2004 Ford F-150 Visibility

2004 FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. I HAD TWO WINDOW FAILURES IN THE SAME DAY, AND HAD ONE FIXED THIS PAST JULY 2010. THIS IS THREE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES IN A MATTER OF 3 MONTHS. ACCORDING TO THE WEB THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT TO FORD TRUCKS AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL DUE TO THE REGULATOR FAILURES! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK, AND WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING WHAM THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CAME CRASHING DOWN AND SHE NEARLY WRECKED DUE TO THE SCARE. MY COMPLAINT IS THE REGULATOR HAS GONE OUT. I LOOKED INTO HAVING THIS REPAIRED AND WAS SHOCKED AS TO HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THEIR WERE ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR AND AM WONDERING WHAT IT WILL TAKE BEFORE FORD OR NHTSA DOES SOMETHING "RECALL" . I PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT TAKE THE LOSS OF LIFE TO HAVE THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC REPLACED. *TR

POWER WINDOWS BREAKING. DRIVER WINDOW MADE A LOUD POP AND WINDOW FELL INSIDE DOOR. 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON PASSENGER SIDE AFTER WINDOW STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. THE TWO REAR WINDOWS ARE NOW MAKING THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET BECAUSE IT COST TO MUCH TO FIX. *TR

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

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. CAUSED ME TO BE DISTRACTED - ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING HAD HIT ME. THIS IS ALSO 2ND WINDOW TO FAIL LIKE THIS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2004 FORD F150 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAIL 5 TIMES! WINDOW FALLS DOWN INSIDE OF DOOR IT HAPPENED ONCE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN POURING DOWN RAIN! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEAR A LOUD BANG FROM MY DRIVERS DOOR. I THOUGHT SOMEBODY HAD HIT ME OR THREW SOMETHING AT MY VEHICLE. I LOST FOCUS OF MY DRIVING TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AROUND ME. THEN MY DRIVERS WINDOW DROPPED AND THIS SCARED ME AND CAUSE ME TO SWERVE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY VEHICLE ARE FAILING ALL THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED A MONTH AGO AND I NOW HAVE THREE OF MY FOUR WINDOWS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY DOORS APART AND PERMANENTLY FIX MY WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATORS. NOW WITH MY WINDOWS IN THE UP POSITION I HOPE I DON'T NEED TO GET OUT OR THEM FOR ANY UNFORESEEN INCIDENT. *TR

I CAME OUTSIDE TO FIND THAT MY PASSENGER SINE WINDOW WAS DOWN. I WENT TO TRY TO ROLL IT UP AND ALL I HEARD WAS THE WINDOW MOTOR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLD THE WINDOW REGULATOR CABLE HAD BROKE. I AM LUCKY THAT NOBODY HAD STOLEN MY BELONGINGS. AND WHAT IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE WINDOW WERE TO FALL INTO THE DOOR AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT? AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW CAME DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP, I TOOK OFF THE TRIM COVERS AND WAS BRAIDED WIRE ALL OVER THE PLACE, I ORDERED A REGULATOR TO INSTALL BUT AFTER ANOTHER 2 DAYS THE REAR PASSENGER WIDOW DID THEY EXACT SAME THING.......I AM STILL WAITING ON PART FOR THE FIRST WINDOW BUT SEEMS INSANE THAT THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN ON ANOTHER WINDOW JUST 2 DAYS APART THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SOMETHING GETS STOLEN BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F150, THREE OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POOR DESIGN FROM FORD.

THE WINDOWS JUST SIMPLY FALL DOWN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. ONE OF THE INCIDENTS MY FAMILY & I WERE ON THE FREEWAY & WHEN ONE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT IT CAUSED A LOUD SOUND, WE ACTUALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT US. SOON AFTER THE SOUND OF THE WIND NOT CIRCULATING PROPERLY WAS MAKING OUR EARS HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD!! *TR

THEN I GO ONLINE AND FIND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS THAT FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT, SO NOW I HAVE TO REPAIR THIS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TR

I'M NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND SURELY WON'T BE THE LAST; I WAS ON MY LUNCH BREAK WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO ROLL DOWN MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW THEN POW IT HAPPENED. YEP, THE[XXX] WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. I PROCEEDED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW, BUT ONLY HEARD A GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE DOOR. SOUND FAMILIAR?? THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP AND IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. FORD SAYS IT WILL COST 400 OR SO DOLLARS IT COSTS TO FIX IT. I'M GOING TO HOLD OUT 'TIL FORD REALIZES THEY'VE MASS PRODUCED A BUNCHA [XXX] PARTS AND HAS A RECALL ON THEM!
