Dt: 2004 ford f150. The contact stated when turning on the air conditioner was unable to adjust it or turn it off. He stated none of the buttons worked for the air conditioner. This occurred for approximately 15 minutes. The air conditioner finally turned itself off when he turned his headlights on. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. This only happened the one time, on october 15, 2005. *ak updated 11/30/2005 - this problem occurred once more after oct 15 an hasn't been repaired. The sliding rear window does not work. The fuel gauge did not indicate the correct amount of fuel after the vehicle was filled up.
Using power window controller to roll up vehicle windows, a loud bang sound like a gun going off happens, then the window(s) fall into the door frame. Dealer stated the problem is a faulty window regulator. I'm one of approximately 30 people at this dealership with this problem. Currently the dealer is stating the part is on a national back order and could be months before it is in. The vehicle is rendered useless, unable to roll up windows or secure the vehicle.
Driver side window fell into the door and will not roll up.
2004 ford f150 problems with upper ball joint assembly as well as tire wear.*mr the upper joint was the cause of the tire wear on one tire. The consumer stated since he purchased the vehicle it exhibited a rattle noise, the side view mirror had to be replaced because it was vibrating so badly, the hood had to be reinforced so it would not flutter at highway speeds. The vehicle needed a new transmission.
The position of the left windshield wiper is incorrect, preventing it from going all the way up and clearing the windshield during inclement weather. This is making the ability to see the road difficult. Manufacturer was contacted by consumer, and was informed that nothing could be done to adjust the windshield wiper.*ak the consumer stated that the drivers side wipers will not defrost.
Purchased new ford f-150 truck from dealership in april 2004. Wavy distortions in the windshield were evident. Reported defective windshield to dealership, which was then replaced in june 2004 (an approximate three week wait was required, because dealer reported that new windshields were not available.) second windshield was also distorted, and dealer in another state said that windshield should be replaced by dealer that had installed second windshield. Third windshield replaced in january 2005, after six weeks of negotiations with ford. This third windshield also has the wavy defect.
When using the heat in my 2004 f-150 super crew fx4 it constantly pours out of my dash. Even when set on floor or defrost it will pour our of the dash. After a few minutes of using the heat, the ride becomes quite uncomfortable. My face gets real hot and eyes get bloodshot from being dried out. I have taken it to ford 5 times and the first time they could see/feel the problem. Now that they cannot fix it, they tell me that it is normal operation. Which is absolutely false, especially when I own 2 of the same trucks and one does it and one does not.
First applaction of brakes after backing out of drive way that is stopping at the red light at (rt)#30-& main rd,brake lines at ABS control manfold,are vibrating so bad it sounds like the fan is rubbing somthing my experance with hydraulic. Tells me that the brake line fittings at there seat in the manafold will fali.#2 this truck has delux mirrors,signal mirrors,LED mounted in the bottom,r/s LED outer three cant be seen from the driver's seat.
While driving in inclement weather consumer noticed water coming through the rear window. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that the rear window needed to be replaced ,and replaced it three times. However, the problem recurred.
Consumer noticed that after the windshield wipers went off the front windshield became blurry. This caused poor visibility to the driver. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic replaced the windshield three times. However, the problem recurred. *ak consumer also had concern with vibration under the vehicle. Dealer found that the vibration is coming from the drivershaft, which was replaced by the dealer.
Consumer indicated that windshield had a wave in it which distorted the vision while driving. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions, and had it replaced. However, the problem recurred.
Driver's windshield wiper leaves 6" blind spot uncleared/unwiped in line of sight along driver's windshield pillar. Almost hit pedestrian as a result of not being able to see. Also pulled out at intersection in front of another car because unable to see. Dealer can not fix because the wiper is "keyed" to that position only. Ford has been unwilling to resolve issue. Other owners complaining of safety hazard too.
