Window regulator clips on 2005 f150 failed and window driver side window dropped to bottom of door panel.
I purchased a ford f150 xlt v8 5.4 2wd truck in july of 2005. Since then I have had to replace the regulator for the driver side power window. I just had the last one replaced in october of 08'. It is starting to fail again. When I press the button for the window to go down, once down it won't come back up. I have to physically lift the window back up. This is a noted and constant problem with this vehicle. Ford is aware of the issue but won't issue a recall or design a fix for the problem. In speaking with mechanics from ford, this issue started with the new model that came out in 2004. The 2005 models are prone to the defect. I should not have to replace the regulator three times in four years. This is an obvious issue to which I see no resolve. Please look into the matter.
I was driving my 2005 f-150 truck with 37,500 miles on it, when I heard a rattling noise coming from my drivers side window. It sounded as though the window was not all the way up. I then pushed the button to wind the window up and then the whole window just fell back into the door with a loud crash. I drove home and opened the door panel to see if the window was broken and it was not. I called a ford dealership and he said it was a common problem with the window regulator and that there was a redesign. I asked if there was a recall on it and they said that ford doesn't consider it a safety issue and therefore a recall is not required. I said that I was driving down the road at 60 MPH and my window falls out with a loud bang distracting me and being 35 degrees and raining out and that is not a safety issue. He then said ford doesn't see it that way. I had to pay $333 to fix a problem that ford knows about.
I have a 2005 ford f150 truck. The end of december 2009 the driver's side window fell down. It started with the electric window button sticking and ended up all of a sudden falling down. The ford mechanics said this is not unusual and could happen to all 4 windows. This is not a covered service for repair.
Window regulator on 2005 f-150 got in my truck, closed the door, and the window fell into the door. Reading online this seems to be a huge issue. It is very dangerous and costly.
The driver window regulator failed on my ford f150 truck. The window fell to the bottom of the door with no warning. Replaced regulator.
Your site shows a high number of complaints on the vehicle I own, a 2005 ford f-150, in which people are startled when a side window on this vehicle "pops" loud enough to be a gunshot, then falls into the doorframe. In reading their complaints you can see how lucky some of them where to avoid an accident. Much less having to pay ~$400. To have it repaired by ford. This clearly is a design flaw that should be corrected and paid for by ford motor co. My question to you is, why haven't you investigated this matter yet???
I was driving down the road in my 2005 ford f-150 when I heard a loud pop, it was my drivers side window that just gave out on its own. Now this same problem has happened to my passenger side window nearly 3 months ago. It a hazard for the simple fact that I driving on the road and it spoooked the '!@#$% out of me causing me to swerve on the other lanes. Please have this part recalled immediately. It has happened to me twice and my older brother also has a f-150 and him too has had this problem!!!
Windshield wiper motor failure. My windshield wipers ceased to work during a snow storm. Fortunately I was able to return home without any incidents. I was able to check the fuse and subsequently removed and tested the motor at which time I found that the motor is seized. I subsequently found that there is a safety recall for a similar problem on the next model year of my vehicle. Recall number 05v520000 covers 2006 f-150's I have a 2005 ford f-150.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford f-150. While driving in a rainstorm at 65 MPH the driver-side window collapsed. When the failure occurred, he heard a loud bang. He pulled over and then took the vehicle to a local repair facility. A technician stated that the window regulator failed. He called the manufacturer and was referred to the federal safety agency. The vehicle had not been repaired to-date. The current mileage was 53,547. The failure mileage was approximately 53,520.

Window regulator failed while driving. Loud crash in driver side door and then window drops to full open position. Was pouring down rain and suddenly being hit by wall of rain and loud crash I almost lost control of the vehicle on the interstate. I did research after getting home and this is a well know issue and is the most common fix for 2004-2008 f-150s, all models.
Windows fall out and crash into the door panel.
I have a 2005 ford f150 fx4 with a 5.4 triton. My problem is the motor regulators in the windows and switch failure. I stumbled upon a web site this morning and found that this has been an on going problem. Why won't ford recall the part and fix it. I am afraid to be driving down the road and my windows fall into the door. I will probably wreck and up dying because ford can fix the problem.
I have replaced 3 power window regulators, motors, and cables in the past 2 months. I have a 2005 f-150 lariat supercrew. All 3 times I have heard a loud pop and have almost lost control of the vehicle while driving. I feel that ford owes all consumers a recall to fix this problem or reimburse all consumers for money spent fixing this problem. The date that I am placing in the box is the most recent date that the problem occurred with my vehicle.
I own a 2005 ford f150 supercrew pickup. While driving I tried to lower the driver-side front window. As soon as I touched the power window switch the window fell all the way down into the door and became inoperable. After taking the inner door panel off I could see a mess of snarled cable inside the door. The local ford dealer wants over $400 to fix this problem. The service tech at the dealer admitted this was a problem he sees regularly and from what I have read on the internet I should expect to see the other 3 window regulators fail as well. This could be a safety issue as the window drops quickly and unexpectedly. The window could break or startle the driver enough to cause and accident.
On the f-150 trucks from years ranging 2004-2009 the power windows are failing due to a plastic piece that holds the cable in place. Once this plastic piece breaks and the weight of the glass cause it to fall into the door. The issue is this, if the plastic piece is all that keeps this window up, it is not long until car thieves find out that all they need to do is put enough pressure down ward on any of the windows and cause it to break. This issue is all over the internet, and ford dealership are acknowledge that this is a problem, but ford seems to think other wise.
In the middle of a rainy night, the window of my parked 2005 ford f150 fx4 simply fell into the door, leaving my interior to be soaked.
The window control switches on all 4 doors of my 2005 ford f150 crew cab xlt have quit working. And dealers tell me this happens a lot. Its ridiculous these go out and cost so much.

I have a 2005 ford f150 pickup and the driver side power window fell down into the door while being rollded up. I checked online and found this to be a prevalent problem with this model truck.
Both front power window regulators failed within 60k miles without any input. The loud bang when they fail could cause driver distraction.
My 2005 ford f150 has again for the 3rd time had a side window fall into the door panel of the truck. My understanding this is a very common occurrence with this model year truck, and since this is very distracting when it occurs I felt compelled to report it. My wish is for the federal safety agency to encourage ford motor to recall this model year vehicle, and repair the problem. Oh one last thing, the service advisers at ford has told me they are replacing the new failing window regulators with exact same defective part.
