    Window on the ford f150 2004 model. Window fell down and will not roll up, grinding noise. Needs a new regulator but you must buy the motor also. Cannot find a used one because it has happened to numerous trucks and you have to buy brand new. Cost $400 to have fixed! *tr

    I bought a 2004 ford f-150 last year with 36k miles on it. I have had to replace all three windows because i keep coming out to my truck and the windows are down. I checked no recall this morning driving to work another window fell down and i only have 46k miles on this truck. I do believe this should be a recall on these and ford motor company should be responsible for fixing this. From sometime last year will…

I took the truck to my local ford dealer who told me it was the window regulator and he was happy to replace it for $388.32 + tax. I had no choice but to replace it. After i got home and did some research on the internet i learned that this…

    I was driving down the road in my 2004 f-150 and the rear drivers side window fell down in to the door. I had a friend with the same year f-150 that had this happen so i call him. He said it would cost me $450 to repair at the ford place and that is was a faulty window regulator. In addition, he said the mechanic at the ford dealership told him this was a very common occurrence and he did not know why there had not…

    I have a 2004 ford f-150. Just yesterday i got into my truck and went to put the window down and heard a pop and the window fell completely down into the door. I went online to research and found out that this is an extremely common problem with the f-150. I would hope that a recall should take place given the amount of claims from f-150 owners. *tr

Second regulator failure was last week on passenger window. Repair cost is approx. $450 per failure. I have a crew cab with four window.

    My husband has a 2004 f150 and in september of 2008 he heard a popping sound in the passenger window - shortly after that... The window fell abruptly down into the door. This was a costly repair and i felt it was a safety concern at that time, but took it to just be a fluke of some sort. Well a few days ago on may 27th, 2009 he heard the same popping sound, this time coming from the drivers side window. To my…

    Three of the four power windows in my 2004 ford f150 have had experienced window regulator failures while driving. All three have occurred in the past year. The vehicle has never had an accident and there is no reason the regulators should have failed from regular use. I checked with ford and there is no recall despite the fact that there is an obvious defect in design to lose 3 out of 4 window regulators. *tr

    Window regulator failure, resulting in the left rear window free falling into door channel. The sound of the window falling and the sudden rush air distracted me and could have resulted in a loss of control. This was the 3rd window regulator failure in 2 years. Cost of the repair was approx. $400. *tr
