Description of the problem	Purchased 04 ford f150 fx4 4x4 12/18/04. Since purchase, along with two other new test driven equivalents, noticed excessive wind noise at 40 mph. Best way to describe this is it sounds similar to the heat/cool fan at high (e. G. Setting 4) speed. It is loud and very irretating. For the problem to be resolved, it would be the same as when you turn off the heat/cool fan at high. Note: the heat/cool analogy is for comparison purposes only, it has nothing to do with it. Numerous other 'complaints' have been logged on ford truck enthusiasts web site so i am not alone. It doesn't sound like engine noise, more like wind/air entering the engine and making it's way into the cab somewhere in the front/bottom of the dash is my best guess. It doesn't appear to be a leak in the windshield anywhere, but then again, based on one person on the ford truck enthusiasts thread had the problem fixed at a dealer via a third party auto glass person sealing up the top of the window. The exact solution is sketchy but it's the only resolution i've seen. In fact, that person gave the dealer contact information if one has questions: len - the service managerat at woody sander ford, cincinnati, oh (513)541-5586. I absolute hate wind noise and it is significant and thus a solution to this problem must be made by ford! I'll be doing much more investigation... At this time, i felt it necessary to file a complaint since one does not yet exist. I decided to purchase the vehicle none-the-less figuring the fix cannot be that difficult and i liked the truck outside of that one problem.*ak

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
