Three power window regulator went out on my ford f 150 2004 each within about two weeks of each other. after the first one, i took it to the ford dealership because it was still under warranty and they asked us to pay 100. about two weeks later another window went out, same thing... about two weeks later a third went out and when i asked ford to replace the forth window so i wouldn't have to come back and pay another 100, they told me flat out no. they said i have to wait for the window regulator to fail and that i would still have to pay for it. *tr

Drivers side power window failed on my 2004 ford f150, making it impossible to raise window. incident happened while in rural area of missouri over 60 miles from home, luckily my wife and i weren't driving down interstate 44 in the rain. if this happens while driving at 70 mph, someone could easily have an accident. the glass falls inside the door panel, because of some type of window failure. it is not acceptable for many owners of ford f-150's to have the same problems. *tr

2004 ford f150 lariat crew cab (four-dour) pick-up. heard a loud "pop" inside the front passenger door then the front passenger window just fell from the up position back inside the door leaving me without the ability to close it. the same thing happened to the driverside front window a about a year prior. i currently have 40000 miles on the truck and the previous event happened around 32000 miles. both times the vehicle was in motion at highway speed and scared the crickets out of me!!! *tr

2004 ford f-150 driver's side window made "pop" sound and window fell down into door frame - window regulator failed without notice when driving. *tr

Window on the ford f150 2004 model. window fell down and will not roll up, grinding noise. needs a new regulator but you must buy the motor also. cannot find a used one because it has happened to numerous trucks and you have to buy brand new. cost $400 to have fixed! *tr

All four of the window regulators have broken in this vehicle letting the windows fall down and sometimes i have been parked at and not around the vehicle, also have been sitting in the truck and they fall down while traveling down road. *tr

I was in the neighborhood, 3 houses away, when an oncoming car came. i swerved my passenger side mirror then struck a mailbox. the passenger window was down. in the process, on impact, the glass from the mirror exploded. when the mirror exploded, only then, the shattered glass flew into the window cutting a vane in my right arm. i bleed profusely for 20 min. i managed to slow down the bleeding but eventually went to medical center then to the hospital. glass flew into and fragments of glass penetrated the seats in the vehicle and clothing on the body. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f-150. the contact stated that while driving various speeds the drivers side front and rear window would suddenly fall without any warning. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they have not diagnosed the failure. the manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 47,000.

My drivers side window just fell open while driving and would not go back up. after investigating the power window unit had broken. 7 days later the same thing happened to the rear passenger window. the dealer told me this is common and is a defect but ford refuses to recall them. the dealer said it will most likely happen to your other 2 windows as well! $400 each to repair. *tr

The power window regulator on my 2004 f-150 truck failed while driving. very disheartening to find out that this is a common occurrence, an expensive repair and yet neither ford or the nhtsa has done anything to fix the problem. *tr

Passenger window was grinding when going up or down. finally, it came crashing down while driving this morning. startled me to a point i could have been distracted enough to lose control. *tr

2004 f-150 fx4 - drivers side window fall down due to cable - repaired under warranty . rear passenger and rear drivers side windows fell down within a week apart due to cable coming off tracks, or rollers. notified ford motor company of this problem and i was advised to take it to a local dealer to see if it could be a malfunction. dealers charge to diagnose generally and i should not have to pay for something that is not my fault, as they are rarely used, especially at the price they charge. i noticed a lot of complaints to ford for this same problem. please look into this, or is this a clunker they want you to trade for a new clunker. *tr

I have a 2004 ford f150 with 39000 miles on it , one day last week i heard a loud pop and the passenger side window fell to the bottom of the door . this is the second window that failed since i bought the truck new , i have heard from other friends that they had the same problem with there 04 and 06 model trucks . this could be a safety problem if it was raining or snow . i have read on web sites that this happens to all ford f150 trucks and ford refuses to start a recall for this problem , plus they charge over $300 to repair the regulator. *tr

2004 f150 fx4 5.4l engine. both of my window regulators went out within 4 months of each other. the truck had around 50,000 miles on it. the windows just "fell" as i was driving down the road. *tr

I bought a 2004 ford f-150 last year with 36k miles on it. i have had to replace all three windows because i keep coming out to my truck and the windows are down. i checked no recall this morning driving to work another window fell down and i only have 46k miles on this truck. i do believe this should be a recall on these and ford motor company should be responsible for fixing this. from sometime last year will check records for confirmed date every three months i am loosing a window june 10. *tr

I was raising the drivers side power window on my 2004 ford f150 when i heard a loud pop. at first the window stayed in place about 3/4 closed then it dropped down into the door. i took the truck to my local ford dealer who told me it was the window regulator and he was happy to replace it for $388.32 + tax. i had no choice but to replace it. after i got home and did some research on the internet i learned that this is a common problem on both the 2004 and 2005 models and i can expect the remaining three windows to follow shortly. as common as this problem appears to be i feel ford should issue a recall on the part. *tr

I have a 2004 ford f150 lariat supercrew. on 6/11/09 i rolled all the windows down to air out the vehicle and then rolled them back up and heard a loud pop coming from the right rear window. then the glass just fell down into the door. on 6/22/09, the same thing happened to the left rear window. after searching on-line i discovered that this is a very common problem with other owners of ford f-150s. i then called ford and they would not do anything to resolve the issue. i hope you guys can make them bear responsibility for these obvious defects. *tr

Since approx june of 2009, i've had to replace all 4 electric window regulators. all 4 fell to the bottom of the door while driving.

While driving on the freeway, i heard a loud pop (sounded like a gunshot) that made me swerve. after stabilizing my truck, i realized that the cause of the loud pop was a broken window regulator on the passenger side. then yesterday again i was driving and the other window did the same thing, this has now happened to me 3 times!!!!!!! *tr

Window on driver and passenger sides have fallen while driving. ford f150 2004. *tr

I was driving down the road in my 2004 f-150 and the rear drivers side window fell down in to the door. i had a friend with the same year f-150 that had this happen so i call him. he said it would cost me $450 to repair at the ford place and that is was a faulty window regulator. in addition, he said the mechanic at the ford dealership told him this was a very common occurrence and he did not know why there had not been a recall. he also said that this would very likely happen to the other windows in the truck and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. i don't understand why there has not been a safety recall for this problem. *tr

Have had 2 window regulator failures on one of my ford trucks and 2 window regulator failures on my other ford truck that my daughter drives. i am down to 50% working windows and my daughter is at 0%! her last one occurred 2 days ago while she was driving and it scared her so bad, she almost drove off the road! mine happened yesterday! the parts have not been replaced, the windows are being held up with tape which won't hold very long. *tr

Ford 2004 supercrew pickup has now had 2 window regulator failures within months apart. last one was the rear window which has probably not been lowered more than 5 times if that many in the life of the truck. *tr

I have a 2004 ford f-150. just yesterday i got into my truck and went to put the window down and heard a pop and the window fell completely down into the door. i went online to research and found out that this is an extremely common problem with the f-150. i would hope that a recall should take place given the amount of claims from f-150 owners. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 ford f-150. the contact stated while the sitting in the parked position, the rear passenger side window involuntarily fell open. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop where the contact was informed the window regulator failed. the window regulator was replaced. the failure recurred on the front passenger and driver's side windows. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop at each failure where the window regulator was replaced. the manufacturer advised there were no additional complaints of the failure and would not provide any assistance. the failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 87,000.

There were no events leading up to the event of failure....this is the second window regulator to just completely break with no warning leaving my window dropping from the complete up position. we were just arriving back to my vehicle from the house and the window just dropped .... the vehicle was not even running at the time. *tr

I have a 2004 f150 truck that my deceased husband owned. he passed in 2006, therefore the truck sits in my garage most of the time. it only has 28,000 miles on it. i drive a 2004 mustang. i was rolling the window down over the weekend, and it started graveling and suddently just fell in the inside of the door. i took it to the ford dealership where we purchased the truck and it cost $390.79 for them to repair the regulator and give it an oil change. i keep the oil changed in it even though i don't drive it much. why is this regulator not on the recall list. i have researched the internet and i see that a lot of folks have had the same issues. *tr

I have a 2004 ford f150 with 3140 miles. i was driving when the driver's side window fell with no warning, which cause me to almost hit on coming traffic. it happen so fast that i thought i have been hit that made me lose my been alert while i was driving. i almost hit a car head on and felt sick. i have seen in the web just how big a problem ford has with windows falling down but yet they say there is no problem. they are very happy to have ford owners pay $300 to $400 every time the windows fall and they will continue to fall. it will come that somebody will be hurt or kill in an accident just because ford in not doing anything about this serious problem. i do hope that a serious injury is not what it takes for ford to correct the window problem. *tr

Power window regulator failure: this is the second power regulator failure on my 2004 f150. first regulator was on front driver window last year. second regulator failure was last week on passenger window. repair cost is approx. $450 per failure. i have a crew cab with four window. my research indicates this is a very frequent problem with f150 models 2004 through 2008. these failures can happen at any time. first time was on the highway during winter. my 2 year old was in the back seat and had to endure some very cold wind during our ride home (lucky for us it wasn't raining). *tr

Three of the four power windows in my 2004 ford f150 have had experienced window regulator failures while driving. all three have occurred in the past year. the vehicle has never had an accident and there is no reason the regulators should have failed from regular use. i checked with ford and there is no recall despite the fact that there is an obvious defect in design to lose 3 out of 4 window regulators. *tr

My husband has a 2004 f150 and in september of 2008 he heard a popping sound in the passenger window - shortly after that... the window fell abruptly down into the door. this was a costly repair and i felt it was a safety concern at that time, but took it to just be a fluke of some sort. well a few days ago on may 27th, 2009 he heard the same popping sound, this time coming from the drivers side window. to my disbelief the same thing happened again to the drivers side window - the window fell abruptly. this time i decided to search the web for a re-call and found numerous complaints from people about the same exact thing. this is not only a safety issue and the parts should be re-called immediately before someone gets hurt. *tr

I have a 2004 ford f150 supercrew and the rear driver side window just fell down and when i got it to the shop to have it worked on the driver side front window fell down as well. they said it was the regulator on the window that broke. this truck only has 37,500 miles on it and the windows are not used that much. i am afraid that before long the other two doors are also going to have this issue and once again i will have to go and have it fixed and ford will not own up to the fact that they have defective parts in the door window assembly. *tr

1. the driver's front window failed and fell down into the door. it will not roll back up. it has not yet been replaced. apparently a very common problem with this model of vehicle. as a rescue worker i see how this could be a safety problem if this were to happen while driving down the road. the window could shatter and cause a wreck. *tr

Window regulator failure, resulting in the left rear window free falling into door channel. the sound of the window falling and the sudden rush air distracted me and could have resulted in a loss of control. this was the 3rd window regulator failure in 2 years. cost of the repair was approx. $400. *tr

It can happen at anytime and i hope it isn't monsoon season like it is for me when it happens. i was just rolling up my window and when it reached the top something snapped. the window slip back down into the door. this isn't the first time or the second, this is the third time around. check out any web site on ford trucks and this will be the top complaint. some may say that the door windows aren't a safety issue, only issues involving the windshield. for me the safety issue is theft, i didn't buy the truck with an alarm system for nothing. so, when the window pops and you can't roll the thing up i'd say there's a safety issue. driving in the rain with a make shift garbage bag window isn't so safe either. my aftermarket warranty paid for the fix the first two times, but a haven't had the pleasure of informing them that it's happened for a third time in two years. i'll be sure to mention the website complaints to them as well. i know there are a lot of angry ford truck owners out there that would appreciate if this safety issue was taken seriously. i know that ford has bigger problems right now, but with the amount of complaints i've seen about this issue there should be some inquiry to a safety recall. *tr

Rear window regulator on 2004 ford f150 has failed twice in last month giving a loud pop and the window falling into the door. my wife was driving the truck and nearly had accident both times due to the failure ran truck over curb looking for source of noise first time if she had been in heavy traffic i can guess where this would have gone. *tr

Door window regulator failed while driving, window slipped inside door. *tr

Window sounded like gravel was in it, then window fell while driving. seems to be a common problem on the 2004 f150s, and ford will not cover, and to boot..the part alone is over 200$ and of course they stock them....because they go out. volkswagen had a similar issue, but with their clips, but they had the guts to admit they were bad and replaced them for free.... *tr

2004 ford f150 window hazard / broken i was driving on interstate 15 when all of a sudden the window collapsed... simply falling down into the door. i attempted to roll the window up, but window will not roll back up. my 1 1/2 year kid was getting pounded with wind. when i got home, i removed the door panel to find what looked like a wound up spool of fishing line. instead it was the window regulator that had failed. the very next day, today may 18, a second window gave out while driving on milliken ave in ontario!!! this is very dangerous and scary event when your traveling 70 mph and the window falls! ford really needs to take a look at this design and fix the problem!! recall. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f150. while the vehicle was parked the contact attempted to open the front drivers side window when the glass fell into the door. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technicians replaced the window regulator. the contact stated that the drivers side rear window and the front passengers side window also experienced the same failure but had not been repaired because the warranty expired. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Rolling up drivers window then the regulator broke and the entire window dropped into door. had to buy parts to repair. *tr

2004 ford f-150 window regulator failure. driving down the road went to roll up the passengers window and it got almost to the top and it fell down into the door. *tr

May 20009 front passenger window had loud "pop" noise window slammed down into door and became inoperable. 2 weeks later the rear right side passenger window had a "pop" noise but this time only slid down into door. window is inoperable. june 2009, truck was broken into from the front driver side lock, & somehow the rear left window popped & slid down on the way home after filing the police report. unsure if the last window issue is related but when the front driver window was repaired 2 years ago under warranty the dealership worker told me that it was a defect ford has. *tr

Window regulator spontaneously failed while vehicle in motion causing the window to "drop" into the door, very startling - loud "popping sound"! had this occurred during bad weather or under a number of other conditions i would have had a major problem. *tr

Within a month both drivers and passenger side windows dropped inside door with a load boom, broken regulator. window stuck on down position until regulator is replaced. *tr

2004 ford f-150 window regulator failure. caused by poor construction and materials. hazard to occupants as windows fall down totally unexpected. it costs over $350 per window to fix. ford has failed to provide a correct replacement under warranty. this poor quality item effects all f and e series vehicles from 2004 to 2009. ford should issue and pay for a recall to replace these units. *tr
