    I heard a loud crack and then my drivers side window fell! I searched the web and found so many people with the same problem, do something! Ford should put out a recall on this problem. I've found there was several f150 owners all have had this problem. Bad design on these regulators bad window regulator on this truck in under 72,000 miles. Ford needs to refund or recall all of these trucks. It is a very common…

    2005 f-150 fx4 5.4l triton 43,000 miles while driving to work one morning, i heard a loud thud!! In shock, thinking something may have crashed through my window, i immediately pulled off to the side of the road during very busy a.m traffic. I could not find any trace of broken glass. I then looked inside the door and saw that the glass had just fallen in????? I could press the button and hear the motor, but…

    Ford f150 pickup. The passenger-side simply window dropped to the bottom of the door as i was driving. The dealer says it is caused by a failed window regulator. This is the second time it happened on this vehicle; also had a single failure on my 2004 ford expedition, the rear window where my (then) 4-year old daughter sat. It dropped clear to the bottom of the door and she could have easily crawled out. Seems like…

After i pulled over and calmed down and realized what had actually happened i continued to drive several miles on the highway to get home. With temps at 25 degrees it was very cold…

    Driving around with windows down in my 2005 ford f-150 supercrew when i tried to roll up the front passenger window i heard an extremely loud bang that made me think that i had been hit by another vehicle. Took the door panel apart and found the power window regulator cable was mangled and it had broken free from one of the window slides. When i tried to find the parts online i came across a forum on complaints.com.…

    My ford f150 window regulator has went out on 3 different windows in 3 months. The window for no cause ie.. Rolling up or down window out of the blue a loud "pop" and the window falls inside the door where it will stay until the regulator is replaced. I've been doing y research and i've discovered i'm not alone. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be taken care. There's clearly a problem. *tr

    Within the last tree months (shortly after the 3 year warranty expiration) three of four power window regulators have failed in my f-150. The dealer indicates that this is one of the most common repair actions for f-150's. This is clearly a well documented and complained about product deficiency that is also a major safety hazard because when the failures occur the window drops into the door panel. My most recent…

    I have a 2005 ford f-150 crew cab. In short, the window regulators are failing at a high rate, and yet the issue is no being addressed at all. How is this a safety issue, you might ask? The windows- without warning- will make a loud pop and simply fall down into the door panels. When you are in a rain storm or if it is snowing, this is an issue (especially with children in the vehicle). The loud thud is enough to…

    The drivers side power window on my 2005 ford f150 xlt 4x4 truck suddenly slipped all of the way to the bottom of the door while i was parked by the side of the road. All attempts to raise it using the power buttons failed and it wasn't until several hours later that i was able to dismantle the door and prop the window closed. I feel this constituted a safety hazard due to the possibility of this occurrence in…

    The cable in the window regulator in my 2005 ford f-150 completely stripped out. The part is impossible to find, unless i want to pay $330 at the ford place. I have been unable to find the part anywhere. Many people with 2004-2005 f-150s seem to be having the same problem. Considering i can't fix my window since i can't find the part; i have plastic taped up over my window and have to open my door every time i need…

    Like many other people driving f150s i closed my door and hear a loud pop sound from my door. I first believed that the door had slammed on something, so i opened the door and looked, there was nothing. About 2 minutes of driving later my driver side window suddenly and quite forcefully fell inside the panel. After i got home i took the door apart and found a tangle of wire and window at the bottom.
