I have a 2004 ford f150 lariat supercrew. On 6/11/09 i rolled all the windows down to air out the vehicle and then rolled them back up and heard a loud pop coming from the right rear window. Then the glass just fell down into the door. On 6/22/09, the same thing happened to the left rear window. After searching on-line i discovered that this is a very common problem with other owners of ford f-150s. I then called…

While driving on the freeway, i heard a loud pop (sounded like a gunshot) that made me swerve. After stabilizing my truck, i realized that the cause of the loud pop was a broken window regulator on the passenger side. Then yesterday again i was driving and the other window did the same thing, this has now happened to me 3 times!!!!!!! *tr

I have a 2004 f150 truck that my deceased husband owned. He passed in 2006, therefore the truck sits in my garage most of the time. It only has 28,000 miles on it. I drive a 2004 mustang. I was rolling the window down over the weekend, and it started graveling and suddently just fell in the inside of the door. I took it to the ford dealership where we purchased the truck and it cost $390.79 for them to repair the…

It happen so fast that i thought i have been hit that made me lose my been alert while i was driving. I almost hit a car head on and felt sick. I have seen in the web just how big a problem ford has with windows falling down but yet they say there is no problem.…

1. The driver's front window failed and fell down into the door. It will not roll back up. It has not yet been replaced. Apparently a very common problem with this model of vehicle. As a rescue worker i see how this could be a safety problem if this were to happen while driving down the road. The window could shatter and cause a wreck. *tr

Window sounded like gravel was in it, then window fell while driving. Seems to be a common problem on the 2004 f150s, and ford will not cover, and to boot..the part alone is over 200$ and of course they stock them....because they go out. Volkswagen had a similar issue, but with their clips, but they had the guts to admit they were bad and replaced them for free.... *tr

Today 5/7/09, however when i woke up and went outside, my rear drivers side window was down, i again tried to roll up the window and herd the same crunching sound, but this…

I have a 2004 f-150. The window regulator broke and the window will not go up. This is the second time this has happened. The first time my truck was parked in a parking lot not being used while i was in afghanistan. It was taken to the local louisiana ford dealership where they said it happened all the time. I was charged around $400 for the repair. About 4 months later the same problem happened while my parents…

Passenger window regulator failed for the second time, window slammed and almost caused an accident while driving. Drivers one replaced 5 months ago. Now being told that the rear two are "going out" as well and need to be replaced. Dealership recognizes that there is a problem with these regulators, called ford customer relationship center and all they would do was offer me a $750 gift card if i agree to buy a new…

Driver side window made a pop while going down, the window stopped about halfway down and then would not go up or down, the window motor still operates, and the window is in the track. The operation cable the moves the window up and down broke off at its connector, resulting in the unit needing to be replace. This is a frequent complaint on these vehicles. *tr

2004 ford f150, 40k miles. Driving down road, hear loud pop, then the drivers side window fell into the door. Luckily glass did not shatter. Determined that window regulator had failed causing the problem (loud pop then window falling into door). Subsequent search of this failure indicated it is quite common. Federal government should require ford to issue a recall to proactively replace these defective parts. Could…

Drivers side window was down sunday, warm out, went to put it up and nothing worked, just a grinding noise. After removing the door panel , window regulator gone bad, wiring everywhere. After a minor internet search thousands of complaints about this part. Apparently when they fail the window drops and in some instances the windows break, causing major damage in the door. This is a safety hazard . Now i have to pay…

My 2004 ford f-150 with ~15000 miles had the passenger window "pop" and fall inside the door. While fixing i found several forums complaining about how common this problem is and insisting that it is unacceptable. I agree, so i am adding my voice to the list of people unhappy with the defect. *tr

I recently returned to my truck after purchasing a movie to have my driver side window slam down into the door when closing it. The motor is now making a grinding, crackling noise but the window will not move. Ford needs to step up and take responsibility for faulty parts and fix the problem. *tr

I was driving when i heard a loud pop! At that point my driver side window rolled down and couldn't be rolled back up. Ford said they would look at it for 200.00 and that was just to look at it. I tore into it myself and found the window regulator to be broken. Ford wants to charge me 198.00 for the whole assembly. This i believe to be rediculous. Also my passenger side window does not want to role up with the…

My 1 and a half yr old son and i had just pulled up to church. I rolled down the front passenger window to talk to a relative and as i pressed the down button i heard a loud pop. I wasn't sure what the noise was, so i went to quickly roll the window up and check the outside of the truck. As i tried to roll the window up, i realized it was the window that made the pop because the window quickly fell the rest of the…

As i was putting the widow up each time i heard a loud screeching noise as it approached the top of the door, then i heard the breaking of glass inside the door, then the window dropped completely down inside the door and it will not come up. This is twice i have had to replace it at a cost of about $400. This occurred on…

We recently purchased a 2004 ford f150 supercab. Two of the windows did not roll down properly from that door, but did so from the driver's switch at the time, so i figured it was a problem with the individual switches. Then later the next week, the driver's window and switch began to fail. The window may roll down, but may not roll back up when the switch is pressed. Each door is sporadic with these symptoms. I…
