    My window fell down while i was driving. The replacement part is over 350 dollars and is the same unit not a redesigned/improved unit. It's been that way for almost a year now; i cannot afford to replace, so it's rigged to stay shut, but if i need anything i have to open my door: i hope i never get pulled over, the cop will probably shoot me if i don't roll down my window and i open the door instead. *tr

The next night my driver side window fell into my door while out driving and scared me so bad it made me swerve off the road. A police officer saw this and accused me of being intoxicated so i therefore had to go through a field sobriety and…

    While driving, i heard a loud bang and then the drivers' side window fell down into the door with a loud crash. It scared the heck out of me, as i thought someone had hit me or been hit by debris on the highway. This caused me to hit my brakes because i was very confused for a moment looking around for what happened. This made several drivers behind me slam on their brakes and of course honk at me because they could…

    I drive a 2004 ford f150 and i am now on my 3rd window regulator replacement. I have talked to many people who have had the same exact problem and we are sick of paying good money for a horribly made vehicle. It is a risk to carry anything in my truck because it could be stolen due to my windows falling down sporadically. I think a recall is definately in order. *tr

    The windows on my ford f-150 truck have a faulty part. I've had to replace 3 window regulators within 6 months. The last two being less than a month apart. The only answer i get from the dealer is that when one goes the rest go. That's unacceptable! This has cost me over $400 each time. There's a noise like a pop and then the window rolls down by itself. I can't secure my car. I have to take all of my personal…

    I was sitting in my 2004 f150 on my lunch break when i pushed the button to roll my driver's side window down then it fell. Luckily i wasn't driving down the highway. I refuse to pay $400+ out of my pocket to fix this since it is ford's responsibility for producing poor quality parts. I fixed it by disassembling the door panel, manually pushing the window up, and now a pair of vise grips hold the window up. The old…
