Rear window shattered on its own with no impact. Vehicle was sitting in driveway and had been started with remote start. Rear defroster on.

On 12/31/18 I was operating my vehicle listed in this complaint. While operating I had the rear defroster activated. I arrived home and backed into to my driveway. While reversing I heard a loud pop come from my back window. The entire window was shattered. The window sets in front of the truck bed and did not come into contact with any foreign object. On 1/5/19 while getting the window repaired chafing was found on the defroster wires on the broken window. I called Ford, they advised this was a common problem with F150S but it did not have a recall. I should be reimbursed for my expenses since I did not damage the window. This was not a cheap fix, the shattered glass was popped out from the inside.

When I accelerate on the highway to merge or pass my truck looses power completely can not accelerate. It shudders for about 45 seconds check engine light comes on flashing and it suddenly comes back to life. I took it to my local Ford and they said it was a high pressure pump that needed to be replaced. I replaced it and it is still having the same issue. This seems to be a common issue with these trucks. The more research I have done the more I find about this same issue. Ford should be held liable and recall these trucks for this problem. I now have to take it to another Ford dealership hoping they can figure it out. Last Ford truck I will ever own.

I was driving back from the gas station around 2230 hrs on a winter night. I was going about 35 mph on a city street when I suddenly heard a very loud bang; literally sounded like a gunshot, I quickly looked around, but I didn't notice anything at the time. It was dark at my house when I got home, I walked around the truck but didn't see anything obvious at the time. When I came out the next morning I got into my truck and looked in the rear view mirror and noticed the rear window on the driver side was shattered, no hole, no pieces missing, no obvious signs it was struck. The window is actually bow out a bit like the force was from the inside.

Heater/air blower caught on fire. There was not an obstruction causing the fan/blower to over heat. I caught it soon after the fire started so was able to put it out before the entire vehicle was on fire. The vehicle was stationary in my front driveway and had just started it running to warm up.

I have a 2013 F150 and have a loud noise coming from the engine. After my mechanic looked into it he said it is the timing chain rattling at start up. The truck has only 52000 miles on it. Barely broke in and now has a rough idle and loss of power when driving. My mechanic came up with 4 different codes showing camshaft and crankshaft position correlations. Turbo charger under rest. System to rich bank 1 & 2 and misfire detected at start up. This is a 2013 truck with 52000 miles and Ford is telling me it probably isn't under warranty and could cost around $3500 or more to fix. I see they have had problems with this same issue with the 2011 & 2012 F150S. Internet is full of this same issue. How can they get away with it for 3 years and no recall?

I have a 2013 F-150 ecoboost. I was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. I lurched forward in the seat. The speedometer went down and then back up to 50. It lasted all but seconds. I was able to drive home. I have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until I can get it to the garage. Thankfully the road was dry otherwise I would have skidded out of control. I have about 110,000 miles on the truck. This has not happened before. The past few weeks however it has occasionally not shifted out of 1st or has started in 5th gear. This has been sporadic only. Occasionally, when I start off, it will lurch forward. The vehicle has been maintained and has generally been a very good performing vehicle.

I remote started my truck with the factory remote to warm up the vehicle in my drive way. I start to put my child in his car seat in the left rear side. As im putting my child in I can smell something burning and I can see smoke coming out from behind the seat. I immediately take him out of the truck and turn off the vehicle. As soon as it turns off I hear a loud pop noise almost like a firework going off. I see the rear window is now shattered with pieces of glass falling on my child's car seat. Defroster seemed to burn the trucks rear seat and caused the window to shatter. I did a internet search and found that this is a common issue with the window defroster over-heating and causing the left rear window to shatter. I've reported this issue to Ford within days of this happening and have not heard back from them.

Rear glass shattered while vehicle was parked. Nothing impacted the glass. Glass is still intact in the vehicle. Hate to think if a child was in a carseat and the glass all fell out on top of them. I have read numerous complajnts about this happening and that Ford has denied any responseability. It is defenitly a problem

Vehicle stalls while driving and won't restart for hours. This has happened 3 times since may and twice since September 2018. Each time it has been taken to a Ford dealership and the Ford dealer says that they can find nothing wrong that can be recreated. I have stalled out on an 8 lane highway. This was an extremely dangerous occurrence. I recently had the entire truck serviced, from oil change to throttle body cleaning to spark plugs to transmission cleaned, axles cleaned. All of this was done mid August 2018 and still has not fixed the issue. I have 102,367 miles on my vehicle. When I looked to see if there were others with this issue, I found that there were many and that Ford is refusing to issue a recall to repair this extremely dangerous and hazardous malfunction. I am sitting on the roadway right at the moment, waiting for aaa to tow my truck to the dealership.

Went to pass on highway in my 2013 F150 with a 6.2L engine, and the throttle stuck wide open causing me to accelerate up to 80+ mph. It did not decelerate for about 1 min. I had to avoid hitting other vehicles.

Tsb 14-0017 intercooler humidity issue this should be a recall issue

Sunroof explosion. While driving with my family on I-75 the sunroof suddenly exploded. Fortunately the cover was shut or glass would've flown into the truck. There was no overpass or cars nearby. The photos show the glass exploded out, not in as would happen if something dropped on it from the sky. It sounded like a bomb went off. The sunroof is completely shattered.

Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinder engine. Has been numerous reports with others but Ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but I'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks NHTSA.

Ford used cheap plastic tracking for their moonroofs. These components are now failing regularly creating an issue with water leaking into the passenger compartment adversely affecting electrical components and potentially airbags. Once the track system is damaged, the moonroof will not seal/close. This fault happened on my particular vehicle while the truck was in motion.

Rear glass shattered due to defroster issue during remote start. This issue was not do to human error and solely the responsibility of Ford Motor Company's defect in the rear defroster/glass

Speed sensor. When driving you could be stopped or moving at a high rate of speed for example I was going 50mph when the truck shifted into first causing the truck to come almost to a complete stop almost causing an accident. At other times wheb you start the truck it will shift from 1st gear to 5th gear and the wrench indicator will appear on dash while everything else turns to dashes (mileage etc). The speedometer will then show zero even while still moving.

Started about 1 1/2 months ago, while driving at speed, vehicle felt like it shifted into neutral. Did not happen again til the next week. Then was taking off at a light and it had no pick up. Took into shop, no codes in computer, topped off transmission fluid. $97. Following week went to pass a vehicle and the truck lost power and started to shake, engine light flashing. Brought back to shop. Still no code, but they changed spark plugs and fuel system flush. $440. Was driving down the road RPM up to 3000, would not change if I pressed on gas or not, transmission shifting from 1-3 in random order. Felt like brakes were locking up. Driving 50 mph, RPM to 5000, speedometer from 50 to zero back to 50, brakes lock up. Pulled over, shut off truck, restarted no problem. Took to dealer I bought from, no codes could not help. Took to Ford dealer, said transmission lead frame needs repair $900, and main rear seal leaking badly. Never was I low on oil or had an oil spot. Looked up online several hundred of same vehicle with the same issues. No recall. Ford said nothing they could do because warranty is up and it is not their problem now.
