2004 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE WINDOW STARTED MAKING NOISE WHILE ROLLING UP AND DOWN AND SEEMED LIKE IT WAS COMING OFF THE TRACK.. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE WINDOW FELL COMPLETELY IN THE DOOR. WE REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND SEEMS TO WORK FINE, UNTIL 3 MONTHS LATER ANOTHER WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THE SAME PART ON MY TRUCK WHEN THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTS IN THE PARTS. I SEE MANY OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THINK THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! GOD FORBID THE WINDOW SHATTER WHILE MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE TRUCK. *TR

BUT AFTER LOOKING AROUND, I FIND THAT MY WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE "AGAIN"!! THIS IS THE THIRD WINDOW THAT HAS DONE THIS!!

I OWN A 2004 FORD F-150 TRUCK. 3 WEEKS AGO, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #11S18 FROM FORD MOTOR CO,EXPLAINING THAT A DEFECT WITH THE WIRING HARNESS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG TO SPONTANEOUS INFLATE WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER, SHEEHY FORD OF WARRENTON, VA. TO SCHEDULE SERVICE TO ADDRESS THE HAZARD, BUT THEY SAID FORD "HAD UNDERESTIMATED DEMAND ON THE RECALL" AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE "THE NECCESSARY PARTS" TO FIX MY VEHICLE, AND TO CALL BACK "IN A COUPLE OF DAYS." THAT'S BEEN THEIR RESPONSE NOW FOR 3 WEEKS. THE LETTER FROM FORD STRESSES THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF MY VEHICLE'S DEFECT, BUT THE DEALER IS SUGGESTING FORD SENT OUT LETTERS AND ALERTED PEOPLE TO THE PROBLEM WITHOUT PRODUCING ENOUGH REPLACEMENT PARTS TO FIX IT. THE SITUATION IS NOT BEING HANDLED PROPERLY. 3 WEEKS AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER, MY DEALER HAS YET TO ACT, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR
