Well i replaced the front passanger window mechanism in 2011 in November then the rear window regulator in this January now again the front passanger window unit again in March. All work done by Ford dealers who say they are supprised about this issue.
So much for the ford built to last moto, it looks like they are built to require maximum repair.

My supercab driver's side window fell just not long after the warranty went out 37,000+ miles. Dealer fixed of course at my cost with lame excuses for the cause. The passenger front fell today just as we were pulling into the driveway (our saving grace) without any warning. We were not rolling it up or down. I have plastic covering it now as of course it's supposed to rain today and be windy. After reading the many posts all over the internet, I'm waiting with great anticipation for the back one's to go. I now know that I'll need to bring an extra tarp anytime we want to take a weekend trip or vacation!!!! I love Ford, greatly appreciate they did not take the bail-out - but this obvious flaw is absurd and they should be fixing at no cost but better yet manufacture a part & system for these model years that will last! This is absolutely a safety and security issue and Ford - MAN UP ON THIS ONE!!! My next vehicle will likely not be a Ford and that pains me.
Thanks to all the folks that have posted do it yourself video's and tutorials for this problem. I'll be trying to fix myself as soon as the part comes in.

I was on my way to work when my front passenger side door window dropped. I looked down to see if I had hit the window button somehow and I tried to roll it back up. The window just raddled and didnt roll up. I had to run home and clean everything out and put a bag over the window. I called my local ford dealer and they knew immediately what the problem was. Now looking online I cant wait for all my other windows to do the same. I thought buying American was the way to go but I guess I was wrong! I cant believe Ford is ok with loosing customers that have been so loyal to this American car maker!

This will be the 4th regulator on 3 different windows! I haven't even had the truck a year. There should obviously be a recall as this is a huge design flaw. I've spent $1200 on windows alone now. Gonna sell this pile if it happens again.

I didn't know this was a common problem until I researched the replacement technique. My right rear window on my 2004 F-150 SuperCab failed on Christmas Day as I was driving 100 miles to my Son's house. The window just kept slowly sliding down into the door. I finally wedged it with some booklets from the owner's manual wallet. Found a replacement on Amazon for $85 with free shipping and installed it today. The old one had mis-fed the cable onto the motor pulley. When the cable overlapped and bound the end pulled out of the window lift block. You can see the problem clearly in the attached photos. This is a design flaw.

I have a 2004 F-150, and in 2009 the drivers side window fell and would not roll up. Since then all four windows have done the same thing. This always happens about 10 months apart. The cost is about $450 per window. This is a problem that Ford is not willing to deal with as I have addressed this issue with them. I will not be buying anymore Fords.

My family and I were on our way in to town one HOT day (110'). All the windows up, Air on. Then for no reason at all the drivers side window fell down inside the door. It wouldn't role up, so we had to ride with all the windows down. I have 3 kids in elem. school... It was hell for them and me to listed to how hot n sweaty they were. Its like sitting in front of a blow dryer on high heat n not able to escape it. Now I priced the repair.. $the cheapest I found was $376. Now WTF! I'm already paying for this over priced POS, now I have to invest more $$. So I was even more irate when I found out this is going to happen to all the windows.
So FU*K the ford company... I put a 2X4 under it n called it "GOOD ENOUGH". It is inconvenient yes when at the bank, mailbox or drive through window. But I wil NEVER BUY FORD again! FYI it's not just the truck. My moms ford van also has the same problem. Also my friends Ford taurus.. same thing happend!

Went just over a year with no more window problems, however, I prayed every time I rolled down my passenger rear window for my dog that it wouldn't drop - well, it finally did on January 1, 2012! Came out of a movie and thought I had forgot to roll up my window, but nooooo, it had dropped! Thank goodness no one took anything from my truck. Back to Ford to give them more cash for something they should have recalled. I realize that things go wrong, but this issue is not only a big inconvenience but also a safety issue. Damage to the inside of the vehicle if the window rolls down in the middle of the night and there's storm - how would you know that the inside was getting wet. Or that your vehicle was stolen because someone easily could get into your vehicle because the window was open. Not fair Ford! This should be a recall issue AND, people like me should be compensated in some way for the cost of these repairs! This was the FOURTH of ALL 4 WINDOW regulators to fail. NOT RIGHT!

Now I'm really pissed off! Two weeks after my second window dropped, my driver's side window proceeded to drop while I was driving. No way! Ford just loves taking my money! And I love my F150, but this window issue is ridiculous! My service guy gave me the number to call to complain but I never got to it. This was the THIRD of ALL 4 WINDOW regulators to fail.

This is the 4th window regulator that had to be replaced. Not happy that any of them had to be replaced. If it was an older vehicle, then I could understand, but this is a newer (or was the first time it happened). Ford will not call it as a recall. I think they should. At a cost of around $1400.
That's crap.

Leaving for vacation and suddenly the right passenger window started rolling down. Luckily I was just a few miles before my Ford Dealership exit, and it was on a weekday and they were opened. Warranty had expired and I just thought it was an unlucky event and sucked it up and paid to have it repaired. Had no idea that this was going to be a problem. This was the FIRST of ALL 4 WINDOW regulators to fail.

On Aug 13th, my front passenger window fell, one week later the back passenger window fell both got fixed when i had my TRANSMISSION (at 42,500 miles) replaced last week. Yesterday, the driver side window fell, three days after getting my truck back from the dealer. At approximatly $250-300 per window regulator/labor, this is way out of hand.
I have been a loyal Ford owner for 19 years, and had intended to hold onto this truck for another few years until I upgrade to F-250- but Chevrolet is looking much better these days (i never thought those words would come out of my mouth). Since i am a horse woman, and horse women talk about their trucks - I CAN and WILL do some serious damage to FORD, simply by word-of-mouth.
FORD needs to step up and fix the issue by issuing a recall (and refunding money to those that have had to pay for this out of pocket). The transmission is a whole other issue... more to come. This is ridiculus.

I have had to replace (3) out of the (4) regulators on my 2004 Ford F-150. 2 of them was within a 2 week period. The service rep cracked my window with a set of vice grips during the second regulator and then lied to his manager saying I told him to do it. My window is still chipped.
The dealership charged me $350.00 per window, wow with a family of 4 I really don't have $350.00 just sitting around to fix a window issue that should be corrected by Ford.
I hope enough F-150 owners can get together and put presure on Ford to refund our money. I will not even look at another Ford for my next purchase.
Now my 5.4L sounds like a diesel truck ..... wow this was a great purchase.

all my vehicles are ford.My son used the truck in question to attend college, I received a call from him one night explaining how the drivers window snapped and fell,"yea right" I explained to him and his mother how some boy or girl had most likely hung on the window and broke it, I have never heard of such a crazy story, right, Well guess what the phone conversation was the next night, that's right the passenger side window did the same thing.Now i will be out approximately $600 dollars. I have already replaced both cam gears myself due to factory defect on all 2004 f150 overhead cams, sorry f150 owners if u didn't already know. Wait to u have to change spark plugs, they will ring off and in most cases the heads will have to be removed just get plugs out, This problem became so bad they invented a retrieval tool that works if ur lucky. So as u can see I'm thinking strongly at switching to another auto company. The consumer always gets the shaft. If only 1 car company would put the money where their mouth is the rest of the car companies would have to shut the doors.Take care of ur customers and the bottom line will take care of its self. Like them or not Sam Walton knew this concept well. I rest my case. thanks for listening

This time the passenger door window regulator went out. This failure really pissed me off. I was traveling to Albuquerque, NM from Amarillo, TX going to the funeral of one my very best friends. About 20 miles east of Santa Rosa, NM, the passenger door regulator cable broke and the window hit the bottom of the door. I was amazed the window was still in one piece. when I left Amarillo I had figured my arrival time to where I would arrive at my destination with about 1 hour to spare. Now I had to stop in Santa Rosa and try to find some tools and hopefully find a Ford Dealership that might be open. This was Saturday and no on the dealership after driving around for 30 minutes I purchased some vice grips and some other tools to at least get my window held up in order to hold up the window with the vice grips. By the time this was accomplished I finally pulled up to cemetery where the cervices were held for my friend just as every one was leaving the the funeral. That was one of the most humiliating situations I had every encountered. Having to apologize and explain to family and friends why I couldn't be on time for my best friend's funeral. So Yes, I was and still pissed about the faulty door parts the Ford uses. I haven't had the money or the time to have the regulator and cable repaired this time.

This is the 4th time my regulator cable system has failed on my 2004 F-150 Supercrew! The 1st time was rear passenger window and local Ford dealer fixed under warranty. The next one was the front passenger side. I drove to local dealership to set up repair appointment and as I was pulling out of service area, the front driver side window fell!! UNBELIEVABLE!! The dealer fixed both front windows on that visit---this time on my extended warranty (with a $200 per window fee!). Now today after school my daughter comes in the house and says, "Dad, you left your truck window down." Well, I hadn't lowered any of my windows that I recalled, so went and tried to raise the rear drivers side window. WHAT DO YOU KNOW, the POS just clicked!! I wasn't in the truck to hear it drop so was unaware that it had just fallen into the door (#4 of 4 windows!!).
Since my extended warranty has expired, figured I would do repair myself this time. Didn't realize this was such an issue till I looked up repair on Google and found this site! Since the other three occurred over the last 7 years, I just missed the pattern and kind-of assumed it was just crap that happens...Now I learn from this site that it is a MAJOR issue that Ford will not concern themselves with.
This is my 3rd Ford F-150 and probably my LAST!! I will drive this thing into the dirt and just see what is out there when it comes time for a new one! Thanks to post # 193 at "window fell down into door" on this website and his link to repair info at:

I have had my truck since it was brand new and I have had to replace all 4 window regulators. The part is around $180 bucks and the labor to have it fixed is another $80 bucks. What gives this is ridiculous. I was told by a auto glass guy that these parts go out in these trucks all the time. He also said that Ford window regulators are the worst. Hmm you would think ford would get the hint. I am sick and tired of replacing them but unfortunately I have a feeling this won't be the last one I have replaced. I guess ford doesn't care though. I won't buy one again!

WELL it happened AGAIN. I had ANOTHER window regulator break and ford is still turning a blind eye acting like there is nothing wrong with these. Well When my infant child gets hurt by either broken glass or sunburned (Living in Arizona it only takes 10 minutes to get burned) because of one of these faulty parts ford will have a HUGE lawsuit on their hands AND I will not stop until this issue is resolved. Every one who has had this happen, we need to get together and sign a petition to get this recalled. Its is a potential safety hazard.

Had my fourth window regulator fail in the past 2 years. So as of now, all four window regulators needed to be replaced at a cost of nearly two thousand dollars. Contacted Ford and their local dealership to complain and they offered no relief. After the third regulator broke this past spring, the parts manager joked "be happy, you only have one more to go". One window, I can understand. Two, OK, there may be a problem. But all four? I love my truck, but will never buy a Ford product again. Lousy customer service.

Ford and Chevy and Toyota all have an issue with the plastic parts that work in conjunction with the power windows. My driver window was rolling up and when it reached the top I could hear something break and the window just fell down into the door. I took the truck to the dealer and of course all it takes is lots of money to fix it. I called 'ford- customer no support for you ' and of course they won't admit it's a vast problem. I currently have 3 fords. I've had fords most of my life. I had customer no service put on my complaint that I will not be buying any more Fords. I've also had issues with the rear sliding glass and the motor freezing up. I've fixed that myself by lubricating the cable and hitting the motor with a hammer to un-freeze it. NICE EH!

I purchased my '04 new body F-150 Supercrew in December 2006. Within the first month my front passenger window regulator went out. Two weeks later my left year window regulator went out, both were fixed under extended warranty. I then was stationed in Minnesota upon my return from Iraq in 2008 and my driver window regulator went out. When I dropped it off at the local Ford dealership to get fixed they said both driver and front passenger regulators were out and I had to pay out of pocket at a price tag of $870. So far we are at driver window, left rear window, and front passenger window x2. A year later my right rear passenger window regulator went out and I had to pay for that out of pocket at $330. So now we have five window regulators and roughly $1200. Now in 2011 I am camping and its raining for two days straight and my SIXTH!!! window regulator goes out!?!?!?! WTF. This time its my left rear passenger AGAIN!!!
I am so fed up with this problem. I can understand a vehicle that has close to 100,000 miles losing one or maybe two window motors, but six? two that have been replaced already? At this point it is Ford's responsibility to stand behind their product and behind their name. I have owned four Ford vehicles, My Father has owned seven Fords, my mother three, my brother two, my sister two, and my grandfather nothing but 12 Fords. He even worked for Ford for 40 years, and I have to eat the cost of a sixth window motor? And Detroit wonders why people buy foreign cars. UNSATISFACTORY FORD!

I'm in the middle of attempting to fix myself due to what I have read on the net of $400.00 to $800.00 repair bills from other owners. This is the window of a Lariet Super Crew Cab which has had very limited usage. I was just riding down the interstate when I heard a crunching/crashing sound and looked back to see that my window had fallen all the way down into the door due to the failed regulator. This appears to be a common FORD problem which should have been solved through a recall long ago. I personally believe this is a purposely engineered in defect to provide an additional source of revenue to Ford Dealers, many of which do business in a manner that would make a Mafia Don blush. The dealer is the last place I will go to have repairs done whenever possible. The back power window is of no use as well due it work every once in awhile. So, of course< I do not use it at all because I'm afraid it will stick open. This Lariet is my LAST FORD PRODUCT ! Sad to say, but HONDA HERE I COME

Driving in rain and back right window fell. 2 days later front right window fell. 1 week later back left window feel. Driving in fog 1 month later driver side feel. Almost crashed on major highway. This is not cool. If ford knows about this according to reseach then why isnt it recalled. As of last week after doing research I finally filed a complaint with the better business bearu. Ford called me and said they could not fix the issue. I told them what if something happend and i crashed or got killed then are you responsible. They had no reply.
So i have a pending complaint with DPS and The Attorney General. This is unbelieveable. Justice will serve if everyone comes together and files with the attorney general so dont ever give up if ford says no. They want business then show them you mean business.

Where do I start? It's January in Kansas, someone has pissed off the snow Gods and in retaliation they cast a blizzard upon us. Thats not so bad now is it? Kids off school, school teacher wife at home, plenty of firewood. Me man, me have 4X4 ford truck, me go to work. So off I go thermos in hand. Maybe I should take an extra pair of gloves... no I got a heater in my truck. Good thing Ford knows how to keep raidios working in their trucks, I heard on the way to work its going to get heavier as the day goes on. Thats fine I got a Ford truck. I get to work, grab my tools and head into the job site. The buildings not bad compared to the 0 degree temps outside, its about a nice toasty 35 degrees inside. 8 hours later and about 16 inches of snow later the wind is howling at about 60 mph and its time to go home! I make the tough trek to the truck, unlock it and climb in, the heater will be warm in no time at! WOW, it snowed so hard it filled my back seat up with snow, did I piss off the snow Gods? Upon further investigation It was found that Ford really sucks at making window regulaters that keep your windows rolled up when your in the middle of a blizzard. It was also found that duct tape will not stick in sub zero temps, and that yes my dumb ass should have taken that extra pair of gloves to work, along with ski goggles and other apperel that was needed to drive 45 minutes back home in my snow filled truck. OH THANKS FOR THOSE FOND MEMORIES FORD!

Ford is putting Mickey mouse parts in their trucks, my 2004 F150 truck’s window just decided to roll down on its own, a week later the driver side just decided it would stop about 3/4 way up, then about 5 minutes later it just rolled down. I checked it out on-line; hundreds have done the same, some in the drive in the middle of the night. Ford said there is not a problem, they are Ford tough, Quality was job ONE!!! That means roll your right window up and down approx 100 times the driver side two or three hundred times and you will get to replace them for $325 each. I have a different definition or FORD Tough and Quality.

I experienced the same issues as many others. LOUD POP! then the driver window rolled itself down (while it was parked). It is an obvious issue and I called the Ford Customer service number (1-800-392-3673). The service rep took down all my information and said that a report has now been filed and will be reviewed. But at this time no recall exists. So it looks like I will be spending some money and time on an issue that is at the fault of poor engineering.
I urge anyone else that has this issue to please call and report it (each time it happens). It seems that may be the only way we will ever get a recall!

I had my third window fall into the door yesterday. This time it happened while my wife was at the grocery store. When she came out of the store with here groceries the window was down. The first time it happened while driving down the road in the middle of a rain storm. The second time was on a summer trip to Florida. These windows have been a Hugh pain in the but and I can't believe Ford is not concerned with it. They do not realize or care that they are losing customers.
The dealership wants over 600.00 per window that's 1800.00 passed on to us because Ford decided to use cheap parts. I refuse to pay that much money when I feel ford should put out a recall. Here is what I do to keep the windows up for under $5.00. First, purchase a small inflatable football. Second, remove the door panel and unplug the window from the window switch. Third, raise the window by hand and place the football in the door directly undress the bottom of the window. Fourth, inflate the football where until it becomes tight inside the door. Be careful not to over inflate the football so it doesn't push the door out kinda like a reverse dent. This will save you 595 dollars but you will not be able to roll the window down.
Maybe ford will wise up and put out a recall!!! That's the only way I will ever buy another ford.

This is the third of four windows to fail! The first was under warranty. Ford says I need to have the dealer verify what the problem is. They want 80 bucks for that. Based on the description of what I told the service advisor happened, he said it was the regulators. He also stated it doesn't sound unusual to him. Honestly, 3 of 4 windows failed isn't unusual???? When will the fourth one go? Based on what I've seen just on this site alone there is a problem with something, and they won't own up to it!!!!

Ford Company you need to have a recall on your faulty 2004 F150 pickup trucks with faulty window regulators. I've had all four go out on my truck within the last couple of months. I need your help!!!!!!!

I'm so pissed off that there is not a recall on the 2004 F150 ford window regulators and motors. Last summer my back passenger window went down and had to replace the regulator $278.00, then April 2011 my back driver side window goes down and it was the regulator; have not had it fixed yet due to not having the spare money. So I have it propped up with boards inside the door to keep the window up. In August 2011 the front driver side window went down and I had to replace it $178.00, now today my front passenger side window goes down. So what the heck is causing these to go out all of a sudden? Could there be a faulty fuse or switch on the dang pickup that is causing this? From looking on websites this is not the first, there are plenty of complaints. Now I have two windows that I don't have the money to repair the windows with at this time. Come on Ford, the company that satisfies their customers? Ha! Ha! Get the recall out on this piece of sh*t defective window regulators and help your customers out in getting these fixed.

Yesterday, I'm driving along and suddenly my driver's side window just falls down into the door. The window won't roll back up. My truck is from 2004 but is a secondary vehicle and only has 19900 miles on it.
I checked the internet and found this is a common problem which Ford will not acknowledge. Has anyone had any success with Ford reference this problem? I have the extended cab and I am not looking forward to paying for this three more times!

This is the second regulator I had to replace in the last 2 months. The first was the passenger front, now the passenger rear. I keep my truck parked outside and I use it maybe once a week. I got in it the other day and noticed the window was down and I had not driven the truck in 2 weeks. Of course it rained a couple of days before so I'm sure everything got soaked and dried out by the time I noticed. Come on Ford!!! Step up and recall these defective regulators or else!!

The number of folks having the same problem strongly suggests Ford knows or should know that there is a defective design. eg. a latent defect!

This is the third window that has fallen off the regulator sense 2009. Each one to fix is 450 to 500 dollars. Also there is no security if windows just fall out of the blue.

I have replaced all four of my regulators over the years and now I am replacing the replacement for the 5th time out of my pocket for a grand total of $1500. That's horse sh*t in my opinion. I don't even roll the windows up and down much! At least the replacement parts should fix the problem since I had all of them fixed from the Ford dealership. Think I'll go elsewhere next time I buy.
