    My 2004 f-150 lariat has had 4 of the 5 electric window regulators fail over the past 14 months. When these regulators fail the window loses all support and drops, unabated, into the door frame of the vehicle with a loud crash. Today it occurred on one of the rear windows where my infant daughter was sitting. It terrified her as we were on the interstate in a south florida thunderstorm. This is a known defect and…

    We have a 2004 ford f-150. We are now having to replace the 3rd out of 4 window regulators because of failure. There is nothing leading up to the failure. Just one day, we roll the window down and it won't roll back up or it will only partially roll up. We have now spent about $600 replacing the parts, approximately $200 a piece. Please consider recalling this part on the 2004 ford f-150 trucks. *tr
