I own a 2004 f-150 crew cab ford truck. I have had to replace 3 of the 4 window regulators in this vehicle. Each one has broken at different times. The ford dealerships replaced them at a cost of almost a thousand dollars for all three. The driver side window regulator is the only one so far not to break. Currently it is making a grinding sound. All three have broken within the past twelve months. This is a great…

Door power window regulator fails (broken plastic piece) and door window glass falls into the door. This usually occurs while driving - see thousands of internet reports. This is a dangerous defect in the regulator that ford knows about and refuses to recall. Repair part and labor cost approx $400 per window. I have had 2 window regulators fail so far! Ford should be responsible for this. *tr

I was driving my 2004 ford f150 lariat on us 50 going west bound in heavy traffic around 5:30 in the evening driving 70 mph. I heard a loud pop (as if a gun was being fired), which startled me to where i swerved into the lane beside me. Luckily there was not another car right beside me or else this would have definitely lead to an accident. I turned out to be something within in the electrical system of my…

All 4 windows regulators broke within a span of 4 months. Window regulators have a steel cable which adheres to a plastic pulley--who designed this poor compatibility? Common sense will tell you that this is not conducive to wear and tear for electric windows. Vehicle is in excellent shape accept for this problem which as a consumer is unacceptable due to inferior products used. Aluminum or another type of metal…

I'm a 16 year veteran in law enforcement. Sometime in april 2011, i was driving down the road and my rear driver side window fell down inside the door. The window falling made a loud noise. I could hear the wind and i looked back and didn't see a window in the door. My first thought was someone shot the glass out. My attention to driving was lost for several seconds. I believe this to be a safety issue. I pulled…

I have a 2004 4-door f150, and have now had to replace 3 window motors, one in each door. The 3rd one happened yesterday. The first two happened back to back in 2010, so if the pattern follows, i'll be forking out more money to replace the final one. On the first 2 occurances, the car was moving, and the windows just fell down. The 3rd occurence happened when the car was parked. I have 2 small children, and if these…

The drivers window fell down into the door while truck was moving. I was unable to get the window back up. I was in a remote location, driving over a snowy mountain pass. When the window regulator failed, and i understand this is a common occurrence, and i can expect more of the same in the future. This is a potential for a crash as it is a startling event, and a serious immediate distraction. *tr

2004 ford f150 supercrew. For the 5th time one of the windows has dropped into the door due to the regulator malfunctioning. The first 3 times were covered by the extended warranty i purchased. However, this will be the second one i will have to pay for. Each time, all ford does is replace the regulator and tell me i must have gotten a bad one. This is 5 windows in 5 years. *tr

The 2nd time this happened it was the driver side window while i was driving on i-30, in downtown dallas in the pouring rain. Try…

In less than one year i have had to replace three windows in my 2004 f-150. The windows would just fall inside the door and the mechanism no longer worked. As i researched online, i noticed there were numerous complaints for this make, model and year. I feel this should have been a recall. I hope ford motor company looks into this and we will all be reimbursed for our expenses. Thank you. *tr
