I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 PICKUP, PURCHASED NEW OCTOBER 2009. APPROXIMATELY IN 2013 THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER REAR SLIDING WINDOW FROM FORD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE WINDOW ITSELF, AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, OR FORD AT ALL. I HAVE NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FROM OWNERS OF FORD PICKUPS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, THE MAJORITY OF THEM EXPERIENCING BROKEN REAR WINDOWS, SMOKE AND DAMAGE. LIKE MANY, I HAVE A SMALL CHILD THAT SITS IN A REAR FACING CHILD'S CAR SEAT, AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY APPARENT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IS NOT WILLING TO ADMIT TO IT, OR TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS IT. THIS ISSUE IS A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR FORD PICKUP OWNERS, ALWAYS WORRYING IF IT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM, AND WHEN.

WHILE USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME, FORD COVERED IT AS A WARRANTY. THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE IT IS OVER 100,000 MILES. BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. BOTH TIMES THE WINDOW SHATTERED OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN JUNE AND THE SECOND TIME WAS IN FEBRUARY. TEMPERATURES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFERENT. JUNE WAS IN THE MID 70'S AND FEBRUARY WAS 0 - 5F. THE SHATTERED GLASS WENT ALL OVER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. CLEAN UP WAS A HAZARD AS THE GLASS IS VERY SHARP.

WAS OPERATING THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF THE POWER REAR WINDOW SLIDER SHATTERED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED. THE LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY SAID THAT MOST TIMES IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SHATTERS. THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REPAIR IS NOT COVERE.

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING WITH THE TEMPERTURE AROUND 30DEGREES. I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST TO THAW MY MIRRORS AND REAR GLASS OF FROST. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LARGE POP THAT RESEMBLED A GUN SHOT, MY DAUGHTER STARTED SCREAMING AND STATED MY BACK WINDOW HAD BROKEN. THERE ARE BURN MARKS ON THE DEFROST CONTACTS, SHARDS OF SAFETY GLASS OFF OF MY WINDOW THAT SHOT OUT WHEN EXPLODED WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE REAR SEAT AND HER CAR SEAT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROX 55 MPH. THE SOUND ALONE CAUSED ME TO LOCK UP MY BRAKES OUT OF INSTINCT TO INVESTIGATE THE LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL OF WHAT SMELT LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING PRESENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND MINIMAL SMOKE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR IT GOT STUCK, THE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND TRUCK ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON IT'S OWN. I MASHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AND OVER POWER THE BRAKES. I PUT MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, AND AFTER AN ABRUPT JERK, I PULLED OVER TO THE FAR LANE AS THE TIRES SCREECHED TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AND THERE WERE GUARD RAILS BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING TO THE MEDIAN AND NO EXITS NEARBY, ALL THE WHILE THE TRUCK IS CONTINUING TO REV OUT. I SHUT MY TRUCK OFF WITH THE KEY, AS SOON AS I COULD, TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. AFTER WE SAT, STOPPED, ON THE FAR LANE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS (CARS FLYING BY HONKING) I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK BACK UP AND IT WOULDN'T START, TURNED IT OVER AGAIN AND IT STARTED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS WE WERE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC GOING 60+ MPH ALL AROUND US, MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN WERE IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF BRAKE OVERRIDE FOR AN UNINTENDED AND OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION LIKE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH A CRICK IN MY NECK, HOPEFULLY IT'S JUST STRESS AND NOT AN ACTUAL INJURY. I'M THANKFUL NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. FORD, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED, OR WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO MELT SOME SNOW ON THAT WINDOW. NO CARS IN SIGHT IN EITHER DIRECTION. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOAD NOISE (ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT). THE BACK SLIDING WINDOW PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT. THERE APPEARED A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. THE REST OF THE SAME PANEL WAS SHATTERED. MY WIFE AND I LITERALLY JUMPED. SHE HOLLERED. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD SHOT THE WINDOW. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW WHEN IT BLEW. I ASKED THE MAN WHO INSTALLED THE NEW ONE AND HE SAID HE DOES ABOUT 5 OF THESE A YEAR. I CHECKED ONLINE, AND ONE WEBSITE HAD 104 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE F150 WINDOW BLOWING OUT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO. *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F150 ON A STATE HIGHWAY I TURNED ON THE DEFROST SWITCH FOR THE REAR WINDOW. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES TIME THE REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED WITH A LOUD POP EXPELLING GLASS SHARDES OVER THE REAR SEATING AREA. A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ACCOMPANIED THIS INCIDENT CAUSING ME AND MY FAMILY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND EVACUATE THE VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK HAS 58000 MILES ON IT AND FORD SAYS ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.

TRUCK STALLS COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. ALSO STALLS WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A STREET OR HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN RECENTLY (WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE), THE TRUCK WAS TOWED. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON INTERSTATE AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER SEVERAL TESTS, LEARNED THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE FUSE BOX. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED IN THE FUSE BOX. WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP ON THESE YEARS PULLS MORE THAN REQUIRED AMPS AND IS OVERHEATING THE FUSE AND MELTING IT. WAS TOLD THE FUSE BOX WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND FORD HAS A 4 TO 6 WEEK BACK ORDER ON THESE. BECAUSE OF SO MANY ISSUES. NOT FAIR FOR CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ENGINEERING MISTAKE.
