Problems with 2004 Ford F-150 VISIBILITY

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 ford f-150. while driving 30 mph, the sun roof exploded into pieces. there were no injuries. a dealer was not made aware of the failure. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 247,000.

The mirror(s) are full of corrosion and the drivers side mirror fell right off the car while driving. *tr

I have had sunroof fixed twice. keeps jumping off track & now need to get it fixed for third time. also, all 4 power windows have failed and had to be fixed a few times. *tr

Driving down my street the window just crashed down! it fell so fast and hard that i had to look to my right side to see what hit me! at that point i rear ended a car that slowed down! all this is do to a cheap plastic clip that failed and released the window. *tr

On my 2004 ford f150 xlt lariat supercab, the passenger rear window regulator has now failed. the driver's one went first (within three years of ownership), then the front passenger one (a few months later) then the rear passenger one ( about a year after the first) and now this. all four regulators have had to be replaced from the original factory installed ones. this latest one occurred while the truck sat parked in the driveway unoccupied; all the others happened on the roadway while the vehicle was in motion. *tr

This is my second window regulator to break. the first was the rear passenger window several months ago. while driving on expressway at 60 mph i heard a pop and then air noise. (i seldom use the rear windows.) the mechanic had to replace regulator and motor because that was all the dealer had in stock. today i had window down about an inch while parked. got in truck and raised front passenger window and heard pop. i knew what the problem from last time and with talking to other ford truck owners. a friend has the same model truck and has replace three of the four regulators in his ford truck. when i began driving the window dropped. this truck has never been driven hard or off road. there has to be some flaw in these regulators. i am 66 years old and have owned many different makes and model of vehicles and this seems to be a common thread for these ford trucks. *tr

I was doing a day trip hauling horses by myself when i was getting ready to head home when i heard this terrible noise and soon watched the rear right window disappear and would not go back up. i took it into ford today and was told it would cost $300 to fix but they did not have in stock and that it was the regulator that went out. i had them check the right front window as well as it would go down but would not go up using that door window switch and that the switch needs replaced and that would be $130 dollars and again part was not in stock so could not replace. so when i went in to get my truck all of a sudden i find out that other than the oil change which i expected my bill just for them to look at and oil change was over $190.00 and my windows were not fixed yet and not told ahead of time what the charge might be so the extra $150 was totally not budgets. but had to pay as i needed my truck to get home. i ...

I started up my truck in my driveway and began to lower the driver and passenger side windows when the driverside window just fell down. *tr

Replaced two window regulators in vehicle. driver's windown and passenger window.

I own a 2004 ford f150 4-door p/u. over the past several years three of the four window in my ford f150 have fallin at different times ( window regulator ). ford refused to pay for the repair and i was told they know about the problem, however, were not going to issue a recall. this week my 4th window regulator broke causing the window to fall again while in a shopping center parking lot. i advised ford this was unsafe and how can anyone secure a vehicle with faulty window regulators. someone could lose control of their vehicle if this occurs during driving and this issue should be addressed. *tr

Got into vehicle, started, and immediately loud popping sounds came from under the engine, and worse when put into reverse. luckily had 2 hobby mechanics, that i work with, come take a look. they immediately determined that one of my spark plugs had backed-out. they took the cover off and determined it was the 1st spark plug, and luckily the threads were in good shape. put spark plug back in, and vehicle started fine after that. i travel 45 miles one way to/from work. if this happens again, could leave me stranded. 2nd luck, no repair cost. i can only imagine what the dealer would have charged. in addition, 2 weeks later, i had the 3rd (2 previous were in front right & rear driver window) out of 4 door windows fall into the door. this time it was the driver's front door - regulator assembly. loud bang before they fell. scared me - thought someone had thrown a large rock at my vehicle. this is the 3rd to fail within 8 months (last 2 on the same day in july 2012). total repair cost on windows was $900.00. there is ...

I was driving my 2004 ford f150 supercab down the street in my neighborhood on my way to work. i rolled up the power windows and heard a weird sound from the passenger door. i decided to roll it back down to see what was going on. as soon as i pressed the down button, the window just fell right into the door. it was a little frightening and could see how it could cause a wreck if it happened on the interstate. when i got to work, i got out to check it out. i could still hear the motor working, but i could hear pieces of glass and knew the window shattered. *tr

Driver side power window, this is the forth time i have to have window repair on my truck, previous time before last one, was in july only 4 months ago i had to pay almost $300 to repair window, and now last time paid $425 dollars to repair that very same window and this time is the window regulator. window will make a loud noise and drop, unable to bring it up or closed again. *tr

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. *tr
