2006 Ford F-150: power window failure

Filed Jan 3, 2013 · Electrical, Visibility · 60,000 miles · CA

The driver's side window regulator on my 2006 ford f150 has broken three times, I was able to get two replaced under warranty, but the third time happened this last month, I am replacing it today. I believe from my experience, and from thousands of forum entries citing the same thing, that ford should recall this part. This part is going to cost me approximately $400.00 to repair.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The current mileage was 57,900 and the approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

Window fell down while driving on the freeway. Loud noise as window fell inside the door I almost crashed. Very close call. I have talked to many owners of this same model , different years, all report the same problem.

1. My truck was sitting in the driveway not being driven or anything and the right rear passenger window fell into the door. 2. If the weather had not been so nice my truck would be full of water or snow. 3. I purchased the extended warranty so it is getting replaced, but I have read about this failure and am planning on owning this truck for long after the warranty is over with. It sounds like even if the part is fixed that it will fail again and will continue to fail until the part is replaced with a stronger more suitable part that will stand up to the forces involved for the life of the vehicle instead of just about 40k miles and until it is out of warranty. This part is close to 400 bucks installed and the truck has 4 windows. That is a potential of 1600 bucks every 40k miles. I would appreciate a recall or a service bulletin to make sure that all of us f150 owners are protected against all this excess cost.

Drivers side window will not go up about 75% of the time. I took the truck to a ford dealer to be checked and they said the electrical box in the door needed to be replaced and it was not under warranty. When the gentleman went to check the price for the part he said he could not order it because they were out of stock due to the high demand for the part. He also stated that since the part was unavailable it lead him to believe there is a big problem with windows right now. Personally, I know there is a problem because I know three other people who own fords and they have problems too. My mother-in-law has a ford explorer which had the same problem two years ago, thankfully she was able to get it fixed through a recall. We feel that a vehicle that is two years old should not be having such a problem. Please investigate the problem for all ford vehicles, not just the f150, and you will see a huge problem. We feel it is time for a recall.
