DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE IN 2004 FORD F150 XLT WITH APPROX. 70K MILES AND INADVERTENTLY LOWERED REAR WINDOW. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE WINDOW, I HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND REALIZED THAT THE WINDOW WAS NOT GOING BACK UP. AFTER PULLING OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT WHAT HAD OCCURRED, I SAW THAT MY REAR WINDOW HAD DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING THAT DAY OR I WOULD HAVE HAD A BACK SEAT FULL OF WATER. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT FORD'S POWER WINDOW BRACKET REGULATOR, WHICH WAS CRACKED, IS ONE PIECE AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT BY TAKING APART THE DOOR. $275 WAS SPENT TO FIX THE REAR WINDOW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FORD'S WINDOWS. RIGHT NOW I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT IT HAS ONLY HAPPEN TO ONE WINDOW, BUT I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SOON TO ANOTHER WINDOW SINCE IT APPEARS OTHERS HAVE HAD TWO OR THREE WINDOWS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 91 IN MASS. DOING 65 MILES PER HOUR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION AND WITH NO WARNING MY REAR RIGHT WHEEL JUST SNAPPED OFF. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND KEEP IT FROM ROLLING OVER OR CREATING A PILE UP OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I HAD GOTTEN OUT TO LOOK I FOUND THAT ALL 5 LUGS WERE SNAPPED OFF AND BROKEN. THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THESE BOLTS. MY FEAR IS THAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY GET KILLED. NOW I AM IN A PROCESS OF TRYING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND EVERYONE INCLUDING FORD IS PASSING THE BLAME ON SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE HELP ME. *NM

WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE COMPONENT WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

I WILL BE BRINGING THE AUTO IN TO THE DEALER AGAIN IN TWO DAYS FOR THE SAME REPAIR. I SEE THAT FORD MOTORS HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM PUBLICLY SINCE OCT. 01, 2004. *NM
