| Description of the problem | I had 3 window regulators just quit causing the glass to just drop in my 2004 ford 150 lariat. My warranty was 23 days over and the ford call center as well as corporate offices, (313-845-6173,313-845-5761, 313-845-5831) flat out told me it was my problem there were no more warranties. I paid to repair 2 of the window regulators and ford did assist with the second on 80% of repair. But i have owned 5 ford trucks and the only issues we have had is with the f150. I have searched the internet for the past 5 days and i am not the only one, there are hundreds of complaints about the 2004 ford lariat f150 series truck windows. You could be driving and your window just drops out into the panel. Its not safe. My husband's coworker ,said his wife was driving there f150 on the freeway with their son in the back and the window dropped and she thought it was a driveby cause the window was gone and there was loud bang noise or thump. This is not safe. |
