THE HEADLINER IS COMING DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER. IT WILL EVENTUALLY DROP ENOUGH TO BLOCK THE DRIVERS VIEW. IT WAS A SMALL AMOUNT AS 1ST AND KNOW IT'S ABOUT 2 1/2" DOWN ON BOTH SIDES. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 34K ON IT AND IS GARAGE KEEP MOST OF THE TIME. DEALER WILL ONLY ASSIST MAKING ME PAY 1/3 OF THE COST TO REPLACE IT. THIS IN MY OPTION IT A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND WORKMEN SHIP. I THINK IS SHOULD BE A FIX BY FORD AND DEALER NOT THE CUSTOMER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR WINDOW EXPLODING AFTER USING DEFROST. AFTER TURNING ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND FOUND THAT THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. AFTER READING MULTIPLE INSTANES ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING, I BELEIVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WANTS TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IF A CHILD WAS SEATED IN THE SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THERE WOULD BE PIECES OF GLASS ALL OVER THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE FLASHED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, DOWN HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAIL AND A COUPLE MORE CODES. ALL ELECTONICS IN VEHICLE WENT BLANK, INCLUDING ALL CONTROLS/GAUGES. BEFORE DOING SO, LAST CODE READ, SHIFT TO PARK. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND NEARLY PULLED ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATION IS BAD TOO, FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT FIRING ALL CYLINDERS AGAIN. HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IN FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUES, INCLUDING CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUES(WAS LOSING POWER TO DRIVELINE); BRAKES LOCKING UP (HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS SIX TIMES AND LAST TIME I REPLACED BOTH CALIBERS AS WELL; POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, FRONT AXLES AND BEARINGS REPLACED. AS WELL AS, AC PROBLEMS. WHEN THE FIRST ISSUES AROSE, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, (LATER HE COMPLETELY DENIED TELLING ME THIS) INSTEAD THEY FIXED SOME THINGS AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. PROBLEMS HAVE CONTINUED SINCE, LIKE I SAID HAVE TAKEN IT IN AT LEAST 6 TIMES TO A DEALER AND ONCE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AT FIRST THE PROBLEMS WERE COVERED BY WARRENTY, NOW THEY ARE NOT, THERE IS ONLY 78,000MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, AS THE PROBLEMS RESEMBLE RECALL ISSUES, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY AREN'T PART OF ANY RECALLS. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK KEEPS OVER HEATING EVEN AFTER REPEATED REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS ROTORS AND PADS. THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND CAUSED HEAT DAMAGE TO THE FLEXIBLE LINE CONNECTING THE METAL LINE TO CALIPER AND ALL BREAK COMPONENTS. THIS OCURRED LESS THAN 5000 MILES AFTER COMPLETE BREAK REPLACEMENT ON ALL TIRES. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DRIVER FRONT STILL HAD 99% OF ITS PAD. AFTER REPLACING ALL COMPONENTS IT DID IT AGAIN IN LESS THAN 100 MILES. THE SHOP REPLACED THE CALIPER AND PADS SAYING THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A BAD CALIPER BUT NEW ONE ALREADY TO HOT TO TOUCH AFTER ONLY 50 MILES. THEIR \MUST BE A PRESSURE PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER SIDE IS COOL TO THE TOUCH AND PASSENGER SIDE YOU CAN FEEL THE HEAT AT HOOD LEVEL. THE TRUCK WAS MADE 2-13 DEARBORN PLANT. I HAVE NOTICED A EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THIS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE OWNER IT. BOUGHT IT NEW. PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY
