I had rolled my window down after coming home from work at 4am so that i could fold in the mirror to be able to park under our carport. When i tried to roll it back up i heard a loud bang and then the window was suddenly gone. It had fallen inside the door. Of course it had to happen at 4am Sunday morning on a holiday weekend and i don't know how to fix it and i cannot take it to Ford to have it fixed until Tuesday. I can't wait to see how bad they try to screw me over on the cost of this one. After reading all of the other complaints with the same problem i do not feel very good about this situation at all.

well here we go! Back in June of this year my drivers side power window decided to fall down into the door and because of Fords expert engineers I had to purchase the whole inside assy to fix the power window. Well August 29 the drivers side decided to do the very same thing. So I guess that will be another $330.00 to fix. I am really upset with Ford. I was a loyal Ford truck fan also. I have purchase the last 5 trucks from Ford but if they don't take care of this problem I am switching to Toyota. One other little thing, the hodd around the head light is rusting though also. If you have one of these truck be prepared to fix the windows every now and then. This was Motor trends truck of the year too. Blaw!!!!!!

I wrote this letter in part to Ford Motor Company. If you want them to hear your complaint cut and past this address below. I hope it will do you good.

To the Corporate Monkeys at Ford:

I dislike cursing and hearing vulgar language with over 120,000 words in the English language. To curse is a feeble attempt at a punning mind to express one self forcefully. But sometimes just the opposite is true so listen up you mother f*rs. You have failed miserably your loyal customers with the 2004 Ford 150 window assembly. I was put in the care of my father�s truck with 20,811 miles while he was out of state, it was not driven and this truck was put in storage, then when he comes back and gets in his truck both windows fall into the door within 5 seconds of each other. I get accuses of destroying his vehicle and loose his trust, I'm a 44 years old (like I deserve this.)

I end up loosing a day of work; take the door panels off, windows out, the widow assembly�s off, drive 80miles to dealership (roundtrip). Pay $105.00 for the passenger side and (your fed up price of 33% more for the drivers side $154.00). It�s now back together but it gets better. All of this because of a 5 cent piece of plastic clamp that you refuse to change to a metal piece or sale by itself and make the cable hole bigger thru the clamp. Tell me? for what reason did I need to purchase a new motor and gearing assembly when just removing 3 screws I could of reused it. Oh yea what a fix you came up with. So f*** you, and your mother, and especially your company. FORD

NOTE: If your not great with tools do NOT Replace this yourself. But know this FORD will Charge you 1.5 Book hours for this repair. BUT it will only take 15 to 20 min. I learned something today. I always owned a Ford since 1981 and still have one, but NEVER AGAIN.

With all this I'm hearing about multiple windows just "sliding down", it actually makes me feel a little grateful that I'm just on my first window. Maybe by the time I'm on my 2nd or 3rd, Ford will man up and do something about it or maybe they'll just go bankrupt and let Toyota and Honda take over the whole planet. I look like an idiot rolling down the street with my driver side window down not to mention the big inconvenience. I can put up with a leak that comes through my roof area where by back window was not sealed correctly and still not act like a big baby but this takes the cake. I'm real disappointed with Ford right now especially when I see my black plastic exterior pieces on my Sport Side have almost faded to white (must be global warming huh?). I've always enjoyed Ford but in this case - FORD - Furious Over Ridiculous Design - Sums it up for me! I've boycotted McDonald's, Tyson chicken, and Ford's next if they don't watch it.

Driver's door window dropped down when truck was being parked at work. Window wasn't even being used on drive to work. Read the first 10 of the 109 complaints logged on about SAME problem. Called Bartow Ford and they said to save receipts for repairs...IN CASE there is ever a recall on it. So, I googled any CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS to see if anyone can get a recall started or a class action suit started. Found one in Ft Myers & left email info, waiting to hear back from them. They are: Associates and Bruce Scheiner, if anyone is interested in emailing them too (the more the merrier). I also included www.carcomplaints.com in my email, so they can see for themselves how many people are having issues...and told them that so far the 2004's have 109 complaints (at this time). SOME attorney somewhere should jump on the chance to go after a major car company. We DO love our Fords but not the service. Let's see what we can shake up other owners!! This problem is rough. We have the window propped up with a piece of PVC pipe and 2 towels. Can't figure out how to fix ourselves. Took 2 people to get the window back up from inside the door. We need to get this problem brought out into the consumer world, not just the truck owners!!!

Well, I just left a complaint on here a few weeks ago about window number 3 falling, still haven't gotten that one fixed and today window number 4 fell. Lovely! That now makes a perfect 100% of my windows that have fallen. I came home and printed every single problem listed here regarding the windows falling....47 pages worth..and took it to the ford dealership. They weren't interested. They said it's too much of a pain to up-channel these problems to Ford and the only way they would have a recall is if enough people called and complained. I got the number from them..1-800-392-FORD....and called. But after navigating through their system I got a message that said their customer service is closed due to the tropical storm. I love Ford. This is sooooo much fun.

Well, add me to the list for this defective part. My truck is now 4 years old and has only 19,000 miles on it (but outside of Fords crappy 3/36000 factory warranty). I keep this truck in my garage and really baby it (not the low miles). Now of course, I wish I had driven it the full 36000 miles before the warranty expired. I called my local Ford dealer and got a quote of $365 to fix the part. The service rep was VERY familiar with the problem. I was pretty upset that this part would fail so early in the trucks life so I called Ford to see if they would help cover the cost of fixing this since my miles were so low. They took about 5 days to think about it and then called me back and said, 'no way'. So I told them that I thought is was pretty short sighted for them not to stand by their product in light of the low miles on it and the cost of driving away a customer for life. They could care less. I guess my next truck will be a Toyota Tundra. Ford Quality is a joke!

This happened while my wife was driving the truck--rolled window down and when attempting to roll it back up, it just slipped down inside the door. Pushing the up-down button just emits a whining noise - I'd love to try and fix it myself, but am not sure if I'd be successful and don't exactly know how to disassemble the door panel to do it. It really makes it bad, because we can't park the truck at the store for fear someone will burglarize it. Can't park it outside, because it might rain or some cat will get in there and urinate. Really annoying. I'm trying to dig myself out of credit card debt, and have been making progress for two years, but I don't have $300 or $400 to put toward this problem right now.

Well this is the 4th window to drop. I was out of town in Mexicali and like all the others I rolled down the window a bit and it started falling. Luckily my cousin held the window up, because its was 118 degrees outside. I taped the window to hold it up. My brother also has an 04 F-150 his window also dropped. We both don't have the money right now to fix the problem. And from seeing how much it cost to repair, I think this window will be out of service until I trade this crap in. hopeful Ford will recall this problem, but from reading all these blogs seems like they are not willing to work with anyone. "BUILT FORD TUFF" MY ASS!!

Well, yesterday I parked my truck at my house with the windows rolled up half ways. Later that day, we got in the truck and the first thing I wanted to do, was to roll up the window to turn on the a/c 'cause it was so humid and hot outside. Well, as soon as I pushed the up button, a loud noise was heard and then a crushing sound. It was the window that never came back up. Immediately thought it was the window motor and every time we pressed the up/down button, we heard the crushing sound.

It was getting dark, so we had to leave the truck parked outside with the window down all night. The next morning, my husband investigated what was going on with this window. We searched the problem in the internet and were surprised as to how many people had the same problem. We printed out instructions on how to remove the door panel to see if the window motor or regulator were the problem; as that is, what seemed to be wrong with everyone owing a '04 F-150. Well, the first thing my husband noticed was that the cables were all jammed and the pulley was much damaged. We want to fix it ourselves since it is expensive to get it done at the dealership.

Now, I'm very frustrated since this is the vehicle we rely on for road trips and almost everything else. We live across the border to Mexico and it's not safe to even park a truck with the windows up, so having a window break or just fall down is a big NO, NO! How am I supposed to feel comfortable after reading that many people have all windows come down/break and that the problem continues even after the window has been fixed (with a new window regulator and motor)? It is ridiculous and do hope that these problems are investigated and recalled. It is obviously a factory/manufacturer's problem, should not be ours! >:(

Well i really think ford need to do a recall on this and get something done and take care of there customers. they built tough but i believe built wrong describes this more then anything. also there are no retainers on the cable system in door and they have scratched and left marks on the windows from times of windows working. So maybe ford will come through and do the right thing otherwise we just suffer without the conveniences and die of heat or get soaked by the rain and snow or the bill. help me out here please. also does anyone know where to get the picture of manual of assembly of cables motors and regulators to look into myself thanks guys :) rayprice3381@hotmail.com looking for help and info :)
