    2004 ford f150 5.4l v8 xlt 2x4 supercab. Apparently the window regulator on the drivers side has failed. Upon internet research it seems that this is a common problem that is a huge safety issue. As a stay at home dad of 2 children 2years old and under, i simply can't have a window fall into the door while driving. Luckily the regulator failed late at night and did not pose a problem with the kids being in the…

    2004 f-150 supercrew 2wd. Passenger window slid down without warning. Tried to raise it but nothing happened. Can hear the motor running but will not raise the window. Thought it just came off the track, brought it to the shop and was told it would be $250-300 for repair. Then i saw all the other complaints on this site... Sounds like there is a good case for a recall to fix a sub-par part. *tr
