Body · Visibility/Wiper
When accelerating slowly from a stop light, the drivers side window fell down into the door. Apparently the window regulator broke, an issue which is documented on numerous internet sites. The window dropping into the door created a very distracting driving situation, not to mention visual safety hazards as in today during rainy, foggy, humid conditions affecting the visibility through the remaining glass in the…

Driving to church on may 6th, 2012 @ 0900 a.m. On the interstate traveling @ 70 mph. I lowered the window about an inch. When i pressed the button to raise the window a loud pop occurred and the window dropped into the door-well. It scared everyone in the truck. It was a sunny day. Potential for loss of life is present with this issue. Inclement weather or blinding debris within the cab could raise the potential for…

Passenger side window regulator failure - fell inside door. According to dealer is a very common complaint caused by ford using cheap plastic clips to secure cables. Had to tape up the window with plastic to proceed home. This is very unsafe and i know that ford is aware of the problem but refuses to fix this defect because the vehicle is out of warranty. Glass cracked when it fell inside the door. Ford needs to fix…

I have a 2005 ford f-150 fx4 with 48,000 miles. Towards the middle of winter, i noticed that the paint inside of the gas cap door at the bottom edge was starting to peel away from the body. It has progressively gotten worse over the last couple of months and is now visible with the gas door shut. I find this very disappointing considering the truck only has 48,000 miles on it and has been well taken care of. *tr

2005 ford f-150 with <25k miles has paint spontaneously peeling off of the tailgate, hood and roof. The local dealership (who did not sell this truck) initially stated that there were problems with the paint job, in the metal itself and pretended to file a pictorial claim of the damages. Ford's "customer service" department denied the claim, stating that our request was to repaint areas that had scratches and dents.…

The coil packs and plugs have been changed on different times and the vehicle still has the same problems. Ford has to find a better solution to fix these ongoing issues so the customer does not have to keep paying all this money for the same problems over and over again. Engine lost power on several occasions and shakes when idling. Paint on front of vehicle started peeling off. All service work has been conducted…
