VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY REAR WINDOW HAS SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED TWICE IN THE LAST FOURTY DAYS. I'VE TIED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER BEING ACTIVATED WHEN THE REMOTE START IS USED WHICH CREATES AN EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE AIR INSIDE THE VEHICLE VERSUS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON ISSUE I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH. THIS OCCURRED ON 1/21/2019 AND AGAIN ON 2/27/2019

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKETS TO THE FRONT SPINDLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WILL COME OUT ON YOU, AND IT CAUSES THE CALIPER, AND THE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKET TO COME OFF ON YOU.IN MY CASE, IT CAME COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE BACKING UP, AND THE OTHER SIDE CAME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I STILL HAD SOMEWHAT BACK BRAKES LEFT TO GET STOPPED. HOWEVER, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS COMING OUT OF IT. I HONESTLY THOUGHT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION WAS FALLING OUT OF IT, DUE TO THE NOISE IT MADE, AND THE JERKING, JUMPING AND WOBBLING IT DONE WHEN IT CAME LOOSE. HAD I OF BEEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK IF I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP QUICKLY. I WAS LUCKY ONE COME OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE OTHER CAME OFF DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20 MPH. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO IT BEING A SUDDEN EVENT, WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER EACH TIME IT DONE IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A NEW TRUCK WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS, BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY THE BRAKES FALLING OFF OF IT.
