Was drivng on the freeway when the driver's side window just fell down into the door. The truck only had 30,000 miles. Service rep at the dealer said they see it all the time on these trucks and I was "lucky because another customer had it happen at 11,000 miles." This week, with just over 34,000 miles the passenger side window did the same thing. A different service rep at my local dealer told me they see it a lot. After reading all these complaints about the broken regulator it seems I can look forward to the rest of the windows doing the same thing. Both windows weren't covered because even though my mileage is low my warranty had already expired.

Ford told me there is nothing they can do about it since there is no active recall on my vehicle. There is obviously a serious defect but Ford is putting it on the customer instead of taking responsibility for their faulty product. I have owned Fords for most of my life but will never purchase another one. They were happy to take my money every time I bought one of their vehicles but won't stand behind their product. Terrible business decision as they're obviously losing a lot of customers. A recall is a no brainer but I guess they'd rather lose customers rather than covering the repairs for their defective product.

getting to leave work after a long day . get into my beloved ford pickemup start it - air on - window down a small amount--ooopps window goes bye bye --all the way down - dam - what happened ? get home find out how to take door panel off - major pain- find out a piece of plastic that the window rides on broke -plastic did i say plastic yes some someone thought that would work well i guess -- not--- so i have the window up - held with visegrips put the panel back on next move estimate -- fords going to beat me up on this one - i just spent $378.52 on a sparkplug change - remember the good ol days of changen your own plugs? sooo pissedoff now maybe a chevy next time

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!

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.

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!
