I parked my 04 f150 in a public parking lot, locked it, and shut the door. I heard a popping sound, turned around and my drivers side passenger window was down. I opened the passenger door, and the window had fallen down in the door. I tried to roll it up and it did nothing but make a grinding noise. From what i've read, it has happened to countless ford pick ups. I can't afford to fix yet, so i have a piece of wood…

Driver & passenger windows fell down into the door while driving on 2 separate occasions. Just heard a loud crack when the window gave out and dropped with full force into the door. Was on a trip driving through rain/hail storm when passenger window gave out. Ford will not replace as it is out of warranty and new parts ordered and replaced. *tr

Drivers side window regulator failed, window 'fell' while vehicle in motion. Electric window now is inoperable. Ford will not fix under warr, or recall. Part if very expensive and not a re-designed part, still original equip, faulty design. I cannot and willnot put the same type of part back in, so my window has been made to stay in the upright position. I believe it's a safety hazard to not be able to have a…

2004 ford f-150 super-crew. I was turning left on a major intersection. Heard a loud crack and my driver-side window fell from sight. It startled me enough to make me swerve. Window regulator failure. Incident date - july 27, 2010 repair is expensive. Searching for a cheaper option than the dealer. I have concern of this happening again. *tr

Rear window failure- 2004 f150 there are thousands of these complaints on the net and ford does nothing. 115 in arizona and air can't keep up with a window that won't stay up. If my young sons dies because of the heat then it will be to late, then ford will be paying big time. *tr

2004 ford f-150 drivers door window regulator suddenly failed and window fell down inside the door without any way to put window back up while driving down the road. Of course it was raining.

After doing research on this i guess that i was lucky that it lasted as long as it did. Looks…

I have a 2004 ford f150 lariat super crew cab. In the past 2 years i have had to have the power switches and regulators replaced in three doors on my truck. The latest being friday, july 16, 2010. I have looked on numerous sites on the internet and see that this is a common problem with this truck. I called ford and they say it is not a problem from their standpoint. This is a very costly problem to repair and…

Failed window regulator. Actually the third over 1 year. First the drivers side window regulator failed, plastic slide became brittle, cable broke away and smacked the inside of the door hard enough that it scared me...i thought i had been shot at by a gun! Did not lose control of the vehicle but if i had been in congested traffic, i might have. That was may 30, 2009. Exactly one month later on june 30, 2009 the…

On 6-1-10 the passenger side power window failed on my 2004 ford f-150 truck. On 7-31-10 the drivers side window also failed. On each occasion the failure was preceded by an alarming bang from the door, on each occasion loss of vehicle control was narrowly avoided. These failures were fixed at ford dealers totaling $ 656.00 on both occasions the dealer retained the failed parts. *tr

The 3rd window regulator in my ford 150 has failed. All have dropped while driving down a road. Two on a freeway. I have small children and don't need them that close to an open window. I have had two regulators replaced in the past 1.5 years and now need to have another one replaced! *tr

I have a ford f150 2004 with only 45000 miles and the windows in the rear dropped will driving and my 8 year old son was sitting in the back seat. This is the second time. I am afraid this will become an extreme hazard and someone will end up hurt. Ford needs to fix this problem... Its will...if it hasn't already cost someone to crash and possibly lose a life. *tr

Problem power windows, within one week the drivers window fell to the bottom of the door, and next on the freeway the passenger window slammed down, apparently the cables are inferior. So how come no recall for this junk. Ford wants 700 to replace with the same inferior parts. Ford f150. And no i don't live on a dirt road and it's not a [redacted] vehicle. *tr

I own a 2004 ford f-150. I have now replaced my fourth window regulator in less than a 1 1/2 year span. I have spent over $12000.00 replacing them. Two of the windows hadn't been used when they just dropped down and wouldn't go back up. Motor/gear just grinded. Ford needs to do a recall on these regulators. *tr
