    04 ford f150 failed window regulator. Window went down and won't go back up. This problem is common according to the ford dealership and costs 400.00 to fix. If this is a common problem due some design flaw it should be a recall by ford. Http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2005/windows_windshield/power_window_regulator_failure.shtml. *tr

    I opened the driver's side front door of my 2004 ford f-150 with only 27,000 miles on the odometer and i heard a clunk sound in the door. The window was no longer in place and had fallen into the door. Took the door panel off and confirmed that the window regulator had failed prematurely. It should last a whole lot longer than it did. I read online that this is a widespread problem, latent defect in the design, and…

    Sitting at a stoplight, hear a loud pop in drivers side door, drivers side window falls down into the door. Took truck to the dealership and regulator assembly has failed - $450 for parts/labor. This has happened to numerous ford f150 owners and i'm afraid it will happen to my remaining windows. Dangerous to have windows fail and collapse into your door at any moment - poorly engineered by ford - needs to be…

    Power window mechanism fails causing the window to fall into the door. I have seen many posts on it on complaints.com. The clip holding the cables are faulty causing the cable to pull through. Then you are stuck with the window in the down position. Looks to be a common issue tons of complaints about it. *tr

I was required to purchase the entire window regulator assembly because the part was not available by itself. This is at a cost of $220.00 plus tax. The old part is available. *tr
