The power window regulator on my 2004 F-150 truck failed while driving. Very disheartening to find out that this is a common occurrence, an expensive repair and yet neither Ford or the NHTSA has done anything to fix the problem.
I own a Ford F-150 2004 4X4 four door lariat model truck. I have had to replace three of the four window regulators at a cost in excess of $300 each. When I inquired Ford about the problem tn the service manager told me this was a common problem on all F-150 models manufactured from the mid 1990's on. They also went on to say that the part couldn't be warranted for more than a year and that the replacement had not better chance of long life then did the others. This is no doubt a design/manufacturing defect which should be corrected before someone is hurt or killed. I know Ford, like many other american firms, is having a rough time with this economy but there is no excuse for this flagrant disregard of their responsibility to Ford customers.
No events leading to failure passenger side window regulator went out, causing the entire window to drop to the bottom of the door. Vehicle unsafe, child may fall out of window, ect. Window regulator must be replaced. Occurs often.
On April 6,2010 driving and went to open driver side window heard a loud pop window dropped down. Took to repair shop where mechanic found mechanism was faulty ie cable broke. Replaced the mechanism for $292. On April 7, 2010 at 3pm my daughter went to roll her down again a pop and the window dropped. I am taking truck to mechanic tomorrow to have fixed. I assume it will be another $292. I only have 48,000 miles on my truck and will keep faulty parts.
I was driving on the highway when I heard a noise like when you have one window down but I was driving alone and so I know I didn't roll down a window and when I looked back, the passenger side rear window was falling down into the door. I tried pushing the power window button to try to get it to close but had no luck, just a rumbling noise. I was very upset because this is the 2nd time in less than a year that this has happened to my 2004 Ford F-150 truck. It is very expensive to repair and I think Ford should issue a recall since I know at least 2 other people that this has happened to.

On Saturday, 3/6/10 my third window regulator went out on my Ford F150 XLT quad cab. I purchased the truck in August of 2008 and I have replaced 2 regulators so far. This seems to be an issue with this truck, there are many of the same complaints that I have found on the internet. I contacted wittmeier Ford when the first one went out and was told that the window regulator was not covered under the warranty. The second window regulator went out in November 2009 and I had it fixed then. This is now the third regulator that went out, I went to wittmeier Ford today and was told that they would not be covering this window either.

I was driving on the road when I heard this loud bang noise like if a rock had hit my rear left window and then my window came rolling down slowly. I went into the dealership and they estimated a total cost of $300 dollars. One year before I had the regulator replaced on my drivers side but at that time I was within the extended warranty and only paid $100 deductible. Regulators seem to be a defect of F150 and something needs to be done.
