Unknown Or Other problem #1

Driving on the freeway a loud bang and the driver side window falls into the door and will not roll back up. Rear driver side window fell into the door three months ago while parked in front of our house. Apparently the window regulator fails and the windows fall inside the door. Upon searching the internet there are hundreds of people that have experienced this same problem with the Ford f150 window regulators. Ford is charging between $250 - $500 to fix the regulators per window. Some people have had to fix the same window more than once.

Unknown Or Other problem #2

Driving down the road window just falls down. Window motor failure. Already replaced both rear window motors. Have read on line thousands of complaints about this. Ford motor CO. Has no plans to issue recall or address this issue.

Unknown Or Other problem #3

The driver and passanger window regulator failure driverside window came crashing down when I was driving down the highway on 12/01/11 all I heard was a loud pop then no window almost wrecked cause of the sound then a week later the passanger side window did the same thing but after I tried to put the window up after I got back home the dealer states that there still are no recalls on this issue after all the complaints I read online that goes back 5yrs why isnt no one doing anything about this problem.

Unknown Or Other problem #4

There was a "pop" sound, followed by the window crashing down into the door. Upon inspection the point of failure is a small pulley attached to the window lift motor. It is weakly designed with high tension focused at 3 stress points instead of distributed about the whole pulley. I believe this is a common problem, and can startle a driver causing an accident, furthermore, at highway speeds the window could have fallen into or out of the truck causing injury.

Unknown Or Other problem #5

This is the second report I have filed with NHTSA for the same complaint but additional occurrence. While driving on the highway at 1000 at night and traveling 55 mph, there was a loud bang that sounded like the truck had been shot, followed immediately by the passenger front window dropping into the door. The sound was so startling that it almost caused a loss of control of the vehicle. Ford knows that they have a defect with their window regulators; however, they refuse to recall even though it is a definite safety concern. This is the third window I have had fail in the exact manner on my 2004 F-150. A casual search on the internet confirms that Ford has had thousands of complaints for this exact default and is refusing to make a repair or recall to address a known safety issue. Nhtsa needs to take action on this and force Ford to do what a responsible automaker should undertake on their own in order to protect the motoring public.

Unknown Or Other problem #6

On the highway, as I hit 40 mph, the engine didn't upshift and disengaged with the drivetrain. When I pressed the accelerator, the engine revved, but there was no power to the wheels. After a couple of failed attempts of shifting to neutral and back into drive (while on the highway), I turned the overdrive function off and the engine engaged with the drivetrain again. I was able to drive home safely. Today, the same problem is happening. I called the local Ford dealer and they can't get me into the shop for a week due to a high volume (their words to me) of transmission problems. I have found numerous complaints on the web indicating the same problem by other owners. I'm not sure if they are filing a complaint, but it appears that this is a larger issue potentially due to poor quality parts in the transmission.

Unknown Or Other problem #7

While driving in traffic my rear passenger side window, for no apparent reason, fell violently into the door. This was a very distracting incident that nearly resulted in an accident.

Unknown Or Other problem #8

Passinger window fell into the door while driving on the freeway.

Unknown Or Other problem #9

I was traveling on a main boulevard when all of a sudden the drivers side window slid down with a loud sounding bang. The window did not break. However, what seems to be a spring loaded mechanism, must have broken causing the window to collapse down inside the door. The sound was so loud, it caused a nervous reaction in me which resulted in pulling on the steering wheel to one side. Thankfully, there were no vehicles to that side and I was able to correct my steering to get back into my lane. As if one experience was not sufficient, it happened again 9/1/11. This time on the passenger side door. The same exact experience repeated except that this time I was driving at 75mph on I-25. I expected to find a recall to this dis-functional mechanism. What are the chances of this happening almost back to back within a 6 week period?.

Unknown Or Other problem #10

Window regulator on 2004 f 150 lariat drivers door broke allowing the window to drop scaring me so bad that I went off the road just missing crashing into several trees. It sounded like someone had shot out my window, while I was driving in a thunder shorm. The roads were wet, but there was know warning when the windowbroke, then I was getting hit in the face with rain it felt like glass hitting me in the face. This should be a recall by Ford, I have reseach this problem and have found it to be massive in numbers with a big expense to Ford customers. This many cases seems more than just a fluke incident. This should be looked into, I'm so lucky to be here now I just missed those trees and my wife is now scared that it may happen to one of my other remaining windows and does not want to ride with me anymore. .

Unknown Or Other problem #11

Two of the four window regulators have broke causing safety and security issues. The parts are expensive and defective. The last malfunction occued when I was driving down the road and the passenger window fell when the vehicle was parked. I heard a popping noise like somebody threw something at the truck and then the window fell into the door. My wife and I have two young children and this poses a large safety risk to them. These parts are obviously defective and should be replaced by Ford motor company.

Unknown Or Other problem #12

The window started making noise while rolling up and down and seemind like it was coming off the track. . While driving down the road the window fell completely in the door. We repleaced the window regulator and seems to work fine, until 3 months later another window did the same thing. I cannot afford to keep replacing the same part on my truck when there are obviously defects in the parts. I see many other Ford owners with the same problem and think that something needs to be done! god forbid the window shatter while my children are in the truck.

Unknown Or Other problem #13

After a professional baseball game. . I walked back to my truck in a huge parking lot to findi find my right rear window down. My first thought was my truck was broken in to. . But after looking around, I find that my window regulator broke "again"!! this is the third window that has done this!! I never even roll the back window down so it cant be from abusing the hardware. . Ford needs to do something about this soo!! my brother has the same year truck and he had two window regulators go out!!.

Unknown Or Other problem #14

The left rear window, right rear window, right front window abruptly dropped into the door cavity. The service center at the Ford dealer informed me that the cause of the malfunction is failure of the window regulators on all three doors. According to the Ford dealership service center and my own investigation it appears that the window regulators on the 2004 Ford f1 50 pickup trucks are defective. Ford motor company acknowledges that the window regulators on the 2004 f150 pickup truck are indeed defective but they are unwilling to recall and replace the defective part unless your organization orders the recall. Searching the internet I have come across scores of other Ford owners with the same problem. There have been numerous requests for Ford motor company to recall these vehicles and replace the defective window regulators. Although Ford motor company does not feel that this is a safety issue we Ford owners do feel that it is. Driving at 65 to 70 miles an hour and three windows abruptly drop into the cavity of the door it could and probably as been the cause of accidents. We urge you to petition Ford motor company to recall the 2004 through 2006 Ford f1 50 pickup truck and replace the manufacturers defective window regulators.

Unknown Or Other problem #15

Window regulator problem. Windows falls while driving. Replace it once at dealership under warranty. . . . It failed again while driving.

Unknown Or Other problem #16

2004 Ford f150 supercrew starts shaking horribly at highway speeds when pulling a travel trailer. It doesn't matter if you slow down, speed up, or take out of gear the only way to make it quit is to come to a complete stop. This has happened 3 times to me so far and it feels as if all the wheels are about to fall off. I called my dealer and they said that they haven't heard of this problem, but if you do a search on it there is a lot of people concerned of this dangerous issue. Luckily I haven't been on an interstate with my travel trailer because I would believe that this could cause me to possibly lose control at those kind of speeds.

Unknown Or Other problem #17

My truck has been vibrating horribly when around 30 - 60 mph like I was on a washboard road. It is intermittent. I have not repaired my truck yet, but found out it is my rear differential clutch and possibly my e-brake.

Unknown Or Other problem #18

I'm a 16 year veteran in law enforcement. Sometime in April 2011, I was driving down the road and my rear driver side window fell down inside the door. The window falling made a loud noise. I could hear the wind and I looked back and didn't see a window in the door. My first thought was someone shot the glass out. My attention to driving was lost for several seconds. I believe this to be a safety issue. I pulled over at the first parking lot I saw and realized the glass was not broken but had fallen inside the door. Today 9/2/2011, I was repairing the rear window regulator and the front driver side window fell. I thought how ironic is this. I drove to the Ford dealership and purchased the part and returned home. I have fixed both window regulators, but I feel this could cause a traffic crash. I searched the web for this repair and found several forums with people having this same issue. I would like to see Ford address this issue.

Unknown Or Other problem #19

I know have to replace my third window motor/regulator, this is not right. The first time I was driving and the window just dropped down. The second time same thing only it was raining, now this third time my daughter was in the back seat putting the window down and it dropped down causing her to scream (she is only 8) with her doing that I almost wrecked us all. I did not keep the parts from the first two but will keep the third when I get it fixed later this week.

Unknown Or Other problem #20

I have a 2004 4-door f150, and have now had to replace 3 window motors, one in each door. The 3rd one happened yesterday. The first two happened back to back in 2010, so if the pattern follows, I'll be forking out more money to replace the final one. On the first 2 occurances, the car was moving, and the windows just fell down. The 3rd occurence happened when the car was parked. I have 2 small children, and if these windows fall down when they are near, it is a major concern of mine. There is a obvious sign that these window motors are defective. I can understand 1 of them breaking, but I'm going on 3, and just waiting for the final one to break here shortly! then after reading all the 2004/2005 f150 complaints about the same thing happening, there needs to be a recall because this isn't just a coincidence amongst all f150 owners! it's sad that Ford cannot stand by their "so called" #1 selling truck. People spend a great deal on their cars, and this shouldn't be an issue that people need to be spending their hrad earned money on, especially since it seems to be a rather regular issue for so many people!.

Unknown Or Other problem #21

2004 f150 truck. Ii had plugs changed and the mechanic broke three of them, dropping one down on the head. When I complained he said everyone knows that these engines do that. I'm looking at $6000 to pull the motor and get the rest of the plugs in. Evidentally everyone in the world knew about the plug problem but me. No more Ford products for this old boy. 3/16/2011 campbellsville,ky.

Unknown Or Other problem #22

The drivers window fell down into the door while truck was moving. I was unable to get the window back up. I was in a remote location, driving over a snowy mountain pass. When the window regulator failed, and I understand this is a common occurance, and I can expect more of the same in the future. This is a potential for a crash as it is a startling event, and a serious immediate distraction.

Unknown Or Other problem #24

2004 Ford f150 power window regulator failure. I live in a hot and humid part of texas so windows are seldom rolled up and down. However this is the third window regulator to fail on this vehicle. Each time there is a low pop and the window suddenly drops and you cannot roll it down. The 2nd time this happened it was the driver side window while I was driving on I-30, in downtown dallas in the pouring rain. Try telling me that wasn't a safety issue!.

Unknown Or Other problem #25

The third window regulator in my 2004 Ford F-150 lariat just failed causing the window to fall. The dealership claims that this is not a defect but thousands of other F-150 owners have had the same problem. The first two fixes cost $450 each.

Unknown Or Other problem #26

Just replaced my back passenger window motor/harness and now my front passenger window has done the same thing a month later. I have twin boys that I take with me on a regular base just a saftey hazard I thought that would have or should have a recall. Happened in my Ford 2004 f150 fx4. The thing is I barely use the windows and I was on the highway my window just falls down thank god. My kids weren't with me. Not safe and sounds like a lot of people have complained about the same thing on blogs and forms that I have read. Also it cost almost 400 bucks to have it fixed ever time it happens not a cheap fix for a father of two. So im at 800.

Unknown Or Other problem #27

I have a 2004 Ford f150 with a defective window regulator. I already know Ford has put in a defective part causing the windows to collapse and have seen many cases where this happens to people with Fords. There are thousands of complaints that I read for the same problem. I do not understand why you don't push Ford for a recall? its not right for customers to pay for repairs due to a manufacturer defect.

Unknown Or Other problem #28

Just driving down the road and the window came down by itself. This is the second power window to go out on our truck. Had Ford replace it once and need it done on the other door now.

Unknown Or Other problem #29

Date of incident: 1/20/2011 vehicle: 2004 Ford F-150 complaint: passenger window suddenly descended into door and shattered. Driver side window had this issue in August of 2010. Replaced by dealer at my cost (approx $400). Internet search showed over 1000 complaints on this issue and no recall from Ford. This is a potential safety issue and needs to be addressed by Ford!!.

Unknown Or Other problem #30

2 window regulators in my 2004 Ford f150 crew cab were defective.

Unknown Or Other problem #31

In approximately November 2009, as we were driving our 2004 Ford f150 super crew pickup truck down the highway the window in the passenger door fell into the door with a significant crash. When we attempted to roll the power window back up it would not roll back up. When we returned home we had to wrap plastic wrap around the door because it was the only vehicle that we had at the time. I work 40 miles away from home and had to drive it with the window down to and from work in winter for several days before Ford could get it into the dealership to be worked on. The Ford dealership charged us over $400 dollars to fix this issue. Later I found that this issue is caused by faulty equipment installed at the factory. Here it is, winter time, and it has happened again. Today as my husband was driving to the grocery store the driver window crashed down into the door. He didn't try to open it or anything, it just came loose on its own. This time he believes that the window has broken inside the door. I could not imagine what kind of harm this may have caused him or other drivers if it had shattered before the window made it completely into the door. This is the 2nd window on this truck. There are 4 doors all together. We are worried about what may happen when the next window assembly fails.

Unknown Or Other problem #32

Window regulators failing repeatedly.

Unknown Or Other problem #33

Three of the four window regulators have broken in my truck, and let the window come down byself. This is on a 2004 Ford F-150.

Unknown Or Other problem #34

I have had 3 window regulator failures in less than a year. My local Ford dealer claims that it seems like bad luck. In one case, I was driving down a highway and the window just dropped into the door. In a 4 door truck, both front windows have dropped and the regulators needed to be replaced and the passenger rear window also fell.

Unknown Or Other problem #35

I have a 2004 Ford f150-lariat purchased in sept 2004. Since purchase I am now at my third window regulator replacement. The front window regulators were replaced 3/2007 and 5/2008. Now I am required to replace the right rear regulator at $400 a pop.

Unknown Or Other problem #36

While driving, my son sitting in the back passenger seat pressed the window switch to lower the window. When he did, there was a loud sound and the window dropped down. I found out from our mechanic that the window regulator broke. Later in the year, I went to lower the drivers side window while stationary, and I heard the motor moving but the window did not lower. It finally slowly fell as I started driving and it would not go back up. Again, it was the window regulator that had failed. Yesterday, while driving from my place of work and moving about 25 mph, I accidently hit the back drivers side window switch, and I heard a loud noise and saw that the window held fell part way down. Again, the regulator had failed. So, within the past year, three of the four window regulators have failed and I have had to replace them.

Unknown Or Other problem #37

Had just rolled up front pasenger side window when I heard a loud thump. I was in heavy traffic and nearly @&*^ my pants. I realized the window had fell from it's track and won't go back up. Dealership is closed, will be driving with plastic on the window. Not good. Researching this problem I see it is a major issue, and likely a safety hazzard.

Unknown Or Other problem #38

I month ago, I had the driverside window regulator replace on my 2004 Ford 150, today my daughter and I are on our way to the store and the window on the rear passengers side comes crashing down. If this is sa know defect why is frod not replacing them. Someone is going to get hurt soon or later by this.

Unknown Or Other problem #39

The window to the Ford F-150 was down about half way. I pressed the button to pull it back up but instead there was a clicking noise and it fell down completely. I pressed to bring it back up but it was useless because it didn't function correctly anymore. This problem has occured 3 times: the two back seat windows and the driver's window. The first time it happend I took it to the Ford dealership to get it fixed and was charged 400 dollars. This malfunction could cause saftey hazards.

Unknown Or Other problem #40

2004 Ford F-150 slt supercrew 4-door. . . Power window fails, window falls down into door. . . This is my fourth incident, once for each window. . . The fix is to replace the "power window regulator assembly" which costs over $450.

Unknown Or Other problem #41

Third time in 5 years power window regulator on my 2004 Ford F-150 has failed. Failure usually occurs while driving. Window simply falls into the door and there is nothing you can do to pull it back up. Were this type of incident occur during adverse weather, on the driver's side, serious consequences are highly likely.

Unknown Or Other problem #42

2004 f150 super-crew Ford window regulator/motors and cable/pulley assemblies. I've had three windows fall into the door after making a very loud noise while driving. This has cost me over $1,275. 00.

Unknown Or Other problem #43

Window regulators failed.

Unknown Or Other problem #44

My third power window regulator broke. Each time it was a different window. I had them replaced at the Ford garage.

Unknown Or Other problem #45

Windows would roll up and down normally with no problem. One day in Feb. Of 2010 my pasenger backseat window fell down halfway into the door. I could not use my power switch at all. In fact when I tried it gave off a burnt smell. I was told to replace the window regulator. I couldn't find one locally so I temporaraly fixed it by putting a heavy duty piece of cardboard in the door to hold the window up. No more than about 2 weeks later, my driverside backseat window did the exact same thing. So I searched online and found a new pair to replace the broken ones. Then on 3/22/2010 while driving, my driverside front window began to creep down. I tried the switch and slam! the window fell all the way into the door. I can't even pull it out enough to tape it shut. I am truely upset because not only is this a huge inconvienience, but a safety hazzard. Each window regulator is roughly $130-$145 depending on which side is needed. This price is picked up, not an installed quote. My parts are ordered and on thier way.

Unknown Or Other problem #46

During winter storm 2010 (January 30-31, 2010) the passager window on my 2004 F-150 suddenly fell down and would not go back up. Took this vehicle to cavilier Ford in chesapeake, va and was told that the window regulator/pulley assembly was broken and that the cost of repair would cost $535; reseached this on the web (carcomplaints. Com) and this seems to be a big, big, costly and dangerous problem. This should be a recall fix. This could happen to the other 3 windows and could happen repeatly.

Unknown Or Other problem #47

I bought a 2004 Ford F-150 supercrew truck last October. When I took it home from the dealer, I rolled down the passenger-side rear window and it just dropped inside the door. I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it. I thought it was just a random incident or that it just came off the track and no big deal. Well, a couple days ago (now that I've had it for 1 year and no warranty) I picked up my kids from school and as we were driving home the driver-side rear window (the other one this time) fell down inside the door. I had no warning, didn't hit any button, and suddenly wondered where the wind was coming from. At first I thought my kids rolled it down but hey didn't. I tried to roll it up with the power control button on my arm-rest and nothing happened. All I heard was a grinding sound and remembered what happened the first time around and went "awww great!" this is the second window in a year and after researching heavily online I discovered I'm not alone. I am dumbfounded as to how this issue with Ford window regulator/motors and cable/pulley assemblies has not forced a recall!!! how is this possible with all of the complaints posted with NHTSA and online forums? I have been told this isn't a recall issue because it doesn't affect emissions or safety, but if that's the case, how is this not a safety/security issue??? I'm lucky that my window didn't shatter and hit me or, more importantly, my children! not only that, but what if this had caused an accident? nobody should be driving down the road, hear a loud clunk, freak out, and swerve off the road! not a safety issue? seriously? and what about this being a security issue? how in the hell do I keep my window up and lock my truck while I'm shopping for groceries or something? not only could someone steal something inside but they could steal my truck! if this isn't a security issue then why do I have remote locks/alarm? something has to be done about this! I don't have $400 to throw away in this economy!.

Unknown Or Other problem #48

Window regulator failure: I have now replaced 3 out of 4 window regulators. My out of pocket cost is slightly over $900. 00. The failures have been sudden with no warning. One occurred in traffic at 55mph. I live in colorado and weather could pose a health and saftey issue. More important is consumer protection. Three failures in just a couple of years is indicative of manufacturer using substandard parts or components. Ford should correct this potentially dangerous situation and compensate those who have had to bear the cost of repair for substandard workmanship and materials. The date of the first and second incidents were close to the listed date the most recent was September 1 of this year. Repair work was done by a local shop records are available to refine the dates and exact mileage.

Unknown Or Other problem #49

Ford 2004 f150 crewcab driver side window will not roll up. This is a safety hazard.

Unknown Or Other problem #50

First incident: August, 2009 I was driving down the highway going approximately 65 miles an hour when the back passenger side window started decending without anyone pushing the button. I was then unable to use the window again. My infant son was in the back seat next to the window and it was raining. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealership and had the window regulator replaced. Second incident: January, 2010 once again I was driving and the front passenger side window went down without prompting and never worked again. I am an attorney and was on my way to the courthouse and was forced to leave my car unattended for a short amount of time and obtain continuances on all of my cases that day in order to have my window repaired. I was informed that it was the window regulator and the part needed replaced. Third incident: August, 2011 same scenerio, my husband was driving the vehicle on the highway at approx. 55 mph when his window decended without prompting and we were unable to make the window work again. I had to have the window regulator replaced. Besides the cost of repairs ($350. 00 each window), I believe that this is a safety hazard. I had an infant by the window in the first incident and driving at speed the window could have shattered. Also, all incidents occured while I was driving and proved quite distracting. It could have caused an accident. Last, because I was unable to make the window(s) go back up I had to leave my vehicle unsecured.

Unknown Or Other problem #51

The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-150. The contact noticed that the paint on the hood and the front end of the vehicle was abnormally chipping. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the failure resulted from when the vehicle was manufactured. The coating of the paint was 10-12 mm. As a result, the thick coating inevitably led to the paint chipping. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure and current mileages were 86,000.

Unknown Or Other problem #52

I own a 2004 f150 supercrew. I purchased the vehicle with 24000 on it, and I also purchased an extended warranty that was suppose to cover the vehicle bumper to bumper. Or, so I was told when I purchased the coverage. In addition to having the rear window repaired twice the side windows also seem to be defective. My first window fell when I only had 37000 on the vehicle. So much for an extended warranty. I still had to pay $100. 00 to cover the deductible. I now have 43000 on my truck and window #2 has broken. I was sitting in a parking lot when we heard a loud bang. I pushed the button to roll down the passenger window and that was it. Window number 2 had broken. It's was 115 degrees, and I had a 40 mile trip home. Not only could my tools and the medical equipment I carry be stolen but, its possible the truck could be stolen as well. I am now not comfortable taking my truck any where. Its very disturbing to pay for a new vehicle and have things like this happen. I have built race cars and trucks, and I have never seen door window regulators fail like this. The window has maybe been used 20 times. I rarely have anyone sitting in the passenger seat. This indicates to me that Ford installed defective window regulators in the newer style f150 trucks. After looking on the internet, I see I am not alone. This problem has happened to many others. It seems to me that this qualifies as a recall or bulletin at the least. You can imagine my anger when I found out that I had to pay for the repair. Not only should this not happen in a new vehicle, now I am not sure I should even take the chance to drive it anywhere for fear it could be stolen. Please know that if anything is stolen out of my truck or the vehicle it self is stolen, because the window has broken, I will alert my insurance carrier of the window situation. I would appreciate an explanation why this is not considered a recall.

Unknown Or Other problem #53

I have had all four window regulators go out on my 2004 Ford f150 truck. This is ridiculous that there has not been a recall because they are obviously defective. Tons of people are going through this and I am fed up with driving with two broken back window that fall down when they are not taped up.

Unknown Or Other problem #54

I own a 2004 Ford f150 the windows in my truck have fallen damaging window tint scratching windows the part that holds the window up is made of plastic and the replacements are made of the same materials as oem which causes the same problem to occur again each time the part fails the cost is $160 only from the dealer I have researched this problem on different Ford sites and many Ford f150 owners are having the same problem I don't think this is fair to the consumer to have to keep repairing at their own expense with a replacement part that will fail the same as the original part. I only have 24,000 miles on my truck the lowest of the group of people I have found while researching, of my windows back passenger side* was rarely ever opened so it begs the question why a part would just up and break for no reason. Please help consumers we are not getting any help from Ford. Thank you in advance.

An excruciating high pitch noise is produced from the dashboard area of my 2004 f150 heritage at speeds between 20-40mph. The noise produces an earache equal to a small migraine after 30 minutes. The dealer has overhauled the transfer case and taken the transmission out to replace bearings but the problem still exists. Dealer has stated that they hear the noise but doesn't know how to fix the problem. My truck has less than 1000 miles on it currently.

Unknown Or Other problem #60

Was driving my 2004 Ford F-150 supercab pickup truck (4. 6l v8 2wd) at highway speed when I heard a loud bang and scared me enough to nearly lose control of my vehicle. The sound I heard I thought was someone shooting out my drivers side power window when it turns out it just fell into the door because of a faulty power window regulator. Now it will cost me nearly $400 to replace when it is just a plastic clip. Turns out that this is a very common problem with Ford trucks and am shocked that this has not been recalled by the NHTSA since this is a serious safety issue as the doors and windows, as well as the seatbelts, are what keeps the driver and or passengers in the vehicle. . . I am extremely upset not at the repair cost but that my safety is being compromised at Ford motor company's expense with nothing being done about it. Just how many people need to complain about this before it is recalled or are we just waiting for a serious injury or a death for something to happen.

Unknown Or Other problem #61

On the below date my passenger door window fell down in to the door. This is the 3rd window to do this. It happened while driving and scared me so bad I almost drove off the road. There was a loud pop and the window was gone.
