2004 Ford F-150 Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“I was driving when I heard a loud pop! At that point my driver side window rolled down and couldn't be rolled back up. Ford said they would look at it for 200.00 and that was just to look at it. I tore into it myself and found the window regulator to be broken. Ford wants to charge me 198.00 for the whole assembly. This I believe to be rediculous. Also my passenger side window does not want to role up with the passenger side control so that is inopporative. One more thing my cruise control doesn't work half of the time. …”

“2004 F-150 crew cab 4-door, 77,000 miles. In the last 2 weeks, starting october 20, 2008, I have had 3 windows fall into the doors of my truck. Windows effected are the rf, rr and lr. The first was the rt front passenger window which fell in the door while traveling on the interstate at 70 MPH, at night and during a heavy rain. When I attempted to crack the window for air circulation, I heard a loud bang and the window fell all the way into the door causing me to swerve and nearly miss a vehicle in the next lane. …”

“Second window drive failure in 6 weeks. Very loud bang from door (sounds like truck is hit by large rock/hard object) which is very startling, then window glass slides down into door. On the freeway this is extremely distracting and dangerous. The first window failure (one month ago) cost me $430.00 at Ford dealer to repair. I was never informed that this was a frequent problem. After second failure in 4 weeks, I went on the web and discovered that this is happening to thousands of 2004-2005 F-150's, and Ford refuses to address it! …”

“My Ford f150 2004 power window regulator broke while I was driving. Not only did it scare me because of slamming down so hard, it made me swerve off the road. Thank god I got safely over, but was so shaken I had to wait before proceeding. It was l09 degrees that day and had to drive with the window broken and down. I know many people have had this problem with this model and year, why haven't you done anything about this. It is a safety issue that needs to be addressed to all consumers who own or going to own this auto. I can't afford to fix it now, they want nearly 400.00. …”

“I have a 2004 F-150 4x4 4 door. The rear driver door does not open from the inside when unlocked from the inside door lock. It has power locks. Sometimes if you open the door in one swift motion it will open. It will however open halfway, but then stops and you can't get out. I have informed the dealer when it was in on a window problem and they said it would not do it to them, but they made note. Now it won't open if unlocked from the inside, but I have found that if you unlock it with the key pad the door opens most of the time. …”
