    I bought a 2004 ford f-150 supercrew truck last october. When i took it home from the dealer, i rolled down the passenger-side rear window and it just dropped inside the door. I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it. I thought it was just a random incident or that it just came off the track and no big deal. Well, a couple days ago (now that i've had it for 1 year and no warranty) i picked up my kids from…

    We own a 2004 f150 lariat 4x4 pickup with just over 50k miles on it. In less than 3 months two (2) of the four (4) power windows have dropped without warning. These windows have simply fallen down driving the vehicle without any bumps or accidents preceding them falling. What is worse is that my two year daughter was in car seat yesterday next to the back window that dropped as we were driving. What if some debris…

    Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f-150. The contact noticed that the paint on the hood and the front end of the vehicle was abnormally chipping. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the failure resulted from when the vehicle was manufactured. The coating of the paint was 10-12 mm.

    I own a 2004 f150 supercrew. I purchased the vehicle with 24000 on it, and i also purchased an extended warranty that was suppose to cover the vehicle bumper to bumper. Or, so i was told when i purchased the coverage. In addition to having the rear window repaired twice the side windows also seem to be defective. My first window fell when i only had 37000 on the vehicle. So much for an extended warranty. I still had…

    An excruciating high pitch noise is produced from the dashboard area of my 2004 f150 heritage at speeds between 20-40mph. The noise produces an earache equal to a small migraine after 30 minutes. The dealer has overhauled the transfer case and taken the transmission out to replace bearings but the problem still exists. Dealer has stated that they hear the noise but doesn't know how to fix the problem. My truck has…

    Was driving my 2004 ford f-150 supercab pickup truck (4.6l v8 2wd) at highway speed when i heard a loud bang and scared me enough to nearly lose control of my vehicle.

Now it will cost me nearly $400 to replace when it is just a plastic clip. Turns…
