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…

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.

While driving on the interstate the drivers side window, without warning, fell down into the door. I heard a popping sound and the window disappeared. I feel this is a safety issue because of the sudden distraction could have caused me to loose control of the vehicle. I looked at your web site and discovered this a common problem with this truck and believe ford should be required to address the issue.

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…
