My 2005 ford f150 just dropped the driver side window down into the door due to the poorly designed faulty window regulator. From searching the web this is a well known defect that is abundant in f150's. This is a safety hazard as this happened in rush hour traffic and i thought i had been shot at and drove off the road into a ditch and banged my shoulder. This is well known to be an issue and is a major safety…

This has happened two times now. While driving, i hear loud pop or bang and then the window will fall into the door. This has happened on the passenger side and drivers side. This nearly caused an accident because i thought someone was shooting at me. It startled me quite badly. Ford should be required to issue a recall on these window regulators. Parts are available to repair, but the repair does not permanently…

Another window drops down inside my door. This is definitely due to faulty equipment. Ford used cheap plastic on their window regulators that is not suitable for the purpose. *tr

My wife went out this morning to take the kids to school and the drivers side window has fallen down in the door. We are still trying to get a hold of the nearest ford dealership to get this fixed. I have read several forums that say this is a common occurrence. Why is this not a recall? *tr

Normal driving with windows up, heard loud bang and we thought someone had hit or thrown something at our pickup. Then i noticed driver side front window slowly sliding down and finally falling into door. Pickup is for all intents unsafe. Can not put up window. I see on other websites and this one that this is a very common problem, and ford should be made to fix this with a safety recall. This happened 2 months…

Window regulator-early failure-ford would do nothing. After reading many blogs-it's a real big problem. Ford is charging 350-or so to repair over and over again,many people have had 4-6 repairs on the same vehicle with 40,00 miles on them, ford refuses to stand behind. *tr

Leaving work i went to put down my drivers side window. I heard a loud "pop" and the window glass fell to the bottom of the door. Immediately took it to the local ford dealer and he knew what it was from my description and advised of a $90 diagnosis charge. Two days later and 400 dollars less in my pocket, they had to replace the window regulator assembly. Apparently from all of the complaints, it is a known problem…
