The third (of fourth) different window regulator broke recently resulting in another trip to the ford service department. There have been a total of three broken regulator cables break within the past year (last two within the past 2 months).

The back passenger window on my truck will not roll up or down. It slides down little by little while i drive and i have to manually push it back up. I am afraid it is going to fall into the door and shatter. And it is a security concern since anyone can slide the window down from the outside and unlock the door. I have read online that this is a common problem with the truck and an expensive fix as well. It sounds…

I had 3 window regulators just quit causing the glass to just drop in my 2004 ford 150 lariat. My warranty was 23 days over and the ford call center as well as corporate offices, [redacted],[redacted], [redacted]) flat out told me it was my problem there were no more warranties. I paid to repair 2 of the window regulators and ford did assist with the second on 80% of repair. But i have owned 5 ford trucks and the…

I was driving with my driver side window down and as i went to roll it up due to rain, i heard a loud pow inside my door and the window fell all the way back down. As it turns out, my window regulator broke. After researching this, i found this to be a very common problem with the ford 2004 f150. This is very inconvenient do to weather conditions, theft, children safety, pet safety, and cost of replacement (possibly…

My complaint is for my 2004 ford f150 window regulator. I now have 2 windows that are broke and ford wants approx. $500 each to fix. The first situation was with the whole family in the truck, we heard a loud pop and thought we hit something, then the window just slid down inside the door. We were out of town and had to find tape or something to hold the window up because it was cold outside. The 2nd situation i was…

I had both passenger front and rear windows fall within a day apart from each other. It's the part that holds the window in place i believe they are calling it the actuators. The cable is breaking lose from this assembly and causing the cable to crinkle in the motor, so every part of that window gets destroyed. No incidents thank god, but this could have been a bad situation in other circumstances. I have seen so…

Over the past year of owning my 2004 ford f-150 supercrew 5.4 ltr. Triton, i have replaced 3 out of the 4 power window regulators on the vehicle. I do not consider these normal repairs however as they have all occurred within such a short period of time and were all exactly the same in nature. The first occurred on a trip from colorado to salina ks. Over the thanksgiving holiday, i thought the failure was due to the…

2 different power window regulators have gone out on my 2004 ford f-150 pickup truck in less than 30 days. I have been advised you have requested ford to recall f-150's for this problem and they have refused to do anything about it.... Tisk tisk, can't anything be done about this as it is a known problem? *tr

Three of the four windows in our ford f150 extended cab have gone down never to come up again. No one was injured, but the open window with no way to close it certainly provided for possible injury especially today as the third one broke just before a heavy thunderstorm with strong winds. We were able to get the truck into the garage before the bottom fell out. *tr

Within a one year span of time i have had two window regulators/motors break on my 2004 f-150 extended cab. The truck only has 59,000 miles on it and i have heard of many others having this same problem with this model and year. There are no outside factors affecting this problem, it is a manufacturing issue. Both times i just simply went to roll down my window, heard a pop and then my window began to slide down. I…

No crashes just incidents of window failure on f-150. All window regulators have had to be replaced due to poor workmanship. It is an obvious ford defect that needs to be addressed. The actual part in question is a small plastic piece, but the repair runs on average $400.00 per window for replacement of entire system even though regulator works fine. *tr

In my super-cab - without warning the driver's side window fell completely down to the bottom of the door and would not raise back up while in route on the interstate. It was loud and shocking! This occurred out of warranty the first time at 53,354 miles. Yesterday (3/4/12), the passenger window did exactly the same thing and startled myself and my wife. This presents an extremely unsafe and unsecured situation,…
