2004 FORD F-150 Complaints

I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT LETTING MY CAR COOL DOWN BEFORE I ROLLED UP THE WINDOWS AND ONCE I PROCEEDED TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW IT MADE A LOUD THUMP/POP NOISE AND THE WINDOW FELL BETWEEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORWAY. I HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC FIX IT ON 6/30 AND RIGHT AFTER LEAVING HIS SHOP, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A LOUD NOISE COME FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE (AND ALMOST WRECKED INTO A PARKED CAR DUE TO THE NOISE!) AND STOPPED TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED. I TRIED THE WINDOW AND IT SLAMMED RIGHT BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. NOW TWO WINDOWS AND $800.00 LATER I HAVE THEM FIXED DUE TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR GOING OUT IN EACH ONE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS I CALLED FORD AND THEY WOULD DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. PLEASE RECALL THIS AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *JS

IS ANYBODY DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE FORD WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEM. OVER THE YEARS ALL OF MY SONS WINDOWS HAVE ALL FALLEN DOWN. AT TIMES LEAVING THE KIDS WITH EXPOSURE TO WHOEVER PASSES BY...THIS IS NOT SAFE. TWO WINDOWS FAILED ON THE SAME DAY. TRIED TO CALL FORD AND GOT NO REASONABLE RESPONSE... *JS

THE WINDOW/MOTOR REGULATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED IN BOTH MY DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON HIGHWAYS OR TOLL ROADS WHEN THE WINDOWS FELL IN THE DOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. AFTER SEARCHING FOR REMEDIES ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. WHY HASN'T FORD OFFERED A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE. WHEN MY DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW FELL I WAS DOING 50 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
