Everyone with the Problem needs to file a report with NHTSA, that is the organization that puts pressure on the Automakers to do recalls and these window failures falling into doors is nothing short of a HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! Driving down the highway or in traffic and having your window fall and possibly shatter could cause the driver of the vehicle to be distracted and cause an accident, there are numerous reports here and elsewhere about peoples windows falling and shattering in the door while driving, I Have had 2 window failures so far and the second window fell with such force it set my car alarm off and I was not even driving the vehicle! This is a serious Safety Issue that Ford needs to address and do a recall on........ here is the website to file your complaints, you will need your VIN # for completing the complaint form, Also demand from ford customer care that they replace all of your window regulators with the newest Part # Window Regulator!

Thats right folks, According to the Ford Parts Person I spoke to the other day the window regulator part 3 has changed now 3 times and he stated that Ford NEVER changes the Part # unless there is a physical change to the part and he stated they have had "issues" with these regulators thus the change, he stated that the newest version has been beefed up around the plastic clip that keeps breaking off, hopefully the newest versions have corrected the problem but as you can see just by the fact that Ford has changed the part # 3 times they KNOW about this problem and now they need to fix this safety hazard on all of our windows, I am requesting from Ford that they replace ALL 4 Window Regulators in my vehicle, the 2 that broke and the 2 that eventually will break, my vehicle only has 38,000 miles on it and 50% of the windows should not be inoperable!

Call Ford Customer Care and Demand they FIX this Safety Issue! and File your complaints here with NHTSA! Remember you will need your VIN #

A few weeks back I was going to work and as I approached the Gated access to work and went to roll down my window I accidentally rolled down my rear drivers side window, as I went to roll up this window it made an awful grinding noise and would not roll up again, angry that my warranty has expired and I only had about 37,500 miles on the truck and had only probably rolled down that window 20 times since I bought the vehicle I just figured that it was a fluke and that's how the cookie crumbles, I took the door panel apart and tie wrapped the window in the up position..........now here is the part that made me really mad........I was in my home painting, my truck alarm started going off and I went outside, this is only a week or two after the rear window failure, I approached my truck and saw that my driver side window was down, I expected to find shattered glass from someone trying to break in but nope, the window just collapsed inside the door and set off the alarm, tried to roll it up again and the exact same cable grinding noise as the rear driver side window was making! I could not believe that a truck with less than 38000 miles now has 50% of the windows not working, I had to tie wrap up that window as well until I can figure out what do, I went to ford and the service writer immediately knew what the problem was and quoted me a price nearing $900 to $1000 to fix both windows!!!!!!!!!!! FORD should step up and pay for these window malfunctions, this is just plain ridiculous, I am scared to roll down the other windows in the truck now! and a truck with as little miles and as little wear on those windows should not be failing this early, I fully understand normal wear and tear but this is ridiculous, I am very angry and will be calling ford and anyone else who will listen to get ford to pay for this, I should not have to shell out $1000 for window repairs on a truck that is barely broken in!

Ford Truck, built Ford Tough...hmmm...driving down a road, 25 miles and hour, loud bang, thought someone fired a gun, or hit my door...all of a sudden, window drops quietly and slowly down into the door.

I have had the truck parked in my driveway with plastic sheeting over the window to keep out the rain till I figure out how to take the door apart and fix this. Yesterday, my friend said, just get a pair of pliers and cover them with duct tape (that's a man thing) and use that to pull the window up far enough to get a grip, then use your hands to pull it up the rest of the way. It worked. Window is up...scared to put the key in and see if it will move up and down again, I am pretty sure the window regulator needs to be replace with the loud bang.

So, waiting for a sunny day to remove the door panel, I priced the part, $37. Can't be that difficult to fix.

This is the third window that has fallen into the door and will not roll up. Previous repairs have been around $150-250. Cheap parts. Not built to last. I emailed Ford with my lengthy complaint and I received a general reply from them thanking me for my interest in their vehicles. Most people who buy Ford trucks are hard working people with families that deserve a dependable vehicle. It would be nice if our own American made trucks would be worth purchasing. On each of the three occurrences that the window fell down, we had our babies in the vehicle. One time it was raining, one time it was almost 100 degrees out, and just yesterday it happened again. GRRRR.

I bought a mustang and my wife picked up a 2004 F-150 the same day from the same dealer. the very next day, I rolled the driver's side window down in the F-150 and it would not roll back up. The dealer did us right on that one probably because they just made a small fortune on us, but they fixed it at no charge. 6 weeks later both the front and the back on the passenger side went out in the same freaking day. The back window was down when we came home and when we got in the truck and tried to use the switches...the front went down. Took it to the dealer and since it was 2 windows they gave us a deal. We paid and everything is fine RIGHT. Hell no. About 2 months later my wife is driving alone and the driver's side rear falls about half way down. Why only half I don't know, because the others fell all the way. We are batting a 1.000 now all 4 have crapped out. I don't want the dealer to fix it because they are just going to put the same crappy OEM part back in it. We need Ford to make it right.

Driving down 5 from Sacramento back home week before my brother came out to visit and out of nowhere the window drops straight down (I had the a/c on as it was over 100 that day). Didn't think much about it maybe just the motor or something slipped and would be an easy fix. NOT the CASE!!! The next day got with my mechanic and tore apart the door and to our surprise found a RATS NEST cable TWISTED and GNARLED around a POS plastic pulley that was TRASHED. NICE, so here I am 4 months later door panel still off and window is being held up by a stick and the passenger has to be let out of the vehicle everytime. I have looked into getting the part for the repair but haven't decided if I want to just yet. Especially seeing now that I am not the only one out there. FORD needs to be a big boy step up to the plate and put out a recall on this!! What is really terrible about this is that it is a safety factor. I could only imagine my son, daughter, wife, or dog sitting there next to the window and the window shattering blowing glass on them or my dog falling out the window. Would FORD step up and cover something like that? Probabbly not which is why the world is full of attorneys. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND GET FIX THIS RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!

Only question I have thought of and maybe the thousand other F-150 owners may or may not have thought of this. Is there an alternative manufacturer such as Chevy, Toyota or other out there that has a similar part that will fit to make it work where the problem doesnt continue to happen???? Just a thought.

Come on FORD stand behind your AMERICANS who continue to buy the FORD TOUGH TRUCKS - or is FORD going to hide and not show face on this???? This is America good ole USA where is our support the AMERICAN customers of FORD???

Looks like I can join the group of window failures. I had no idea this was Ford epidemic, and they need to step up. I was driving down the driveway on Thanksgiving day when I noticed the window was down. I tried to put it back up, but no go. The window has hardly been used! Just another on the list, though. I just had to have the sunroof replaced at a cost of over $1000 due to broken slides. Ford stated it was wear due to use, but I have been out of country almost every summer since I bought the truck, and it hardly got used! anyway- let me know if there is a class action, I'm in.....

Ford really needs to take ownership of their Window Regulators...not only is this the third regulator i've replaced in my 2004 f150.....i've also replaced 2 window regulators in my 05 Lincoln ls for my wife. And 4 regulators in my mothers 2002 ford crown vic. It seems fords window regulator problems are not "car specific" but are "cheaply built" and expensive to purchase for consumers.....I've also have a Toyota Camry for my daughter - 1999 model....never had to replace a regulator there and she "rolls" the windows up and down much more than I do. Come on FORD!!! - no wonder your loosing the battle

I'm joining the broken power window regulator club and I'm furious. I drove into work, rolled down my window to swipe my parking pass for the garage and the window would not roll back up. Nice time of year to have to park in a mall parking lot with a broken window. I have also been a die hard Ford Truck fan for more than 20 years. Called the dealership and asked for a quote to fix the regulator. They only had one computer working and the guy said he would call me back in 15 minutes when he could get on the computer. Well 2 hours later I called him back (no apology for not calling me back) and he gave me a quote of $180.00 plus labor. The truck has 42000 miles on it. I wouldn't expect to have to replace this mechanism at this mileage. I attempted to find the part online and fix it myself. I could not find the regulator other than the factory. I saw a beautiful Nissan Titan yesterday in the grocery store parking lot. I talked to the owner for about 20 minutes and he is very happy with it. The Titan looks very attractive to me right now. And I don't have to feel guilty about it because Nissan has factories right here in the USA employing American workers. Well, I just wanted to add to the list just so it is known that this window problem isn't a rare occurrence.

So Im drving home a week and a half ago from being at work for 48 hours and I hear the thud! Oh its the passenger window and it is fallen and cannot be put up. So I call around looking for a better price then about $400 at the dealership and guess what happened today on my way home??? Yes it happened the rear passenger window fell. HA! So know its almost Christmas both windows are broke and guess what we are going to do...BAIL OUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY! Thats what we need to do is bail out the auto industry that sticks it to us all the time. So I called the number that was posted and got a nice lady on the phone who didn't really care about my problems so i wasted my breath and let her know the problems. I have been researching the window regulator to purchase and it appears that you cannot buy just the regulator by itself, you have to get the motor on it to. Which brings the cost to $190...Let us know about the law suit..thanks for listing...

Second time for this problem was yesterday while the wife was driving to work. I listen to weather report "heavy rain" great. Take my day off to pick up her truck then drive 30mi to the dealer with a good service manager. Got to wait for 21/2 hrs then got to drive home in heavy rain and Los Angeles traffic. Cost out of pocket $50 due to extended warranty but does not cover my 5 hours plus fuel and nice drive of 110 mi round trip. Service Manager told me outside vendor made these cheap POS's. Ford needs to step up and fix at no cost.
