| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 f-150 fx4 that has 6 power windows, including the backslider and sun-roof. I purchased this vehicle in dec. Of 04. When the truck was at 35000 the driver window fell into the door, i live in the hottest city in az. The dealer was happy to fix the problem, but the parts were on back order, because this is a common problem for this year truck. That is what the dealer told me! The solution mean while, a pair of visegrips on the window frame rail, that actually work great even though i had to do it myself. They did fix the window under warranty, but a week later the passenger window hit the floor too. Luckily still under warranty, but while taking the truck in for the passenger window the backslider quit working so they fixed it as well. 3 down 2 to go! Two weeks later the driver rear window makes a popping sound and went into the door. #4 and would you guess 14 miles out of warranty, $388 later window is fine. One week to the day driving to phoenix az. A slight bite cooler then we are, the passenger rear window popped and slowly went down. After an hour in a wal-mart parking lot i got the window clamped up. The dealer told me to wait for a recall and i will be paid for the two windows at $388 a pop. I was also told that it is a design change to the regulator in the window. A plastic clip is used on the cable that pulls the window up/down. My other question is do they replace the regulator with the same type and if so when will it break again. *nm |
