Yes my 4x4 is not working and I have read over 300 post easy about the same problem people are having. Thousands of people are having the same problem I have had with my truck. Obviously if there are that many people with the same year of truck and same problem why isnt Ford doing a recall? they say the problem is the iwe, solenoid, the problem why it happens in the first place is there isnt a rain cover over the solenoid underneath the hood. I do believe that this is a hudge saftey hazzard and almost caused me to be in an accident about three weeks ago because my four wheel drive went out! Ford please do a recall before someone gets hurt or even die! I do believe that Ford should be responsible for this issue and have a recall to get these vehicles fixed.
My 2005 Ford f150 needed the spark plugs to be removed. I went to remove them and they were all defective. I had to have the truck towed and repaired. They charged me $941. 00 which crazy. This is 3 times the amount it would cost to repair on my own if the spark plugs on my own which is what I was trying to do. Ford dealership would do nothing for me even after I told them and showed proof of many many many people having the same issue on a forum. There is a problem!.
Window regulator failure.
While sitting still, using the power window switch to raise driver side window, the window rolled all the way up and then heard a grinding noise, and the window drop into the door in less than a second. This has previously happen on the passenger side window about a year ago.
I own a 2005 Ford f150 XLT w/ electric windows. My truck has 82,000 miles on it and has been serviced by the dealership regularly since I bought it new. I was driving to run errands and my drivers side window made a large pop noise and started to slide down inside my door. I was traveling about 40mph on a busy two way street. I used one hand to hold my window up and the other to steer until I could find a spot to pull over. I eventually had to let the window drop to the bottom of the door to return home.
Faulty window regulators on f150 trucks. Driving back from California to nevada with my two year old granddaughter in the back seat and the window fell in to to door. We had to drive 300 miles in a rain storm with the window down, and this is the third time this has happened since I bought this truck new in 2005 and Ford will not take responsibility for the issue. This is not except able by the manufacture and because this has happened to so many people we need to boycott buying Ford products.
I was driving along in my 2005, Ford F-150 pick-up truck about to make a stop when the passenger side window just fell into the door, it sounded like a small explosion frightening myself and my wife who was a passenger. I have read to many stories concerning the problems with the windows falling to not report this one. If it have not happen yet, there is the possibility of one of these glasses breaking and flying out of the window frame because my glass temporarily hung at an awkward position prematurely before dropping down into door frame.
I have a 2005 Ford f150 4 door. While driving, I heard a loud pop and my drivers door window fell to the bottom of the door. The loud noise was a shock and a possible safety hazard. Approximately a week later, the right rear window did the same thing!! I have read several things on line about this stating that the window regulators going out on these vehicles is a common problem. I have not had either fixed due to the cost. There are numerous issues with this problem on line and needs to be recalled.
The paint is peeling off down to the metal on the roof of my truck. This is a $38,000 truck that I have kept washed and waxed since I bought it. Ford will not claim responsibility.
It was a scorching sunny florida day when my window on my 2005 f150 would no longer work due to a window motor regulator assembly failure that the dealership would like to repair it at the wonderful cost of over $300 american dollars. The window motor regulator assembly has been intermittently working in the truck for the past few months, not to mention the window switch which had to be replaced at my own expense a couple about a year ago on my truck which is was only 4 1/2 years old at the time. The window would no longer roll up, causing severe sun burn to arms. Ford should repair this issue at no cost, especially since it is a known problem already.
2005 Ford F-150, right rrear window mechanism pops real loud,window falls into the door. I was not rolling it up or down,just driving down the road. The truck just turned 34,000 miles. It has been garaged and taken care of all its life.
Heard loud pop when rolling window up and then window fell into the door. This was the passenger side window. I had the exact same thing happen in September 2009 with the drivers side window. The cause of that was broken regulator in the window. The windows just fall down into the doors. Could be very dangerous if there is a defect with the regulators and someone was traveling at any rate of speed. Luckily my windows did not shatter in the door when they fell.
At a stop with my foot on the brake the truck lunged foward.
2005 Ford f150 spark plug ejected from engine.
2005 f150 supercrew 4x4 lariat; with a 5. 4 3 valve/cylinder engine; check engine light came on and indicated cylinder 5; mechanic went to pull the plug which broke in two with the bottom part still in the block. Had to have it towed to a Ford dealer; $150 to remove the plug plus $29 parts and labor. Plug has a design flaw that Ford has known about since at least 1997. For most triton egnine owners, you find out the hard way when the engine light comes on or when you go in for a tune up; minimum cost $150; for every broken plug - $150 to remove it; if it can not be removed, the engine and/or front end has to be pulled (per Ford repair bulletin) to remove the head(s). Cost: $1,000 - $3,000. Most vehicles are "out of warranty" by this time which Ford then dismisses as not a "warranty problem" but rather a "service issue". The dealerships make a killing off the customers because of an inept, incompetently designed spark plug. Ford has known about this problem since the late 1990s but refuses to do anyting as the ntsb has done nothing to issue a recall. Duh.
Attempted to have spark plugs changed in accordance with vehicle maintenance manual at 100,000 mile. While this was being done 3 factory installed motorcraft spark plugs broke off. As a result I was charged a total of almost $700 for the removal of these broken plugs. The dealership technician informed me that 100% of all 2004-2007 f150 trucks that have the plugs removed as required at 100,000 miles have plugs that break. Ford nor the dealership would cover the cost of this defective product and defective Ford design.
Truck would idle extremely bad, when you cut it off it wouldn't start. This started happening on Friday, December 31, 2010. I took the truck to firestone and they run a diagnostic test which at the time did not show the throttle body problem because the "check engine" light was not on at the time. However, firestone replaced the fuel filter, did a tune up and replaced the battery and removed the gas tank to clean it but this still did not resolve the problem and this cost me $369. The truck was then taken to a Ford dealership and on the way there the "check engine" light did come on. The dealership advised us after the diagnostic test that we needed a throttle body and electronic egr valve which will cost $1330. 00.
2005 f150 just dies without any warning. Driving down the hwy and just dies. It happens frequently, just dies, it always takes a few tries to get it restarted. We were told that the throttle body needs to be replaced. We know at least 4 other familys that also have 2005 f150's and they have experienced the same problem. My CO-worker has hers in the Ford shop right now and they are charging 1300. 00 to fix it. It seems to me that with all of the complaints this should be a safety recall and replaced by Ford CO.
While driving down the road, I heard a loud pop and the driver side window went crashing down inside the door. Had it replaced under warranty. A few days after the maintenance warranty ended (1yr 2 days). . . . The same problem happened to the same window and it happened while I was driving down the road again and almost caused me to wreck. This is a very unsafe issue that I am finding out about with a lot of 2005 Ford vehicles. Please do something about this issue Ford.
My 2005 Ford F-150 front passenger window fell inside the door. This is the second time I have had this same problem, first time it was my front driver side window, the dealer repaired it, it was the regulator. This time I disassembled the door panel so I could 'attempt' to fix the problem myself. Upon looking inside the door at the regulator/motor, all I saw was the cable wrapped around the regulator.
Driving down a busy downtown interstate, smooth pavement, bumper to bumper traffic and I hear a loud pop and sound of glass breaking from the left side of my vehicle. Lot of road rage in the city I live in, so for a second I thought someone shot thru my window so I reacted with a quick swerve and almost collected the car to my right. After I got to a place to stop and investigate the drivers side door glass was gone. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he informed me the window regulator had failed and let the glass fall to the bottom of the door and shatter. I understand from info from my mechanic and on the net this is a common problem for Ford products. I could have easily collected the other car in my situation and caused a major accident. No telling how many have been killed because of this and Ford gets off scot-free because the persons in the Fords it happens to are dead and can’t tell the window falling caused them to react and cause an accident. Now their family’s not only have to deal with their loved ones death but may be dealing with the fact the accident may have caused other deaths.
This is the second time my window regulator failed in my truck. I was on the freeway and the regulator popped and the window fell. This, alone, scared me enough to make a jolt in my truck and secondly created quite a problem while driving on the freeway. If the weather conditions were not as good as they were, it would have been a serious problem.
I have a 2005 Ford f150 super crew pickup truck. As driving in a parking lot heard a very loud crash coming from a drivers to work a raise my arm to protect myself from flying glass that was expecting to contact me at my looked at the and/or glass it was still intact. The sound startled everyone in the car and including small children in the back seat. I stopped the car and checked to make sure everybody was okay which they were. I had to disassemble the door panel so that I could get the window and up as it was chilly outside. The following day I checked on the internet to see what was involved and replacing this broken window regulator and found that this is an extremely common problem on Ford truck's from 2004 - 2008. I contacted the Ford dealer and they stated that there was no recall or service bulletin. I suffered no injury but the potential is certainly there for a very large number of vehicles.
Windows suddenly falling down while traveling on public roads. Poses potential hazard to occupants and driver.
Driver air bag exploded instantly upon entering the vehicle.
The left front window regulator failed and window fell down into door 06/09/2010 at 39738 miles. Causing the vehicle to be vulnerable to theft. (at the time vehicle was parked overnight) repair at the dealer was $384. 00 - second failure was to the right front window regulator while driving. 11-13-2010 @ 61400 miles loud pop while window was being rolled up. Window dropped into door. This action caused an immediate distraction to me while driving the vehicle. This could be very unsafe and cause an accident! I truly believe these regulators are not sufficiently designed to reliable standards. I believe Ford should be made to replace the regulators with a new designed part at no cost to the customer. There are hundreds if not thousands of testimonials for this bad order part. Ford is not willing to aid in this matter.
The dealership liedto me they told me that I was buying the car and not leasing it. I have gone plenty times to the dealership but they don't put any attention to me. I had talkedto the sales peron gustavo maya. I also talked to j. R. Starika the manager of the dealership but he never tried to give me a solution for my problem. What I wanted was a purchase and not a lease.
