    When driving down the road a 35 mph my driver side window made a loud pop sound and the window fell down into the door. I had to buy a whole new window regulator assembly. I have seen this to be a problem on this site and many other online forums. There must be a defect with the regulators. Mine was so bad that the cable actually frayed and snapped. This is a safety hazard that should be addressed. *tr

    We had just left our house and the driver side window fell down into the door and would not come back up. I looked on the internet and youtube to find out this has happened to 100's of the f150's. This is very dangerous because evidently it can happen to any of the windows on the truck. One of my grandchildren could have been riding with us and possible fall out a window. I understand there is no recall for this. I…

    I was leaving an atm (it was raining), i rolled up the drivers window. When the window reached the top the window fell (free fall was more like it) in to the door. Once i removed the door panel and inspected the window parts i found the regulator failed/broke. We are thankful the window did not break and injure us. *tr
