS FAIL DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THE REAR RIGHT FAILURE OCCURRED LAST FALL (AUGUST 2009) WHILE GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY DAUGHTER STARTED SCREAMING AS HER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT I DID HAVE WET CHILDREN AND WET INTERIOR. OF COURSE, THE CARWASH DENIED ANY WRONGDOING AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT FORD. IN DOING SO, FORD STATED THAT NHTSA DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL, SO THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO FIX/REPAIR AT THEIR OWN COST. NOT HAVING THE FUNDS AVAILABLE, I TORE THE DOOR PANEL OPEN, SLID THE WINDOW BACK UP IN THE TRACK, AND WEDGED A PIECE OF PVC PIPE TO KEEP THE GLASS IN PLACE. NOT A GREAT SOLUTION...BUT MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT FORD OFFERED TO DO. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED SATURDAY, JULY 11, 2010, MID-AFTERNOON. MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING TO A COMMUNITY FUNCTION. WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN GO OFF NEXT TO MY EAR. OUR INITIAL THOUGHT WAS WE HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD OR AN ANIMAL RAN INTO US. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, BUT DID NOT SEE ANY DAMAGE. AT THAT POINT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. WE CONTINUED ON TO OUR FUNCTION WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES. WHEN WE ARRIVED BACK AT THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, I STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS WHILE THE A/C COILED OFF AND THUD...THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW FELL DOWN. I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. TORE INTO THE DOOR WHEN WE GOT HOME AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR PULLEY FAILED IN THIS WINDOW ALSO. SO, I PUSHED THE GLASS BACK UP AND WEDGED ANOTHER PIECE OF PVC PIPE. ASIDE FROM THE RINGING IN MY EAR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON FROM THE "GUNSHOT", THERE WERE NO INJURIES. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND RESEARCH IN THIS MATTER. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 FORD F150 SUPERCAB TRUCK. I RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35MPH. THIS IS THE SECOND REGULATOR THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE (THE FIRST ONE OCCURRED THREE YEARS AGO). WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS THE WINDOW JUST DROPS COMPLETELY DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH NO WARNING. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT CAUSES A VERY BIG DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. THREE YEARS AGO, WHEN THE FIRST REGULATOR FAILED, I HAD MY VEHICLE PARKED (LUCKILY AT HOME) AND I NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION. I RECALLED ROLLING THE WINDOW UP WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE, SO I GOT IN IT TO PUT THE WINDOW IN THE UP POSITION. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND PRESSING THE UP BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS TIME IT WAS THE DRIVERS WINDOW. I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE NOT PARKED MY VEHICLE IN A PUBLIC PLACE WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYONE ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES DID NOT RESULT IN ANY INJURY OR LOSSES, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE CONCERNING VEHICLE SAFETY. I CONDUCTED SOME INTERNET RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT OTHER 2004-2005 F150 OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE WINDOW REGULATORS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE REMAINING 2 WINDOWS WILL FAIL OVER TIME. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATOR INSTALLED. ONE OF THE REGULATOR REPLACEMENTS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE MOST RECENT ONE WAS NOT. THIS REPAIR COST WAS $220. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT REGULAR MAINTENANCE NOR NORMAL VEHICLE CARE COULD PREVENT. THIS IS A DEFINITE EQUIPMENT FLAW THAT THE OWNER HAS NO WARNING OF WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. THEREFORE I FEEL THAT THESE REGULATORS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROADWAY. *TR

I HAD TO CALL A REPAIR MAN TO FIX IT AND HE CHARGED OVER $200.00 DOLLARS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE (SOMEONE COULD GET SCARED BECAUSE OF THE LOUD POP OR THE WINDOW FALLING INSIDE THE TRACK AS YOUR DRIVING CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE ROAD AND VEHICLES SURROUNDING THEM).I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF THAT AND THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL THE WINDOWS REGULATORS IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDING THE OTHER THREE WINDOWS IN MY TRUCK BEFORE IT DOES THE SAME THING AND CAUSE ANOTHER DISTRACTION. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING AS I WAS RESEARCHING ON THE COMPUTER THERE HAVE BEEN ALREADY MANY COMPLAINTS. [XXX] *TR

2005 F-150 FX4 5.4L TRITON 43,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING, I HEARD A LOUD THUD!! IN SHOCK, THINKING SOMETHING MAY HAVE CRASHED THROUGH MY WINDOW, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING VERY BUSY A.M TRAFFIC. I COULD NOT FIND ANY TRACE OF BROKEN GLASS. I THEN LOOKED INSIDE THE DOOR AND SAW THAT THE GLASS HAD JUST FALLEN IN????? I COULD PRESS THE BUTTON AND HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT FROM THE GLASS. TWO WEEKS LATER, WITH A 2X4 HOLDING THE WINDOW UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF A 35,000.00 DOLLAR AUTOMOBILE, ME MY TWO YEAR AND MY ELEVEN YEAR OLDS IN THE BACK, WERE ON INTERSTATE 10.UNBELIEVABLY, MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW COMES CRASHING DOWN AND EXPLODES IN THE DOOR!!!! WITH THE WIND RUSHING UNEXPECTEDLY IN, AND THE LOUD CRASH OF THE GLASS BREAKING IN THE DOOR, I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. KNOWING I HAD MY FAMILIES LIFE AT STAKE, I IMMEDIATELY GAINED CONTROL AND BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO A SCREECHING HALT IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. FROM THAT MOMENT, I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, CALLED FORD AND MADE COMPLAINTS. ACCORDING TO THE FORD PARTS PERSON I SPOKE TO THE OTHER DAY THE WINDOW REGULATOR PART# HAS CHANGED NOW 3 TIMES AND HE STATED THAT FORD NEVER CHANGES THE PART # UNLESS THERE IS A PHYSICAL CHANGE TO THE PART AND HE STATED THEY HAVE HAD "ISSUES" WITH THESE REGULATORS THUS THE CHANGE, HE STATED THAT THE NEWEST VERSION HAS BEEN BEEFED UP AROUND THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT KEEPS BREAKING OFF, HOPEFULLY THE NEWEST VERSIONS HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT AS YOU CAN SEE JUST BY THE FACT THAT FORD HAS CHANGED THE PART # 3 TIMES THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THEY NEED TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD ON ALL OF OUR WINDOWS. *TR

IT IS STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON FOR THE WINDOW TO GO DOWN, ONCE DOWN IT WON'T COME BACK UP. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY LIFT THE WINDOW BACK UP. THIS IS A NOTED AND CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WON'T ISSUE A RECALL OR DESIGN A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM FORD, THIS ISSUE STARTED WITH THE NEW MODEL THAT CAME OUT IN 2004. THE 2005 MODELS ARE PRONE TO THE DEFECT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR THREE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE TO WHICH I SEE NO RESOLVE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER. *TR

I CALLED A FORD DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND THAT THERE WAS A REDESIGN. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT AND THEY SAID THAT FORD DOESN'T CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEREFORE A RECALL IS NOT REQUIRED. I SAID THAT I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND MY WINDOW FALLS OUT WITH A LOUD BANG DISTRACTING ME AND BEING 35 DEGREES AND RAINING OUT AND THAT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

OWNER OF A 2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4X4. I CANNOT SAY THAT ANY PARTICULAR EVENT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE OF THIS ISSUE. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR POWER WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE WINDOW LIFT ASSEMBLY. APPARENTLY A CABLE CAME LOOSE THAT SUPPORTS THE WINDOW AND IT WILL NO LONGER STAY UP. THIS CREATES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT, NOT TO MENTION THEFT AND WEATHER CONCERNS. AS FAR AS REPAIR, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE REPLACEMENT COST FOR REPAIRS, WHICH WAS CLOSE TO $400.00. I BALKED AT THAT HAVING THIS REPAIRED CURRENTLY AND SIMPLY DUCT TAPED THE WINDOW UP TO AT LEAST PREVENT RAIN FROM ENTERING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE MYSELF (CANNOT WITHOUT $200 PART), BUT THE PART IN QUESTION IS STILL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD 2-3 WINDOWS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

AFTER I PULLED OVER AND CALMED DOWN AND REALIZED WHAT HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED I CONTINUED TO DRIVE SEVERAL MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET HOME. WITH TEMPS AT 25 DEGREES IT WAS VERY COLD FOR MY SON IN HIS CAR SEAT. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS IT'S VERY SCARY WHEN THE WINDOW SLAMS DOWN AND COULD CAUSE SOMEBODY TO GET IN ACCIDENT. WENT TO FORD AND THEY STATED I NEED A NEW WINDOW REGULATOR.....

IN THE PAST 25 MONTHS ALL 4 OF THE ELECTRIC WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2005 F150 SUPER CREW HAVE BROKEN AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 57K MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME FOR ALL, THE PLASTIC PARTS THAT RETAIN THE END OF THE DRIVE CABLE LET LOOSE AND THEN THE CABLE UNWRAPS FROM THE MOTOR PULLEY. SINCE FORD DOES NOT SELL ANY SERVICE PARTS FOR THESE REGULATORS THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $200 EACH. SO FAR IT HAS COST ME A TOTAL OF $815.56 AND I AM EXTREMELY UPSET OVER THIS SITUATION. AS A COMPARISON, I DROVE MY 1985 AND MY 1994 F150'S FOR 152K AND 204K MILES RESPECTIVELY AND NEVER HAD A SINGLE ELECTRIC WINDOW PROBLEM WITH EITHER. ALSO, THE SERVICE AND PARTS STAFF AT THE DEALERSHIP ADMIT THERE IS A HIGH FAILURE RATE ON THESE REGULATORS BUT FORD IS NOT ISSUING ANY RECALLS. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE WINDOW REGULATORS AND REIMBURSE THE COSTS PAID BY THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALREADY.

DRIVING AROUND WITH WINDOWS DOWN IN MY 2005 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL UP THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG THAT MADE ME THINK THAT I HAD BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK THE DOOR PANEL APART AND FOUND THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR CABLE WAS MANGLED AND IT HAD BROKEN FREE FROM ONE OF THE WINDOW SLIDES. WHEN I TRIED TO FIND THE PARTS ONLINE I CAME ACROSS A FORUM ON COMPLAINTS.COM. APPARENTLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME LOUD POP OR BANG WHICH IS VERY STARTLING AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SEVERAL OF THE PEOPLE WROTE THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR AND EVEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH EACH DOOR. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT IN LAS VEGAS AND THEY KEEP LOTS OF THEM IN STOCK BECAUSE IT IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE.

WITHIN THE LAST TREE MONTHS (SHORTLY AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRATION) THREE OF FOUR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED IN MY F-150. THE DEALER INDICATES THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REPAIR ACTIONS FOR F-150'S. THIS IS CLEARLY A WELL DOCUMENTED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT PRODUCT DEFICIENCY THAT IS ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN THE FAILURES OCCUR THE WINDOW DROPS INTO THE DOOR PANEL. MY MOST RECENT FAILURE WAS DURING A SERIOUS RAIN STORM WITH MY CHILD SITTING AT THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WHEN IT FAILED AND FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. ALTHOUGH THIS FORD DEFECT IS WIDELY DOCUMENTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS DOING NOTHING FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS. THE COST FOR POWER WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENTS IN MY LESS THAN FOUR YEAR OLD 2005 F-150 (EACH DOOR HAS A DIFFERENT PART/PRICE EACH OF WHICH WAS OVER $400) HAS ALREADY EXCEEDED ALL OF MY COMBINED REPAIR COSTS FOR MY PREVIOUS F-150 OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN A DIE HARD FORD PRODUCT BUYER (PINTO, TEMPO, GRANADA, MERCURY MARQUIS, RANGER AND THREE F-150'S) BUT QUALITY, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOYALTY TO THE CUSTOMER NO LONGER HOLD ANY VALUE TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM ACTUALLY CONSIDERING TRADING IN MY FORD FOR A CHEVY (UGHHH) TO AVOID ANOTHER WINDOW REPAIR THAT COULD BE APPLIED TO A NEW VEHICLE PAYMENT. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, AFTER DEALING WITH THESE F-150 WINDOW PROBLEMS, IF FORD IS NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM AND PROPERLY SUPPORT THEIR CONSUMERS I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT.*TR

LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING F150S I CLOSED MY DOOR AND HEAR A LOUD POP SOUND FROM MY DOOR. I FIRST BELIEVED THAT THE DOOR HAD SLAMMED ON SOMETHING, SO I OPENED THE DOOR AND LOOKED, THERE WAS NOTHING. ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING LATER MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY AND QUITE FORCEFULLY FELL INSIDE THE PANEL. AFTER I GOT HOME I TOOK THE DOOR APART AND FOUND A TANGLE OF WIRE AND WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM. AFTER REMOVING ALL THE PARTS IN ACORDANCE WITH THE CHILTON'S MANUAL, AND RECONSTRUCTING THE ELECTRIC WINDOW ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR BECAUSE IT WAS 20*F OUTSIDE I DISCOVERED THAT THE ACTUAL DEFECT CAME FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET THAT SUPPORTS THE WINDOW AND SLIDES UP AND DOWN ON THE RAIL WAS THE REASON FOR THE DEFECT. I THEN TRIED TO FIND THE PART BY GOOGLE-ING "F150 WINDOW REPAIR GLASS MOUNT" AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A WHOLE LIST OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THE ELECTRIC WINDOW KIT IT ONLY SOLD MOTOR AND ALL FOR 199.99, WHILE ALL THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS THE CLIP WHICH EVEN AS A DEALER PART WOULD ONLY BE 15-20 DOLLARS BY MY ESTIMATION.

2005 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW PICKUP WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK (QUITE COMMONLY), CAUSING THE WINDOW TO NO LONGER HAVE ANY SUPPORT. THE WINDOW THEN CAN FALL ABRUPTLY AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE DRIVER TENDS TO THINK THAT THE VEHICLE HAS GOTTEN HIT BY SOMETHING LARGE, AND SWERVES TO AVOID IT. THIS CAN RESULT IN DRIVING OFF OF THE ROAD OR INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORD DENIES THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ARE NOT FIT FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE, AND REFUSES TO RELEASE A PROPERLY ENGINEERED PART. A CURSORY EXAMINATION OF THE REGULATOR WILL SHOW THAT IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE LOADS AND STRESSES THAT EXIST IN THE WINDOW SYSTEM. REPLACING THE PART WITH THE CURRENT DESIGN ONLY STARTS THE CLOCK OVER ON WHEN THE WINDOW WILL FALL AGAIN. AFTER-MARKET REGULATORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

IT HAD BEEN LOCKING UP FOR SEVERAL DAYS ON AND OFF. COST TO REPAIR IS ABOUT $300, SO UNTIL I CAN AFFORD IT, THE WINDOW IS HELD IN PLACE WITH VICE-GRIPS. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY SUCH PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL, BUT I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET SIMPLY BY TYPING "2005 FORD F-150 WINDOW PROBLEMS" INTO GOOGLE. *TR

WAS SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD POP. WHEN I STARTED TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN ON MY 2005 FORD F150 SUPER CAB, THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN AND SOUNDED LIKE BROKEN GLASS. AFTER REMOVING THE PANEL I SAW THE CABLE MESSED UP. THEN AFTER GOOGLING TO FIND AN ANSWER, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT DOZENS, PERHAPS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR. THE PLASTIC CLIP BREAKS AND THE CABLE GETS MESSED UP. FORD IS MAKING A KILLING OFF OWNERS BY USING CHEAP, BREAKABLE PARTS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED! I HAVE NO MONEY TO REPLACE THIS REGULATOR RIGHT NOW, SO I AM AT THE MERCY OF THE GODS IN HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T STEAL MY TRUCK, OR IT DOESN'T RAIN, SINCE WITH THIS PART BROKEN THE WINDOW WILL NOT STAY UP. PLEASE PUSH THIS THROUGH FOR A RECALL! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 F150 FORD FX4 , AND TWO FRONT WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOOR WITHIN THREE MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TRUCK, THAT THE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FAULTY.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM? *TR

I HAD AN INCIDENT WITH MY 2005 FORD F-150 WINDOW REGULATOR IN WHICH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST DROPPED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MARCH OF 2008. BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT CAUSED THE WINDOW JUST TO DROP DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND HE STATED THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE '04 AND '05 F-150'S. AT THAT TIME I TOLD HIM THAT I WANTED THE OTHER WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED. HE ASKED IF I HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE OTHER ONES AND I REPLIED THAT I HAD NOT YET. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERN BEING THAT THE TRUCK WOULD BE OUT OF WARRANTY IN 3 MONTHS AND THAT I WANTED IT TO BE FIXED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HE TOLD ME THAT IF I DID HAVE A PROBLEM AND IT WAS DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. TWENTY FOUR DAYS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I WAS NOT WINDING IT UP OR DOWN, IT JUST DROPPED DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR WITH A LOUD CRASH. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND I ALMOST HIT THE MEDIAN GUARD RAIL. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I COULD SEE THE TOP OF THE WINDOW THROUGH THE OPENING AND FIGURED IT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WINDOW REGULATOR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH FORD. I HAVE WRITTEN FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND ONLY EVER RECEIVED ONE RESPONSE. THEY ASKED WHAT I WANTED DONE AND I REPLIED THAT I JUST WANTED IT REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO OTHER RESPONSES FROM FORD AND MY WINDOW IS STILL NOT FIXED. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE IN RAIN AND 110 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITHOUT A DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEM. *TR

NORMAL DRIVING WITH WINDOWS UP, HEARD LOUD BANG AND WE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT OR THROWN SOMETHING AT OUR PICKUP. THEN I NOTICED DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SLOWLY SLIDING DOWN AND FINALLY FALLING INTO DOOR. PICKUP IS FOR ALL INTENTS UNSAFE. CAN NOT PUT UP WINDOW. I SEE ON OTHER WEBSITES AND THIS ONE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS WITH A SAFETY RECALL. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

IN OCTOBER OF 2007 DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE THE RIGHT HAND PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY FELL INTO THE DOOR RENDERING THE WINDOW INOPERABLE. IN DECEMBER OF 2007 THE 2ND FAILURE OF A WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY OCCURRED ON THE RIGHT HAND REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WHILE AGAIN OPERATING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE WINDOW, AGAIN, FELL INTO THE DOOR AND COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. THE 3RD FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY OCCURRED DURING AUGUST OF 2008. THIS TIME THE DRIVER'S WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RETRIEVED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY WAS AT FAULT IN EACH INSTANCE. THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS WERE COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY, THE THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED (37,618 MILES) AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN A FREQUENT PROBLEM SEEN WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS BASICALLY RENDERED INOPERABLE DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, SECURITY, ETC. I AM ANTICIPATING THE FAILURE OF THE REMAINING WINDOW (LEFT HAND PASSENGER) TO OCCUR AT ANY UNKNOWN MOMENT. ALL ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION OF THE PART, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. NO ASSEMBLIES WERE ALLOWED TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO ACTUAL FAILURE OF THE REGULATOR UNLESS I WAS WILLING TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT CHARGES. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH THIS DEFECTIVE REGULATOR AND REPLACE IT AT NO CHARGE WITH THE IMPROVED PART. *TR

2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4 DOOR TRUCK-FAILED POWER WINDOW REGULATOR (FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR). DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEAR A LOUD BANG. THE NOISE WAS LOUD AND I COULD NOT BE SURE THAT SOMETHING HAD NOT BEEN THROWN OR SHOT AT MY TRUCK. AS I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FALLING INTO THE DOOR. I TRIED TO HOLD THE WINDOW UP WHILE ALSO TRYING TO CONTROL THE CAR. MY DOG, A 90 LB BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AREA AND WHEN THE WINDOW DROPPED OPEN, HE JUMPED TO PUSH HIS HEAD OUT THE NOW OPEN WINDOW ONLY ADDING MORE TO THE SAFETY AND CONTROL CHALLENGES. THE FAILURE WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE. THE TRUCK IS ONLY USED FOR LIGHT YARD-RELATED WORK AND DOES NOT GO OFF ROAD. THE WINDOWS ARE SELDOM OPERATED AS AIR-CONDITIONING IS TYPICALLY RUNNING IN THE HEAT OF FLORIDA. THIS WAS THE FIRST EVENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT REP INDICATED THE REGULATOR IS A NEW PART IN THE F150 AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY TRUCK.

2005 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4 DOOR TRUCK-FAILED POWER WINDOW REGULATOR (PASSENGER SIDE DOOR/THIRD REGULATOR FAILURE ON THIS TRUCK, DIFFERENT WINDOW). DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I AND MY WIFE HEAR A LOUD BANG. SHE IS AFRAID AS THE NOISE WAS LOUD AND FOR THE MOMENT WE COULD NOT BE SURE THAT SOMETHING HAD NOT BEEN THROWN OR SHOT AT MY TRUCK. AS I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I REMEMBERED THE OTHER REGULATOR FAILURES AND THEN NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NEXT TO MY WIFE FALLING INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE SO I KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT. THE FAILURE WAS ONCE AGAIN A TOTAL SURPRISE. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BE USED ONLY FOR LIGHT YARD-RELATED WORK AND DOES NOT GO OFF ROAD. THE WINDOWS ARE SELDOM OPERATED AS AIR-CONDITIONING IS TYPICALLY RUNNING IN THE HEAT OF FLORIDA. THIS WAS THE THIRD EVENT FOR THIS VEHICLE. FAILURE OF WINDOW REGULATORS AND THE WINDOW FALLING INTO THE DOOR PRESENTS AN EXTREME POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR OCCUPANTS (CHILDREN AND ANIMALS) IN THE CAR, AS WELL AS LOADS BEING LOST OUT THE WINDOW. THE TORRENTIAL RAINS IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA IN THE SUMMER MAKE THESE FAILURES EVEN MORE PROBLEMATIC. ONCE AGAIN, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT REP INDICATED THE REGULATOR IS A NEW PART IN THE F150 AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE SEEN ON THIS VEHICLE. HE ENCOURAGED US TO REPORT IT TO THE COMPANY TO ALERT THEM TO THE POTENTIAL NEED FOR A RECALL. WE DID AND FORD INDICATED RECALLS WERE NHTSA'S CONCERN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE REGULATOR AND INDICATED I SHOULD PASS MY COMPLAINT ON TO FORD. *TR

8/26/07 FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FALLS. 7/19/08 FRONT DRIVER WINDOW FALLS. 1ST FIXED WARRANTY. 2ND FIXED $100 DEDUCTIBLE (EXTENDED WARRANTY). CONTINUAL RECURRING PROBLEM JUST AFTER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO INTERNET. APPROX. FORD CHARGE $200+ AND 1.5 HRS. (INTERNET). 3 FORD MECHANICS SAY 15 MIN. FIX AND A TRUCK OWNER SAYS 35-45 MINUTES IN HIS DRIVEWAY (INTERNET). THE FAULTY CABLE CAN'T BE PURCHASED FROM DEALER (FOR DO-IT-YOURSELF) WITHOUT BUYING WINDOW ALSO (INTERNET). THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT SEEMS TO BE A MONEY MAKER FOR FORD. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN AGGRAVATION AND INCONVENIENCE, BUT ALSO A SECURITY (SAFETY) PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION CAN OCCUR WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND DRIVER NOT IN ATTENDANCE. UPON RETURNING, DRIVER MAY FIND MUGGER IN BACK, CONTENTS MISSING OR VEHICLE STOLEN DUE TO EASY ACCESS THROUGH FALLEN WINDOW. *TR

NORMAL USE OF MY 2005 FORD F-150 IN THE PAST TWO YEARS HAS LEAD TO A FEW ITEM I BELIEVE CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LATEST IS THE DRIVERS SEAT BREAKING ITS LOWER FRAME AND SEAT PAD TRAY. FORD HAS YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS THEY CLAIM PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THE SEAT IS "ROCKING" DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND IS A CONCERN OF MINE IF IT SHOULD TOTALLY FAIL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN USE LEADING TO A CRASH. IT IS ALSO AT A SLIGHT TILT CAUSING ME TO SIT IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT THE PARTS ARE STILL ON ORDER TO FIX IT. THIS IS A UN-REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO HAVE TO WAIT. ALSO 3 OUT OF THE FIVE WINDOWS OF MY TRUCK HAVE BROKEN, THIS RESULTS IN THE WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKING CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS LEAVES ME AND MY VEHICLE OPEN TO THE WEATHER AND/OR BEING UNSECURED IF DRIVING IN A LESS THAN SAFE AREA. THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE SAME DAY WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR PARTS AS THE DEALER HAS STATED "WE KEEP THE PARTS AVAILABLE AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM". BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX THE OTHER TWO UNTIL THEY BREAK AS FORD WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO UNLESS THEY BREAK. AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO ME THE ISSUE SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE ANY OTHER WINDOWS FAIL. *NM
