2004 Ford F150 passenger window fell down into door while driving. The window will no longer operate. I have not had the part replaced yet, Ford says it will not be covered.
2004 Ford F150. I have had 3 of the 4 window motor/ regulators stop working within the past year. The vehicle only has approx 50K miles. The replacement part is approx $250 each time and is a dealer only part.
2004 Ford F150 lariat crew cab (four-dour) pick-up. Heard a loud "pop" inside the front passenger door then the front passenger window just fell from the up position back inside the door leaving me without the ability to close it. The same thing happened to the driverside front window a about a year prior. I currently have 40000 miles on the truck and the previous event happened around 32000 miles. Both times the vehicle was in motion at highway speed and scared the crickets out of me!!!
Drivers side power window failed on my 2004 Ford F150, making it impossible to raise window. Incident happened while in rural area of Missouri over 60 miles from home, luckily my wife and I weren't driving down interstate 44 in the rain. If this happens while driving at 70 mph, someone could easily have an accident. The glass falls inside the door panel, because of some type of window failure. It is not acceptable for many owners of Ford F-150's to have the same problems.
Passenger window was grinding when going up or down. Finally, it came crashing down while driving this morning. Startled me to a point I could have been distracted enough to lose control.
2004 F150 FX4 5.4L engine. Both of my window regulators went out within 4 months of each other. The truck had around 50,000 miles on it. The windows just "fell" as I was driving down the road.
I was raising the drivers side power window on my 2004 Ford F150 when I heard a loud pop. At first the window stayed in place about 3/4 closed then it dropped down into the door. I took the truck to my local Ford dealer who told me it was the window regulator and he was happy to replace it for $388.32 + tax. I had no choice but to replace it. After I got home and did some research on the internet I learned that this is a common problem on both the 2004 and 2005 models and I can expect the remaining three windows to follow shortly. As common as this problem appears to be I feel Ford should issue a recall on the part.
Have had 2 window regulator failures on one of my Ford trucks and 2 window regulator failures on my other Ford truck that my daughter drives. I am down to 50% working windows and my daughter is at 0%! her last one occurred 2 days ago while she was driving and it scared her so bad, she almost drove off the road! mine happened yesterday! the parts have not been replaced, the windows are being held up with tape which won't hold very long.
I was driving down the road in my 2004 F-150 and the rear drivers side window fell down in to the door. I had a friend with the same year F-150 that had this happen so I call him. He said it would cost me $450 to repair at the Ford place and that is was a faulty window regulator. In addition, he said the mechanic at the Ford dealership told him this was a very common occurrence and he did not know why there had not been a recall. He also said that this would very likely happen to the other windows in the truck and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. I don't understand why there has not been a safety recall for this problem.
Window regulator failure, resulting in the left rear window free falling into door channel. The sound of the window falling and the sudden rush air distracted me and could have resulted in a loss of control. This was the 3rd window regulator failure in 2 years. Cost of the repair was approx. $400.
Rear window regulator on 2004 Ford F150 has failed twice in last month giving a loud pop and the window falling into the door. My wife was driving the truck and nearly had accident both times due to the failure ran truck over curb looking for source of noise first time if she had been in heavy traffic I can guess where this would have gone.
There were no events leading up to the event of failure....this is the second window regulator to just completely break with no warning leaving my window dropping from the complete up position. We were just arriving back to my vehicle from the house and the window just dropped.... the vehicle was not even running at the time.
Ford 2004 supercrew pickup has now had 2 window regulator failures within months apart. Last one was the rear window which has probably not been lowered more than 5 times if that many in the life of the truck.
I have a 2004 Ford F-150. Just yesterday I got into my truck and went to put the window down and heard a pop and the window fell completely down into the door. I went online to research and found out that this is an extremely common problem with the F-150. I would hope that a recall should take place given the amount of claims from F-150 owners.
Power window regulator failure: This is the second power regulator failure on my 2004 F150. First regulator was on front driver window last year. Second regulator failure was last week on passenger window. Repair cost is approx. $450 per failure. I have a crew cab with four window. My research indicates this is a very frequent problem with F150 models 2004 through 2008. These failures can happen at any time. First time was on the highway during winter. My 2 year old was in the back seat and had to endure some very cold wind during our ride home (lucky for us it wasn't raining).
