Ford F-150 2014 had an electrical issue that caused it to go up in flames as I was driving it down the highway at about 60 miles an hour. I first smelled a burning odor, then I looked in my review mirror and saw smoke, then I started seeing flames in the back passenger corner of my back seats. By this time the truck was very smoky but I was able to safely pull aside to the shoulder of the highway. I made an attempt to open my driver's door, but it wouldn't open and I then broke the glass to open the door from inside out. As I exited my vehicle and walked around the back of the truck I grabbed a towel out the bed of the truck and got on the ground to try and stop the flames at that time I could see a wire burning between the bed and the passenger cab of the truck as it made loud popping noises, then the truck just burst into flames. I called 911 and they called the fire department, they came out on the scene and put the fire out.

Truck was parked in driveway. Remote started, sat for 5 minutes in driveway. Entered truck and heard a pop. Looked in rear view mirror and noticed drivers side pane of rear power sliding window had shattered, apparently the rear window defroster over heats the glass and causes it to explode. Having dome some research this has been happening to many F-150 owners from 2010 right up to 2015. Ford refuses to replace glass. Ha there been a child in a rear facing car seat in the vehicle it could have caused injury from the shards of glass. This is a wide spred problem from what my research shows.I implore the NHTSA to issue a recall on the defroster and have Ford Motor Company absorb the cost of repair and replacement of windows affected by defective defrosters. Vehicle has 30K miles on it, not accidents, no negligence by owner

My rear defrost caused my window to shatter then it started melting the plastic around the window. Smoking and burning. I had just left my home it was 40 degrees in South Carolina had the front and rear defrost on. At a stop light I heard it pop and smoke was pouring around the rear window. It continued to smoke and burn even after I turned the defrost and the comfort system off.

This is an intermittent problem. The right rear door will not unlock or open from the inside or outside. Does not matter if the engine is on, the vehicle is moving or stopped. I feel this is a safety issue as the passenger on this side can not escape in an emergency.

The automatic locks on the doors stopped working on the vehicle. We took the vehicle to a local dealer and were told that the problem was electrical and could eventually impact all electrical functions in the vehicle. They said there was a short on one of the doors - they replaced the BCM and driver rear door latch which cost $900. As the vehicle was not even 2 years old, we could not understand how this could have happened and it was not covered under a warranty. Recently, we read of a recall on 2015-2017 Ford F-150 trucks related to potential door problems ('frozen door latch or bent or kinked actuation cable') and were wondering if this was the same problem we experienced with our 2014 model.

The rear door locks, lock sometime and don't others. It now is starting not to unlock as well. It is both of the rear doors. When people try to get out they have to roll down the window and open from outside. Let's pray that there is not an emergecy and my kids have to get and the window want come down.

Remoted started my F150 as I normally would in the morning. Entered the vehicle to hear cracking, looking in my rear view and noticed the rear window shattered. Smoke was coming from the lower corner. Enter the truck bed to get a better look and the rubber in the lower corner was burning and melting. Shut truck off. It appears the rear defroster malfunctioned and could have caused a fire. The truck is at the dealership now. No recall and they did not take the issue very seriously.

- Hope, RI, USA

The rear window defrost stopped working. 3 Ford dealerships indicated this is widespread with this vehicle. With snow sticking to the window, visibility for reversing to avoid other vehicles, obstacles and pedestrians is greatly reduced. A vehicle this large, even with rear camera and mirrors should have the best visibility possible.

After turning on the rear defroster for about 2-3 minutes the right rear window shattered. (if looking from behind its the far right out of the 3 part window. ) iturned it on and drove on a straight road for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at aprox 35 mph. We heard a loud pop/bang and looked around and found the shattered window. No puncture mark or hole from any object hitting it. Apparently this is a common problem according to reviews and news articles as there is a defect in the defroster over heating. Luckily it stayed in the window so we do not have glass every where but it could fly out every where at any second. This is extremely dangerous, especially if you have a child in the back.
