ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I auto started the truck and about 10 minutes into warm up the rear window shattered as I was putting items in the bed of the truck. Glass preceded to fall off the window, and there is still a residual burn electrical smell. I believe this is a result of the rear defroster. I have filed an insurance claim to replace the rear window. There were zero warnings, lamps etc. It sounded like a gunshot.

WHEELS
Ford Dealership Service Representative advised me that when attempting to rotate my tires, they notice the lug nuts were swollen. They advised me that I would need to purchase new lug nuts if I would like to have the tires rotated. The cost would be over $100. I researched this online and many sites star that this is a common defect in Ford Lug nuts.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On 2/26/22 I had to use the jack that was included with the truck to try to lift the rear passenger side wheel in order to change a flat tire. The bed of the truck was empty so the jack only had to lift the weight of the vehicle. This was the first time that I had attempted to use the jack. I placed the jack in the proper position as indicated by the user manual. After lifting the truck wheel approximately 2-4" the handle of the jack broke by twisting and shearing off below the hook. Stranding the truck on the jack. Using a floor jack I was able to extract Ford's car jack from under the truck noticing that the threaded rod in the jack was bent. This jack is a potential crush hazard as it is not strong enough to lift up the vehicle that it was included with when the vehicle is unloaded.

ENGINE
While driving, both around town and on the highway, all of the gears disappear from the gear cluster and when this happens my vehicle will not shift out of the gear that it is in. When pressing the gas pedal, I have had nothing happen and the vehicle shift unexpectedly or not shift at all. Instead of accelerating, it caused the rpm's to redline and I nearly went into the wall while on the highway. If the truck is turned off while the numbered gears on the cluster have disappeared then I have had problems trying to restart the truck. The truck will also have a warning pop up to "see manual" and warn you that the blind spot detection is offline. This problem has nearly caused me to be in several severe accidents and serious enough for me to spend the time typing this complaint. After diagnosis at Ford, they relayed that it is the molded lead frame for the transmission and that there are a few years models of f150 with this recall but not the 2015 year model.

SERVICE BRAKES
2/11/22.While at a complete stop, foot on brake, my truck started creeping forward and I kept pushing on the brake and I couldn't stop until my truck ran into the back of a semi trailer. After shutting truck off, and starting again, it appeared to work again. My 7 year old grand daughter was with me and she heard me yelling, "I can't stop, I can't stop". It has not been confirmed by dealership because it has to go collision shop on 2/14/22. No Warnings came on my dash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The rear passenger doors, more commonly the passenger rear door will not unlock. On several occasions I have had to repeatedly lock and then unlock the door system to eventually enable the doors to open. This poses as a potential safety hazard if the driver and/or front passenger were incapacitated. The rear passengers could potentially be trapped in the vehicle and unable to reach a safe distance in the event of a fire or water hazard.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Despite several recalls dealing the the doors freezing open due to water intrusion in the door latch cables, my left rear door froze open (again) last year the right rear door froze open. At both times the door had to be secured with a ratchet strap to take for repairs. Ford is unwilling this time to repair this defect at no cost. I can't be the only person with this safety issue. It gets cold in Montana, I shudder to think what would happen if a passenger fell out because the door won't latch or suddenly opened in the winter.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield spraying system freezes when temperatures drop below freezing. This is an extremely dangerous and hazardous situation. Even when using -35 degree windshield washer fluid (well below recommendation) my windshield has been frozen over and covered in grime. The frozen system does not allow for the windshield to be sprayed and cleared. The vehicle is undriveable in this condition. This is a known problem with a technical bulletin issued. Ford’s resolution is that the customer pays for this remediation. This is unsatisfactory as it is a clear design and safety flaw.
