VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD (APPROX. 45 MPH, RAINING, APPROX. 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE) HEARD A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING NEXT TO ME OR BEHIND ME. WHEN NEXT STOPPED THE TRUCK GOT OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK BODY. THEN REALIZED THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. (IT'S A 3-PART REAR WINDOW.) LOOKING VERY CLOSELY, THE GLASS SPIDERED, STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER CLOSEST TO THE CENTER WINDOW UP TO THE OPPOSITE TOP CORNER. THE GLASS SPIDERED INSIDE THE CAR. OUTSIDE THE GLASS, ALTHOUGH STILL INTACT, WAS BUCKLED FACING OUT. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON. WHEN GOT BACK IN TRUCK TO TRAVEL HOME, DURING THE DRIVE THE WINDOW BROKE WITH SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FALLING ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT. VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE, FAMILY OR PET, WAS IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY BROKEN GLASS. BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO REAR DEFROSTER ALONG WITH GLASS MANUFACTURING. CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SINCE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN FIX BUT AT LEAST $1000. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, NO RECALL AVAILABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TURNED ON MY DEFROST ON MY REAR TRUCK WINDOW, LET THE TRUCK WARM UP AS IT WAS -5, STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET, DOING 50 KM, HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THE BACK SLIDING WINDOW SHATTERED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. LUCKILY IT STAYED INTACT AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I STOPPED AT FORD TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO, AS I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE FORD TRUCKS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT FORD SAID HE COULND'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME AS I NO LONGER HAD WARRANTY. HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1200 FOR A NEW WINDOW. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT (EVEN THO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM). I HAD THE WINDOW FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY FOR HALF THE PRICE FORD WOULD HAVE CHARGED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA SITE.

EXPLODING REAR GLASS. DRIVING THRU KANSAS AND ENCOUNTERED SOME FREEZING RAIN. I ACTIVATED THE HEATED MIRRORS AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AS THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 25 DEGREES. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40MPH IN THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME, A FEW MINUTES AFTER I HAD ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. AFTER A QUICK LOOK AROUND WE NOTICED ONE SECTION OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINDOW AND HAD SMALL SHARDS OF GLASS IN HER HAIR. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. WE ARE HOPING FOR A NHTSA INTERVENTION FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE,

ENGINE
THE TRUCK WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AND NO ENGINE ERROR CODES. I WAS GOING FROM A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND STALLED IN MIDDLE OF 4 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PUT THE ENGINE IN PARK AND START THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. MY NEPHEW WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR AND IT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO ROLE DOWN A HILL. HE HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY ENGINE ERROR CODES. THE TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING JUST FINE THEN THE ENGINE WILL JUST QUIT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR FORD 5.4L F150 ENGINE STALLS IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEN THEY SAID IT COULD BE A O2 SENSOR. MY EXPERIENCE WITH FAULTY O2 SENSORS IS USUALLY ROUGH IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH MY TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE. I UNDERSTAND IT MAYBE A HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE BUT IT APPEARS THAT THIS COULD BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO LOSS OF POWER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP AND LOOSE BRAKING AND STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF $820.25 TO REPLACE PART # 8F9Z 9F472 E SENSOR HEGO, ON THE FIRST VISIT WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ON THE NEXT VISIT TO THE DEALER PART # 8F9Z 9E730 G SENSOR HEGO AND PART # 9L3Z 9E730 G VALVE ASY FUEL VAPOUR WERE REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING STOP SINGS AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAYS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND MY VEHICLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE THE INVOICES IN MY POSSESSION BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F150 XLT ON 31MAY2010. ON 15 APRIL 2015, I NOTICED THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATING ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. SINCE THE WINDSHIELD HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACE, I ASSUMED THAT IT HAD A LEAK, AND HAD A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AGAIN ON THE MORNING OF 4 MAY 2015, WATER WAS ACCUMULATED ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD, AGAIN THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. ON 2 NOV 2015, THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS DRIPPING WITH CONDENSATION. I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BAD WINDSHIELD WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I LOCATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS INDICATING PROBLEMS WITH THE SATELLITE ANTENNA LEAKING AND THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT LEAKING INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, JOHNSON BROTHERS FORD WHO CONFIRMED THAT I DID INDEED HAVE A LEAK AT BOTH THE ANTENNA AND BREAK LIGHT, THE TRUCK WHILE ONLY HAVING 31000 MILES, WAS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEMS EITHER.I WAS QUOTED A COST OF $740. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AND ANTENNA. I REPLACED THE LIGHT MY SELF, AND THEY CHARGED $440.00 TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA, I INCURRED ANOTHER COST OF $304. TO HAVE THE CARPETS REMOVED DRIED OUT, FLOOR TREATED FOR ANY MILDEW, OR MOLD, AND REINSTALLED. I COMPLAINED TO FORD, THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT HAS GONE ON SINCE 1998. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. I ALSO HAD A GALLON OF WATER ON MY FLOOR AFTER THE CARPETS WERE REMOVED. SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY PLACED TAPE OVER THE DRAIN HOLES OF THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MADE. WHILE WE DID HAVE A LOT OF RAIN IN TEXAS THIS YEAR, WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE VEHICLE, IT STILL STANDS TO REASON NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEAKING THRU ANTENNAS, OR BREAK LIGHTS. EVEN THE TSB'S DO NOT WORK AS MY ANTENNA HAD SILICONE ON THE ANTENNA FROM THE FACTORY. *TR
