This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Ford F150. The contact stated that the two rear windows and the driver side windows all fell down into the door frame. The dealer stated that the regulator failed. The contact went to two different dealers and each one repaired one window at the contact's expense. The dealers stated that they would reimburse her, but the contact has not yet received any compensation. The dealers further stated that they would not pay for the third window at all, although the contact believes this is their responsibility. There are no recalls on these windows. The failure mileage was 58,000.
I went to put up the passenger side rear window, heard a snap, then the window sank into the door. This is a safety issue, both potentially for theft and for injury. I am no longer covered under warranty, for this issue. There are many Ford F150 owners experiencing the same issue, on multiple windows and is an ongoing issue. I am having the window regulator replaced at significant expense. I've owned vehicles 10 years and never had this problem, and yes, they were Ford too.
Failure of passenger, rear left, rear right windows while driving on the freeway. At different times. Took it to dealer for repair. Cost about $416 each time.
In April 2008 the right rear window fell due to a broken regulator and just today the driver window did the same. Two months from each other is not right two years maybe but not too months. I would like something done immediately.
Three incidents with the power windows have occurred in the past two years. Windows have fallen and won't roll back up. The regulators seems to keep breaking with normal operation. The first one to go was the rear driverside door, then 6 months later, the front drivers side door, then 4 months later the front passengers side door.
