    The window regulators failed on 3 of the 4 windows on our 2004 ford f150 truck causing the windows to fall abruptly and drop down into the door panels. The windows no longer stay up at all and there is no way to prop them up internally. The windows now leak when it rains. You cannot go over a pothole, bump or even go the speed limit on the highway without the windows falling down again. *tr

    Riding down the road and heard a loud pop. Afterwards, my passenger window began to slide down. My son drives the same model 2004 f-150 ford triton xlt truck and it was the window regulator. Approx. Cost to repair was $350.00. The noise was so loud it caused me to jump and jerk the steering wheel. *tr

    I was driving down the road, heard a huge "pop" like a gun and both my rear windows started to creep down slowly. I took my door panels off and to my amazement my window cables are off the pulley system on both sides. I have secured my windows in the up position using tape and have been advised that both window regulators need to be replaced costing approx. 800 dollars. *tr

    3 months ago my rear passenger window on my 2004 f-150 failed and came crashing down, ford refuses to replace it, now my driver door window has done the same thing and almost caused me to wreck due to startling me, ford refuses to address the issue due to a faulty regulator in the door or defective.

    We were riding down the local interstate with trailer in tow when the drivers side window fell down. This is the 2nd time this has occurred on this vehicle. First incident occurred with the back passengers window. Thanks to good effort and driving experience no accident occurred in either incident. Ford dealer will acknowledge there is an issue with the window regulator but will not replace them. *tr

    This is the third time one of my 2004 f150 window regulator failed and my window fell open. This is a safety issue that exposes the vehicle occupants to weather conditions and potential theft. Drivers with children or animals pose additional risk with an open window. *tr

    1. The door window quits working and gets stuck in the down position. The first time it happened was while i was driving. It just went down and stayed there. It happened again today while in my driveway. I went to roll up the window because it was about to start raining and it wouldn't roll up. The problem is the power window regulator. 2. The failure occurred twice. Once about a year ago on the drivers side, and…

    I own a 2004 ford f150 triton xlt. In less than a year, both the front driver and front passenger windows have become inoperable. The window regulator has to be replaced. I have researched this and found it to be a very common problem and feel ford should be doing a recall on this. The first window has been fixed, we are in the process of getting the part for a second one now. Each repair at a ford dealer costs more…
