WE HAVE HAD 3 WRECKS IN THIS TRUCK FROM REAR ENDING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP OR THE PEADALWOULD GO TO THE FLOOR I STILL OWN THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON IT. I CANT AFFORD TO GET RID OF IT. SO I JUST HARDLY EVER DRIVE IT UNLESS I HAVE TO IT NORMALLY STOPS EXCEPT THOSE THREE TIMES IT HASN'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE THE MECHANICS THAT FIXED IT BACK AFTER IT WAS WRECKED SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ALL THREE TIMES WE WERE ACCELERATING AND HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY. MY WIFE WRECKED IT ONCE AND I TWICE. THE SECOND TIME I WRECKED IT WAS NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP AFTER MY WIFE WRECKED IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG BUT IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME.

STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO IT WAS A COLD 20 DEGREE MORNING AND MY BRAKE LIGHT / PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. A LITTLE LATER IT WAS OFF AND THOUGHT IT MUST BE A SWITCH. SHORT WHILE LATER IT WAS ON AND OFF AND ON OVER AND OVER. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE BETWEEN THE MAX AND MIN LEVELS. I HAVE PUT MORE IN SINCE THEN. THE TRUCKS BRAKING FOR THE MOST PART SEEMS OK BUT HAVE NOTICED AT TIMES IN TOWN THE PEDAL DOES SINK SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN NORMAL. NOW I HAVE SEE THIS PROBLEM AND IT MAKES SINCE ITS HAVING SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF. IT IS A 2013 F-150 FX4 3.5 EBOOST. I HOPE FORD TAKES THIS SERIOUS I I'LL BE TAKING THIS TO THE FORD DEALER HERE LOCAL TO ME AND HAVING IT LOOKED AT. THIS PROBLEM MAKES ME NERVOUS DOES FORD EVEN OFFER A UPDATED PART THAT WON'T BREAK DOWN AGAIN IF I HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED? NOTICED IF I'M PARKED ON. ON A HILL FACING DOWN THE HILL THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BUT FLAT OR ANY OTHER POSITION LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON ALSO BRAKE FLUID IS DOWN LITTLE BIT AGAIN.

I OWN A 2013 FORD F-150, FX4 ECOBOOST, WHILE DRIVING IN REGULAR CONDITIONS ON A TROPICAL WEATHER, A FEW MINUTES AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, LIKE A GUNSHOT, THEN REALIZE THE REAR (DRIVER SIDE) WINDOW OF MY TRUCK HAD SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY. UPON INSPECTION THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF IMPACT ON EITHER SIDE. I WAS REALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD A TODDLER SITTING ON A CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACKSEAT. AFTER LOOKING UP IN THE INTERNET I FOUND DOZENS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE MOST OF THEM WITH A NEGATIVE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERS. AS OF NOW I'M TRYING TO WORK THE ISSUE OUT WITH AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP IN MY LOCAL AREA. BUT IF I GET A NEGATIVE RESPONSE, I'LL HAVE TO GO THRU MY INSURANCE AND PAY A PREMIUM INCREASE SINCE THE COST OF REPAIRS ARE AROUND $1,200.00. FORD AND THE WINDOW MANUFACTURER CARLITE SHOULD DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND RESPOND FOR THIS FAULT.

THERE WAS A LOUD "BOOM" WHILE PARKED IN MY TRUCK. AFTER EXITING VEHICLE TO INSPECT. THE DRIVER'SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SPIDERED. IT IS A POWER SLIDING REAR WITH REAR DEFROST. IT WAS 5:30 A.M. ON 2/11/2016. TEMP THAT MORNING WAS 15F. I PARK BETWEEN TWO BUILDINGS, AND THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AT WORK YET. VANDALISM CAN BE RULED OUT. SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN CONSTRUCTION, OR DESIGN. I AM GLAD I WAS PARKED22 AND NOT GOING 70 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH TRUCK IN MOTION AND/OR A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT.

REMOTE STARTED THE VEHICLE, AS IS DONE MOST MORNINGS. AFTER ABOUT A 10 MINUTE WARM UP, I LEAVE FOR WORK. TRAVELLING DOWN THE ROAD, THE TEMPERATURE IS 6 DEGREES AND I NOTICE WHAT LOOKS LIKE ICE ON THE DRIVER SIDE PANE OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD. I ATTEMPT TO TURN ON THE DEFROST AND IT DOESN'T WORK. I THEN REALIZE THIS PANE OF GLASS IS ACTUALLY SHATTERED AND IT IS NOT ICE AS THOUGHT BEFORE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A COMMON PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT ASSUME IT MUST BE RELATED TO THE DEFROSTER AS I AM SURE IT IS AUTOMATIC WITH THE REMOTE START BELOW CERTAIN TEMPERATURES.

AFTER REMOTELY STARTING MY TRUCK, I WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT PUTTING ON MY SEAT BELT AND PREPARING TO START DRIVING HOME WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "BANG". I GOT OUT THINKING THAT SOMETHING HIT THE TRUCK, BUT SAW NO SIGN OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAD OCCUR. AFTER ARRIVING AT HOME, I OPENED THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO RETRIEVE MY WORK BELONGINGS, THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND COMPLETELY SPIDER-WEBBED. THE TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME OF THIS OCCURRENCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE REMOTE START SETTING FOR THE REAR DEFROSTER IS SET TO AUTOMATIC, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAME ON DURING THE REMOTE START. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IDLING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2013 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH 27,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH REAR DEFROSTER AND A POWER REAR WINDOW.
