The power windows on my f-150 have failed on four different occasions, with one window failing twice. A family member was driving the first time this occurred and was fortunate not to wreck the vehicle. The latest occurrence was fortunate that it occurred while i was in the parking lot of the mall. It is evident by the number of complaints that ford is not taking this problem as serious as they should. *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…

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…

Right rear window in my 2004 ford f150 fell while driving home on i10 with a infant and a two year old in their car seats. I am really upset that ford has done nothing about this. We had to drive over 150 miles with the window down in approx. 107 degree weather in arizona. Please make them fix the problem. Exactly one month later the passenger side rear window fell down as well so now i have two pinned up windows…

While driving i heard a loud, metallic-sounding pop from one of my doors, followed by the window sliding down into the door. The window would not respond to the power window button. The local dealership performing the repair has quoted the power window regulator assembly as being the problem, and quoted $450 to replace the defective part. *tr

On thursday, august 13, 2009, i was putting my son in my truck to head off to work. As we pulled away, he started saying something about the window. I looked back and the window next to him was down about 3 inches. By the time we got to his daycare, the window was all the way down. I had to go back home, pull the window up and jam it into place. I won't be able to take it in until monday. This is at least the 5th…

I have a 2004 ford f-150 fx4. I bought this truck last september and it has 42000 miles on it. For the past week my window has been making a grinding sound like maybe sand in the parts when i roll it down. Today the window popped and fell down. I feel this is a safety hazard to me or any passengers. I took the door panel off and the pieces that look broken are plastic. I refuse to pay $400.00 to get it fixed. *tr

In the process, on impact, the glass from the mirror exploded. When the mirror exploded, only then, the shattered glass flew into the window cutting a vane in my right arm. I bleed profusely for 20 min. I managed to slow down the bleeding but eventually went to…

My drivers side window just fell open while driving and would not go back up. After investigating the power window unit had broken. 7 days later the same thing happened to the rear passenger window. The dealer told me this is common and is a defect but ford refuses to recall them. The dealer said it will most likely happen to your other 2 windows as well! $400 each to repair. *tr
