2004 FORD F-150 Complaints

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW, THIS IS THE FORTH TIME I HAVE TO HAVE WINDOW REPAIR ON MY TRUCK, PREVIOUS TIME BEFORE LAST ONE, WAS IN JULY ONLY 4 MONTHS AGO I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR WINDOW, AND NOW LAST TIME PAID $425 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THAT VERY SAME WINDOW AND THIS TIME IS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. WINDOW WILL MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND DROP, UNABLE TO BRING IT UP OR CLOSED AGAIN. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET UP TO SPEED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND THE APPROACHING VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME BY PULLING INTO THE PASSING LANE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND A CORRODED FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HESITATION. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, HE CATEGORIZED THE PROBLEM AS DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE MODULE IS MOUNTED IN A AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO CORROSION. THIS IS A RELATIVELY EASY FIX HOWEVER IN MY CASE THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER HAD TO CUT OFF TO ACCESS THE MODULE. *TR

THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED GOT IT GOING LASTED 3 WEEKS NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS IN THE SHOP AND THE CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT THE ENGINE IS A LEMON I CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND ALOT OF MONEY I DON'T HAVE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WINDOW JUST FALLS DOWN. WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE. ALREADY REPLACED BOTH REAR WINDOW MOTORS. HAVE READ ON LINE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FORD MOTOR CO. HAS NO PLANS TO ISSUE RECALL OR ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY A LOUD BANG AND THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FALLS INTO THE DOOR AND WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR THREE MONTHS AGO WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS AND THE WINDOWS FALL INSIDE THE DOOR. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F150 WINDOW REGULATORS. FORD IS CHARGING BETWEEN $250 - $500 TO FIX THE REGULATORS PER WINDOW. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO FIX THE SAME WINDOW MORE THAN ONCE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED. ONE OWNER VEHICLE. FORD WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A NOISE WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK BRACKET FAILED AND CAUSED THE FUEL TANK TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK WAS BEING DRAGGED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 11/13/12 *CN

TURNING OUT OF A PARKING LOT DURING ACCELERATION THE TRUCK BEGAN TO "JUMP" AND RIDE ROUGH LIKE DRIVING OVER A "WASHBOARD". AFTER STOPPING AND CHECKING IT OUT NOTHING WAS SEEN. HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID THE REAR DIFF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO NOW I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE WINDOW JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW JUST FALLING! TWO DAYS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THE WINDOWS GOING DOWN WHEN YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT IS SCARY. THESE WINDOWS UNEXPECTEDLY GOING DOWN CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THESE WINDOW SYSTEMS. I HAVE BOTH ORIGINAL FORD PARTS THAT CAME OUT OF THE DOOR PANELS. I CALLED FORD, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
