Window regulators failed in all four doors of my 2004 ford f-150 supercrew pickup early in the life of the vehicle. There is a systematic design or quality flaw in these regulators with minimal usage. When the regulator fails, the windows fall down inside the door and cannot be raised without disassembly of the door.
Window regulator on 2004 f150 has failed. This is now the 3rd position that has failed.
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.
I purchased a used 2004 f-150 truck 3-months ago and it was parked in the driveway for 2-days. Upon opening the driver door I noticed the passenger window was in the down position and would not raise. My ford dealer indicated the plastic parts on the regulator had failed and dropped the window inside the door. I don't understand why. Noone was opening or closing the passenger door or attempting to raise or lower the window. Had this happened while the vehicle was moving or next to a passenger, the results could have been catastrophic. When I park and lock my truck, I don't expect the windows to fall out or down into the doors. This then becomes a personal safety issue and provides an opportunity for theft or vandalism of the vehicle. The plastic parts are obviously cheaper to use and not engineered for the stresses on them or the weight of the window. I'm out $458.00 in repair bills for a single window repair. Two ford service advisors I spoke with said they had never heard of the problem on a ford. It's all over the internet but they have no knowledge of the problem? There should either be a formal recall or ford should make the repairs at no cost and substitute metal clips and parts rather than using plastic. Reimbursement for past repairs should also be included. I'm thankful my vehicle was neither robbed or vandalized and that I discovered the problem before the storm hit my area. Undiscovered, there could have been serious interior water damage in addition to the window repair.
My window regulator gave out for the 3rd time this year I cant afford to pay $200+ dollars to replace a part that wont be sold with out motor so that they can charge more on my 2004 ford f150 supercrew.....
I have 2004 ford f150 supercrew with approximately 73,000 miles. Three windows have failed due to broken plastic parts associated with the window regulator.
Window of 2004 ford f150 falls down into door causing loud sudden crash almost causing accident.
I was driving my 2004 f150 when the passenger side window disappeared I thought the window was shot out by a gun and just about crashed into other cars on the free way this is just junk if they fall down at will.
Driving around my neighborhood with temperatures in the high 90's low 100's and I decided to roll up my passenger side window I rolled it up and I heard a loud pop or snap and the window slipped down into the door as I was driving. It will not stay up unless I use tape to keep it up. It is obvious how dangerous this could have been were I driving in the rain or snow on the highway or at any speed really the loudness of the pop was quite concerning and distracting.
2004 ford f-150 driver's side window popped loudly and snapped down to fully open position.
For the third time in one year I have replaced the regulator/motor on three different windows. I was on the interstate at the time and was startled when it happened. It concerns me that this continues to happen and I am glad I am generally calm so it did not cause an accident.
My 2004 ford f150 driver side front window quit moving up and down with use of the button. It still makes noise, but does move. The window does move down on its own, whenever it wants to. After researching the problem on "google", apparently, it is a very common problem with this year and model of truck. I contacted ford, and got the runnaround about them not knowing of any issues like this one. They will not fix it, unless someone makes them put out a recall. I do not have near enough money to fix this right now and am worried about it falling down while driving, especially in bad weather. It also makes it very easy for someone to break into my truck.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 ford f150. The contact stated that each window regulator failed and was replaced at least once since owning the vehicle. On two occasions, the window glass shattered all over the contact. The initial failure was repaired by the dealer. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility for repairs to the remaining windows. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000 and the current mileage was 51,000. Updated 11/16/10.
All 4 windows have stopped working on my 2004 ford f-150 truck also my rear slider is now failing and I have another window out and 2 more failing ! Gezzzzz seriously expensive and frustrating ! I also have a problem with my 6 cd changer that came stock on my truck I have never been able to use it !
1. Driving on major freeway in my 2004 ford f150 when I here a pop and turn around and notice my back window missing, 2 weeks later I hear the same pop and notice my front side passenger window was sliding down. 1 month after that im riding alone and my driver side passenger window would not work on command. Now im riding in my car with 3 windows not working. I have paper holding my windows up as I called ford and was told it would cost me 420 per window to repair not including tax. I also was told to expect my 4th window to go out as well.
1. When rolling my passenger window up I heard a loud pop and the window fell back down into the door. 2. Now my window wont roll up and the cable on the main pulley is wrapped around the pulley axle and is kinked in several places. 3. I am having to buy a whole new regulator and maybe even a new motor for my door just so I can keep the water and bugs out of my truck and the air in.
I have a 2004 ford f150 and the window suddenly dropped and know ford is telling me that I have to pay $450 to fix my window regulator. The motor still works but they are making me buy the regulator and motor. This is not the first time this has happened to me or my other friends that have ford trucks. It is a safety problem that ford needs to step up and take responsibility .
All side windows in my 2004 f150 crew cab are failing. A window will randomly fall into door body with no warning. Last failure nearly caused an accident due to the distraction and poor weather conditions at the time.
2004 f-150 3 of the 4 power window regulators have failed. Two within a 5 day period while the vehicle was parked. The windows fall to the bottom into the door, this could be a very dangerous situation if a child or pet had been leaning on these windows. I demand a recall as I understand thousands of these regulators have failed and I want this situation resolved before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Window regulator failure, I have a 2004 ford f-150 with 45000 miles on it, so far I have had to replace 4 window regulators @ $500 a pop, the 5th one went out today. I wasn't even using the window, just driving down the freeway and bang! A loud noise I thought something hit the truck, then I looked back and the window had fallen. Talk about economic loss. Ford doesn't seem to care. This is a hazard as well, what has to happen do you have to have a small child or pet could fall out and get killed. I looked and there are a lot of complaints about this same issue. Something needs to be done!
2004 ford f150. Electric windows will fall down into doors. Passenger and driver side window have fallen within 5 months. 32,000 miles. Have to replace cables that hold windows.
Right rear window fell down into inside of door and two weeks later the left rear window did the same thing. Both times I had people in the back seat.
I have a ford f-150 that the right rear window and sliding electrical window have failed. The dealership wants to charge me almost $800.00 to fix it. The biggest cost is supposedly the labor for the rear sliding window. As I reviewed the complaints it is quite obvious that this is a common problem. I have owned four fords and all have had similar problems. Ford should step up and reengineer these components.
My driver side window regulator starting making noise and failed and my window fell to the bottom of the door.
Riding down the road and heard a loud pop. Afterwards, my passenger window began to slide down. My son drives the same model 2004 f-150 ford triton xlt truck and it was the window regulator. Approx. Cost to repair was $350.00. The noise was so loud it caused me to jump and jerk the steering wheel.
I have a 2004 ford f150. Recently the drivers window fell to the bottom of the door. After some research I have found that the window regulator has failed. Upon further research I found that this has happened to a lot of other people, so I am reporting this problem to you.
Back driver side window dropped into the door while driving. A few months later the passenger side window fell into the door while my granddaughter was in her carseat in the back seat while I was driving. This not only scared me but also my granddaughter. This could have caused a serious accident. Is that what it is going to take before a recall is made on this defective part? Look at what toyota is going through now by delaying action on safety recalls.
I have a 2004 f150 supercrew. I purchased this vehicle new. I have replaced the power window regulator on 3 of the 4 windows after immediate and catastrophic failure. Without warning, the regulator fails and the window simply plummets into the door. It has been a miracle the glass has never shattered it falls so hard. Once it happened when closing a door, once while traveling down the highway, and a third time while sitting in the driveway overnight. My 4th regulator just failed yesterday while driving in town. It would be very easy to imagine a situation where this would present a very serious safety issue. Inclement weather all of a sudden being blown into the cab. Children or pets sitting next to the window when it fails, materials from inside the cab being blown out, etc. Not to mention the potential theft issue when it occurs just sitting in a parking lot or on the street. Ford should recall these window regulators and reimburse everyone who has had to deal with faulty regulators since the problem first came to light. I am listing the last incident as the "date" but they have been failing at a pace of every 6 - 18 months.
Driver's side window fell down into the door while driving. It cost $373.60 to fix the window regulator assembly. Ford would not pay for the repair. Research on the internet proves this to be a fairly common problem with f-150's.
