I have had two window regulators fail and the windows come crashing down unexpected while driving at high speed in ford f150 and not touching the window controls. The windows will not go back up and have had to be fixed.

Rear passenger side window regulator broke. I rarely if ever have passengers ride in my truck and even less so in the rear, so the window rarely ever gets used.

The window regulator broke while just sitting in my driveway not being used or tampered with. I also keep a…

My driver's side window on my 2005 ford f-150 won't roll up anymore. While doing research for parts i noticed that this is a very common problem with this particular vehicle. The part that is used is defective and should be recalled. It is unsafe for my babies and myself to have to constantly have the window down. The cost to fix the problem is around $500-$900 dollars. I am afraid that in the event of an accident i…

Passenger window in my 2005 ford f-150 fell inside the door creating a loud bang while driving. Caused me to jump and pull steering wheel to one side nearly causing an accident. Investigation led to a broken plastic clip in the door that released the cable that holds the window in the up (or down position). I have seen numerous complaints about this event. Ford has not recalled the problem as of this date. *tr

Your site shows a high number of complaints on the vehicle i own, a 2005 ford f-150, in which people are startled when a side window on this vehicle "pops" loud enough to be a gunshot, then falls into the doorframe. In reading their complaints you can see how lucky some of them where to avoid an accident. Much less having to pay ~$400. To have it repaired by ford. This clearly is a design flaw that should be…

I have a 2005 ford f150 truck. The end of december 2009 the driver's side window fell down. It started with the electric window button sticking and ended up all of a sudden falling down. The ford mechanics said this is not unusual and could happen to all 4 windows. This is not a covered service for repair.*cw
