Power Window problems of the 2004 Ford F-150 - part 2

I was driving my Ford F-150 pickup into my garage. I pushed the window button to roll down my window and my window dropped to the bottom of my door in a split second. I heard the window glass break. I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow to get the window replaced along with the defective window regulator. I will likely have to have all 4 regulators replaced so this doesn't happen while I am driving or while my vehicle is sitting unattended in a parking lot.

2004 Ford f150 window regulator failure. I had two window failures in the same day, and had one fixed this past July 2010. This is three window regulator failures in a matter of 3 months. According to the web this has happened alot to Ford trucks and should have a recall due to the regulator failures!.

The VIN was unavailable.

I have a 2004 Ford F-150 truck, and while my wife was driving to work one morning wham the drivers side window came crashing down and she nearly wrecked due to the scare. My complaint is the regulator has gone out. I looked into having this repaired and was shocked as to how many complaints their were on this exact same issue. I have had to replace the regulator and am wondering what it will take before Ford or NHTSA does something "recall" . I pray that it does not take the loss of life to have this piece of plastic replaced.

I came outside to find that my passenger sine window was down. I went to try to roll it up and all I heard was the window motor. After further inspection, it was discovered that a plastic piece that hold the window regulator cable had broke. I am lucky that nobody had stolen my belongings. And what if it had happened when driving down the road and the window were to fall into the door and caused an accident? after researching this problem there have been thousands of complaints.

2004 Ford F-150 crew cab windows failed. The first happened while driving on an interstate at 70mph; there was a loud noise like a rock hit the passenger door, and the window fell into the door frame. Cost to repair: $385. Today the driver side window failed in the same manner. I understand from the internet, that this is a failure of the electric window regulator. Apparently, Ford refuses to acknowledge this as a defect.

I was driving my 2004 f150 on the highway. At speed there was a very loud pop and the window fell into the door (I found out later). I had thought it shattered. Startled, I swerved. It could have been bad. Later I found out it was the window regulator, come to find out this is one of the biggest failure items on the 2004. F150. This is a hazard and Ford knows about it. They should own up and fix it.

Power window regulator failure on both driver and passenger side windows of 2004 Ford 150 super cab. A total of 3 failures have occurred in the past 2 years (2 driver side and 1 passenger side). The two most recent failures occurred this month within 3 days of each other. The window fails without warning and falls down inside of the door. This can be a problem if the failure occurs during inclement weather. In order to make the window stay up, the door has to be disassembled and something placed in the door to hold the window up until parts can be ordered and installed. I have used a 2 x 4 and zip ties as a temporary fix to hold the window up inside the door until parts are obtained and the repairs made. My temporary fix keeps the window up, but there is no way to let the window down in the event of an emergency. But having the window stuck in the up position is much better than leaving the window down and risking damage to the interior from weather or theft.

The window/motor regulator assembly failed in both my drivers door and rear passenger door within months of each other. Both times I was on highways or toll roads when the windows fell in the door and I was unable to pull off to remedy the situation. After searching for remedies online I have found that this a common problem with Ford trucks. Why hasn't Ford offered a recall for this failure. When my drivers door window fell I was doing 50 mph on a toll road in the middle of a heavy rain storm. I consider this a safety hazard.

3 power window regulators replaced on my F-150 super cab Ford lariat truck. . . Driving down the road on 3 separate occasions and wham the window drops down in the door. Happened in 2007, 2009, 2010. $350 each time to get fixed. I'm sure a major thorough investigation regarding the window regulator issue with Ford would turn up 1000's upon 1000's of incidents and replacements. This is an obvious problem. While I blame Ford corp, I have a problem with the dealer saying it's not a Ford problem and that Ford has to use the company in mexico they use to replace the windows per the dept of transportation.

Power window regulator failure. Plastic part cracks that is attached to the regulator motor which guides the window cable. Resulting in the window dropping down inside the door panel. Failure occurs approximately every 6-12 months. Failure has occurred in all four doors. New replacement window regulator is required to repair the problem.

The drivers side power window came down on its own and would not go back up, I took off the trim covers and was braided wire all over the place, I ordered a regulator to install but after another 2 days the rear passenger widow did they exact same thing. . . . . . . I am still waiting on part for the first window but seems insane that the same thing would happen on another window just 2 days apart this is definitely a design flaw and should be addressed before someone gets hurt or something gets stolen because of it.

My f150 has had three of the four power window mechanisms fail. The drivers window failed in 9/2008 at 53000 while being used at an atm. The rear passenger window failed in April 2010 at 75,000 miles. This window went down on its own suddenly without pressing the switch. This failure occurred while driving at highway speeds. The front passenger window failed in sept 2010 at 85000 miles. This window went down suddenly on its own without pressing the switch. The failure occurred while driving on an on-ramp and merging into traffic. The sudden and unexpected nature of the last 2 failures are a safety hazard due to the distraction caused while driving. The failures occurred beyond the warranty period, so Ford would not provide any support. I ordered new window regulators and replaced them myself. The parts from the third failure are available.

Faulty window regulator components. I replaced driver side, rear passenger (2004 f150 lariat crew cab) window regulator. Seemed to be an old part that had to be replaced, until a few months, the passenger side, rear passenger window regulator also failed. Now it is a concern. The reason for the complaint now is because my 3rd regulator busted, this time it was the front passenger window regulator that failed. Now this really presents a problem and this needs to be recalled. The only one left to fail is my driver door. The master switch was also replaced at the same time the 1st incident occurred, so that can be ruled out. In all instances, I heard a sound coming from the window regulator motor, following with a sudden drop of the windows. Call me lucky but none of the windows shattered from the fall into the door compartment. Looks like for d beefed up on the pulley assembly of the new, replacement window regulators. Seeking repairs of new incidents and reimbursement for replaced parts.

Window regulator on my 2004 F-150 broke - luckily it occurred when the window was already down (not closed). I have been told this is a defect in the 2004 models, yet no recalls? I have kids and am afraid something bad can happen in the future if this hazard is indeed recurring.

2004 Ford F-150 power window regulator broke on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The driver side broke last year. When the regulator breaks, a loud pop occurs. This is really a safety hazzard.

I have just had my second incidence of a window regulator snapping in my 2004 Ford f150. I was just rolling my electric window up as I was getting my truck washed today, September 4, 2010, and a horrendous pop was heard by me and bystanders outside the vehicle, and the window then slid down into the door panel. I have barely over 70,000 miles on the truck now, and the first incidence occurred at 64,273. The first fix cost me $337. 66 for the rear driver side, and today's failure happened to the passenger rear. That's twice in 6000 miles. I am forced to drive my other vehicle to as I my vehicle is now unsecure since the window cannot be closed. The first failure was due to the cable snapping, and the same scary sound happened today so I can only conclude that the same part failure occurred today. Ford will not fix the vehicle nor the issue which has caused numerous f150 owners to lose out on wages lost to hours missed at work and money paid to have their expensive vehicle back in operating order. Ford has offered to let me buy a new part, at my expense, and pay them over $200 labor to replace.

While raising the front passenger window of my 2004 Ford f150 truck, I heard a loud bang and the window dropped. The window could not be raised. From the stand point of safety, the wind noise driving at highway speeds creates a distraction and contributes to driver fatigue. If the failure occurs in heavy traffic at highway speeds, there is the real potential for the driver to be startled to the point of failure to retain control of the vehicle. From a physical security stand point, passengers, pets and personal property are all at risk if the vehicle cannot be secured. The only previous problem with power windows in this vehicle were with the rear window.

While driving on the freeway, I hear a loud bang from my drivers door. I thought somebody had hit me or threw something at my vehicle. I lost focus of my driving to see what was happening around me. Then my drivers window dropped and this scared me and cause me to swerve. I have researched and found that the window regulators on my vehicle are failing all the time. This happened a month ago and I now have three of my four windows with the same problem. I have had to take my doors apart and permanently fix my windows in the up position as I cannot afford the replacement window regulators. Now with my windows in the up position I hope I don't need to get out or them for any unforeseen incident.

2004 Ford f150 lariat 4door. Right rear power window. Third time power window has failed. Each time my family was on a road trip and the window came crashing down into the door.

Was driving home from work and my rear driver's side window dropped to the bottom for no apparent reason. I don't even use the window much. Pulled off door cover and found cable apart and wound and tangled behind motor. Called my buddy to see if he had it happen to his and before I could say anything he said he just came in from cramming a board in his rear widow make it home. They seem to be really poorly made.

Seems everyone is having to replace window regulators on 2004 and 2005 f150 trucks. I just had my 3rd one fall down today I've seen all over the net and have friends that seem to have the same problem I think Ford should own up to this problem and also repay for the problems.
