Description of the problem	My 1 and a half yr old son and i had just pulled up to church. I rolled down the front passenger window to talk to a relative and as i pressed the down button i heard a loud pop. I wasn't sure what the noise was, so i went to quickly roll the window up and check the outside of the truck. As i tried to roll the window up, i realized it was the window that made the pop because the window quickly fell the rest of the way into the truck. As i did not have any other option, my son and i had to drive 15 miles home going 45 miles per hour in the cold february night (i had to bundle him up as best as i could) because there was not another option for us to get home (and the window would not stay up). After research online (and talking to ford dealers) found out it was the window regulator and quite common in 2004 ford f150 lariats. I feel this should definitely be a recall because it could be very dangerous if this happened on the highway going 65 - 70 mph! 09/27/10 (63500 miles) - driving in town the rear driver side window just fell down into the window. No ford dealer in our town we had to drive 45 minutes in the cold of october with a piece of cardboard in the window (that kept moving and causing the window to continuously fall into the truck and having to make many stops along the way). Same issue - window regulator had to be replaced. 04/10/11 (69000 miles) - driving home from church in town the window started to fall into the truck. As this is the third time this has happened, we are 100% sure it is the window regulator! Setting up an appointment with the ford dealer to get it fixed. Researched online, and this has happened to many other 2004 ford f150 lariat truck owners! Again, we are very thankful we were not driving on the highway at 70 mph with our little one in the back in the middle of winter! Very unsafe!

What is Failure?
