Description of the problem	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. The failure also soaked the interior of the truck and many items in the front seat. I had to continue driving in the rain for several miles to a gas station for a plastic bag because the door panel had to be removed to get the window back up. The rt rear was next followed by the lt rear windows. Each window failed with a loud bank and slid into the door while attempting to roll down the window. All 3 windows are being held in the up position by wedging screw drivers between the door and window. 3 windows in less than 2 weeks! The estimated cost for repair is 1500 dollars which i cannot afford. This poses not only a safety issue but also a security issue. Judging from the frequency of complaints on these window assemblies, ford needs to take responsibility for replacing, through a recall, these faulty window assemblies.
