About a year ago I was driving my f-150 pickup truck down street maybe 45 m.p.h when out of nowhere the driver side window made a loud noise and fell down into the door . Ended up that the window regulator had broken . Then yesterday I was driving about 50 m.p.h and my back window was open about 2 inches I pushed the button to make it go up , it made a loud grinding noise and fell into the door also.

The window regulator linkage continually break. First incident was the driver's side door, and on 7/14/14, the right rear door. By the number of complaints on the web, it is obvious these regulators have a manufacture defect that causes premature failure. The only window fall into the door when the device is operated.

When I pulled out of parking lot at approx. 5 MPH I heard a very loud noise in the rear of the truck. Sounded like something hit my vehicles back door. When I looked back all looked normal. A few minutes later I heard air blowing. Like a window was down. Rear window had started to slowly slide down. Mechanic informed me the window regulator had failed. 203.00 just for the part !!!! And he said more will break too. Nice job ford.

When driving down the road a 35 MPH my driver side window made a loud pop sound and the window fell down into the door. I had to buy a whole new window regulator assembly. I have seen this to be a problem on this site and many other online forums. There must be a defect with the regulators. Mine was so bad that the cable actually frayed and snapped. This is a safety hazard that should be addressed.

Rear passenger window regulator stopped working and window fell into door. Had my wife done this while driving she would have been scared by the loud popping noise and potentially crashed into object injuring herself and or others. This is a common problem and ford needs to recall the trucks with the plastic parts and faulty mechanism. Search the web and there are hundreds of vehicles with the same issue . Years 2004-2006. Ford needs to recall!

We had just left our house and the driver side window fell down into the door and would not come back up. I looked on the internet and youtube to find out this has happened to 100's of the f150's. This is very dangerous because evidently it can happen to any of the windows on the truck. One of my grandchildren could have been riding with us and possible fall out a window. I understand there is no recall for this. I emailed ford about this but it stated the might not even acknowledge it.

Driving home and suddenly there was a loud bang. I thought someone shot out my window. After arriving home I looked at it and realized that the glass had dropped down into the door. I took it to the dealer and paid $350 for the repair. These window regulators need to be recalled or banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
