2004 FORD F-150 Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 FORD F-150 LARIAT SUPERCREW 4 DOOR TRUCK. EACH OF THE PAST 3 YEARS I'VE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK. TO THE DAY THEY ARE STILL NOT FIXED BECAUSE OF COST ISSUES,ALMOST $200 EACH NOT INCLUDING THE $140 LABOR BILL. WHAT BREAKS IS THE PLASTIC PART THAT THE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO. THE FIRST 2 WINDOW REGULATORS BROKE QUIETLY WHILE THE 3RD ONE MADE 2 LOUD POPS AND THE WINDOW FELL DOWN. IT IS NOW WINTER AND I HOPE THE 4TH AND FINAL WINDOW DOESN'T BREAK. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY ARE SOLD AS A WHOLE UNIT,MOTOR,TRACK AND CABLE. THE MOTORS DON'T GO BAD, THE PLASTIC PIECE IN THE TRACK BREAKS. CURRENTLY I HAVE PLASTIC PVC PIPE PROPPING THE WINDOW UP ON THE 3 WINDOWS. VERY MUCH AN INCONVENIENCE WHEN YOU DRIVE UP TO A DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR WINDOWS GOING TO GIVE OUT. *TR

IN APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER 2009, AS WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2004 FORD F150 SUPER CREW PICKUP TRUCK DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WINDOW IN THE PASSENGER DOOR FELL INTO THE DOOR WITH A SIGNIFICANT CRASH. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO ROLL THE POWER WINDOW BACK UP IT WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME WE HAD TO WRAP PLASTIC WRAP AROUND THE DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT WE HAD AT THE TIME. I WORK 40 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO DRIVE IT WITH THE WINDOW DOWN TO AND FROM WORK IN WINTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE FORD COULD GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE WORKED ON. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CHARGED US OVER $400 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. LATER I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY FAULTY EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. HERE IT IS, WINTER TIME, AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. TODAY AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE THE DRIVER WINDOW CRASHED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. HE DIDN'T TRY TO OPEN IT OR ANYTHING, IT JUST CAME LOOSE ON ITS OWN. THIS TIME HE BELIEVES THAT THE WINDOW HAS BROKEN INSIDE THE DOOR. I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF HARM THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED HIM OR OTHER DRIVERS IF IT HAD SHATTERED BEFORE THE WINDOW MADE IT COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS THE 2ND WINDOW ON THIS TRUCK. THERE ARE 4 DOORS ALL TOGETHER. WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT MAY HAPPEN WHEN THE NEXT WINDOW ASSEMBLY FAILS. *LN

WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP BREAKING ON MY 04 FORD F-150. THIRD WINDOW TO FALL DOWN, THIS ONE DURING A SNOW STORM. *LN

RECALL 2004 FORD F-150 POWER WINDOW REGULATORS. REAR DRIVERS PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE PARKED. THE THIRD WINDOW DOWN IN THE LAST 15 MONTHS. *TR

FORD FX4 WINDOW DROPPED BUT WAS LUCKY IT DIDNOT BREAK HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR. *TR

2004 FORD F150 W/ ADJUSTABLE PEDALS - AFTER A FEW YEARS USE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON, BUT ONLY UNDER EXTREME DECELERATION, HOPEFULLY. THE LIGHTS WILL RESET IF THE BRAKE SWITCH IS UNPLUGGED AND PLUGGED BACK IN WITH VEHICLE RUNNING, BUT THEN WILL CONTINUE TO ACT UNRELIABLY AFTER A FEW DAYS OF USE. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO WORK ALONG WITH THE SWITCH TO REPOSITION THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER FROM OUT OF PARK, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. I VISIT AN OFFICIAL FORD F150 FORUM WITH MANY OTHER MEMBERS THAT SEVERAL OTHERS ARE STARTING TO NOTICE THAT THEIR TRUCKS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. REPLACING THE "BRAKE SWITCH" RECOMMENDED BY FORD DID NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THE FORUM BY MEMBERS WITH 2005 AND 2006 MODELS AS WELL. *TR

THE #3 SPARK PLUG WAS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. UPON INSPECTION, THE THREADS WERE STRIPPED AND DAMAGED BEYOND BELIEF. AFTER TAPPING THE WHOLE, THE PLUG WAS ABLE TO BE REPLACED. A MONTH LATER, THE #7 PLUG DID THE SAME THING BEING EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE. ANOTHER ROUND OF FIXING BUT THIS TIME THE REPAIR WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. THE NEW PLUG DID NOT STAY IN. BOTH OF THE OLD PLUGS ARE IN PIECES WITH MOST OF THE PARTS LOST TO THE ROADWAY BELOW. *TR

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT FORD CAN GET AWAY WITH THESE JUNK REGULATORS ON MY 2004 FORD F150 SUPERCREW !!!!! MY DAUGHTER WAS LOOKING OUT OVER THE REAR WINDOW HOLDING ON TO IT, AND LAUGHING AT ME WHILE I WAS WASHING THE TRUCK WHEN THE [XXX] THING JUST BROKE CAUSING HER TO FALL AND HIT HER FACE OFF THE DOOR PANEL !!! THEN I GO ONLINE AND FIND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS THAT FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT, SO NOW I HAVE TO REPAIR THIS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)*TR
