2004 ford f150 power window actuator failed for the 4th time. Ford has indicated this to be a problem but has yet to fix/recall. Three separate windows have failed and now one has failed twice. The part is approx. $140.00 to replace without labor. My f150 has 75,000 miles on it and the first time it happened was at 45n000 miles. *tr

This is a failure of 2 windows within 2 days in a catastrophic failure mode. I was not harmed in this specific…

Rolling down drivers windows and heard loud bang then grinding and window slowly sank down and will not go back up. I removed door panel and found twisted wires and broken plastic from the windows regulator. Only 24000 miles. Quality is crap...should be recalled before all my other ones do the same thing and i have to pay for ford's incompetence. *tr

2004 xlt regular cab: under 14,000 miles on the vehicle and when i go to roll up the window the other day, i hear a pop and it sank back into the door. Another bad window regulator! Quoted $380 to fix from the dealer. If you read previous comments on the 2004 f-150 you'll see that this is quite the common problem. And for every post about window problems on this website, how many other people have this problem and…

My f150 lariat supercrew 4x4 only has 19,000 miles on it and is very well kept. While power rolling my window up, i heard a loud bang, like my truck had been hit. Upon inspection i noted that my driver side front window would not stay up. After contacting my local ford dealer (advantage ford) i was informed that it was a faulty window regulator unit and that it was a common problem. I contacted ford in the desire…

I have a 2004 f140 supercrew 4x4. Last week i heard a pop come from my passenger side rear door and not a minute later my window fell down in the door. Two days later i heard the same pop come from my passenger side front door. Two regulators popped with in three days. I can't afford to fix them right now so i'm riding around with vise grips holding my windows up. This is ridiculous. This is the second ford pickup…

Drivers side window regulator failed, cable snapped and the window fell into the door. Replaced, cost me $350. Right side rear just failed, haven't repaired as of yet. From the sounds of it i should expect more failures. This isn't right!! Does someone need to get hurt before action is taken to have this issue recalled? *tr

I have had 2 window regulators fail on my vehicle within 2 months. The regulators have been on separated windows but both have been on the drivers side. At any given moment the cable snaps and the window falls down into the door. My first instance was the end of july while on a road trip. Now it is the beginning of october and my rear window dropped into the door frame with 57k miles on my vehicle. I do have an…

I went to put up the passenger side rear window, heard a snap, then the window sank into the door. This is a safety issue, both potentially for theft and for injury. I am no longer covered under warranty, for this issue. There are many ford f150 owners experiencing the same issue, on multiple windows and is an ongoing issue. I am having the window regulator replaced at significant expense. I've owned vehicles 10…

Three incidents with the power windows have occurred in the past two years. Windows have fallen and won't roll back up. The regulators seems to keep breaking with normal operation. The first one to go was the rear driverside door, then 6 months later, the front drivers side door, then 4 months later the front passengers side door. *tr

I was driving and went to roll down my driver side window on the way home from work and the whole window just dropped into my door never to be seen again. To my luck, it began to rain.....badly. As if getting wet wasn't enough, every time a vehicle would pass me going the other direction at an intersection i would get splashed with nasty road water in my face!!! It sprayed me so bad once when a vehicle passed me…
