Window Regulator Failed Problems of Ford F-150 - part 2

2005 F-150 window regulator fails without warning. Had one replaced under manufacturer's warranty and another failed at 48k miles. Seems to be a common trend amongst Ford vehicles. I understand that this problem is not just limited to the 2005 models. Also appears in expeditions. This is a serious risk for theft, as well as a danger to the occupants. Most recent failure occurred while driving. It was raining when the window fell, making it difficult to drive. Could have easily resulted in an accident.

Passenger window regulator failed for the second time, window slammed and almost caused an accident while driving. Drivers one replaced 5 months ago. Now being told that the rear two are "going out" as well and need to be replaced. Dealership recognizes that there is a problem with these regulators, called Ford customer relationship center and all they would do was offer me a $750 gift card if I agree to buy a new Ford truck in the next 30 days. Are they kidding!!! I have always owned Ford trucks, but am going to look at the new tundra now as I can see that Ford does not stand behind their products, so much for being built Ford tough. . . . .

2004 Ford f150, 40k miles. Driving down road, hear loud pop, then the drivers side window fell into the door. Luckily glass did not shatter. Determined that window regulator had failed causing the problem (loud pop then window falling into door). Subsequent search of this failure indicated it is quite common. Federal government should require Ford to issue a recall to proactively replace these defective parts. Could cause driver to suddenly lose control of vehicle.

Window regulator failure in both front windows in the last 6 months.

Within the last four 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 failure which occurred last week was during a serious rain storm with my child sitting at the rear passenger window when it failed and fell into the door panel.

I opened the driver's side front door of my 2004 Ford F-150 with only 27,000 miles on the odometer and I heard a clunk sound in the door. The window was no longer in place and had fallen into the door. Took the door panel off and confirmed that the window regulator had failed prematurely. It should last a whole lot longer than it did. I read online that this is a widespread problem, latent defect in the design, and Ford will not fix it once the vehicle is out of its basic warranty. I need Ford to recall the vehicle to fix this latent defect.

Drivers side window regulator failed, cable snapped and the window fell into the door. Replaced, cost me $350. Right side rear just failed, haven't repaired as of yet. From the sounds of it I should expect more failures. This isn't right!! does someone need to get hurt before action is taken to have this issue recalled?.

I have had 2 window regulators fail on my vehicle within 2 months. The regulators have been on separated windows but both have been on the drivers side. At any given moment the cable snaps and the window falls down into the door. My first instance was the end of July while on a road trip. Now it is the beginning of October and my rear window dropped into the door frame with 57k miles on my vehicle. I do have an extended warranty; however, why should I pay a deductible everytime a faulty part breaks. Not to mention there are many people that don't have extended warranties. There are several reports of this happening. I have 2 windows left. Should I expect those cable to break at any given moment? should we expect to replace all window regulators every 50k miles? Ford need to recall this faulty part! it is scary and potentially dangerous to have the window fall down all of the sudden when you are driving down the interstate. When the window falls down there is no way to get it back up. Everything in the vehicle starts to blow around and you can't see. I can't imagine what it would be like if it were raining when the regulator cable breaks. I appreciate any help you can provide.

July 08 driverside power window regulator assembly failed, $400 repaired Aug 08 passenger side power window regulator assembly failed, $400 repaired oct 08 rear driverside power window regulator assembly failure, not yet repaired all winds became stuck in the down position.

Both front power window regulators failed within 60k miles without any input. The loud bang when they fail could cause driver distraction.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford f150. The contact stated that the window regulators failed and caused the window to spontaneously fall into the door. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the regulator needed to be replaced at the cost of $300. In addition, the technician replaced the failed component with a new regulator of the same design. The vehicle is currently being repaired. The contact called the manufacturer and they acknowledged the failure; however, they would not assume responsibility since there was no recall. The failure mileage was 38,000 and current mileage was 46,000.
