Pulled the truck out of the garage to warm up. It was about 35 degrees Fahrenheit. And when I got out into the cold air, the rear cab window shattered. There was no impact from anything, just simply the change in temperature was enough to shatter the glass.

4 year old truck passenger door and rear driver door locks do not work. You can pull the driver side knob up after you roll the window down which is ludacris in my book I have to small children and if we were happen to get in an accident I would hate to have to bust the window out if it was serious. I could understand if this vehicle was 10 years old and they stopped workin but this is not the case 4 years old Ford should replace what ever is wrong...... I have read other complaints about this model year and other Ford F150 door issues something needs to be done.... thanks for your time.

No recall, but have had trouble with the transmission from day one, it jerks does not change gears the way they should, supposedly fix they installed a new transmission pump and still the same, say they cannot duplicate the problem. When on the highway have to slow down and then when you try to accelerate it jerks try to pick up speed

Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out. Take it to Ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because Ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.

The contact owned a 2014 Ford F-150. While trading in the vehicle, the dealer (mark porter Ford, 1360 mayhew rd, jackson, oh 45640) informed the contact that the current vehicle was previously involved in a crash. While purchasing the vehicle in June of 2017, the contact asked the dealer if the vehicle had been in a crash and was informed that it had not. The VIN was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The Ford sync 2 with gps that's tied into their 911 accident reporting system. Reports my vehicle location in lakes and on non existent roads when on major roads and freeways. I have video and still shots. As a ret firefighter, I can say that people could die if we can't find them in time. Ford knows this and that's a violation of the tread act. There are many class action suits going on now about this defective system which Ford has now completely abandoned. My truck was under Ford manufactures bumper to bumper warranty and the dealers can't fix them without these new sd cards. Ford sold this truck with the defective sd card and I have a letter from them saying that Ford wants to sell me a new sd card for $175 for a fix while claiming that it's from a third party yet they are still profiting for the replacements. Ford knows that thousands of Ford and Lincoln car and truck owners are having many problems with the sync 2 system and they are ignoring our complaints. My gps and the voice commands have become unstable.and the system is completely unusable. And that's an accident waiting to happen when families can't get help in the event of a serious crash. Ford used to supply these sd cards when doing master resets found on their web site but now they don't seem to care as according to one Ford dealer they stopped paying for this warranty work because this fix cost too much.

On January 9, 2018 I used my remote starter to start my truck, which I have set to turn on the front and rear defrosters along with the seat heaters. The truck ran roughly 15 minutes before leaving for work. Upon my arrival (approximately 20 minutes later), I parked, turned off the engine and got out. When I shut the door, I heard what sounded like ice falling off the truck. Knowing there wasn't any ice build up, I walked around to see the rear driver side window was shattered and pieces of glass were falling out.

I used the remote start to warm up the truck and when I got into the truck to go to work I saw that the rear drivers side window had shattered. I was completely baffled as to how this happened as there are no indications that anything struck the window. I went online and saw that this is a recurring problem with Ford F150's. I'm lucky it didn't shatter while I was driving or while my kids or grandkids were in the back seat. This vehicle only has 19,000 miles on it.

problem #15

F-150

  • 66,000 miles
Exploding rear glass - 45F external temp, turned on the rear defroster, after about 5 minutes I heard what sounded like someone hit the truck with a baseball bat! I look around and notice the driverside portion of my 3 section power sliding rear windshield has shattered. After calling a repair place I learned that this is a very common issue with these trucks. There needs to be a recall from what I can tell, sounds like the source of the problem is faulty rear defrost elements getting too hot and causing the glass to shatter in cold weather. Truck ran for a few minutes in the driveway before leaving for work. Glass shattered about a mile into the drive while going around 40 mph on a city street (barker cypress in cypress, tx to be exact).

Driving at 55 mph in cruise control. Touched brake to disengage cruise control and pressed accelerator pedal to pass a slow vehicle when pedal went to the floor and engine raced. I had to press brakes with all my might to slow vehicle to 45 mph and it kept climbing and pedal would not come up and engine speed would not slow. Pressed off button for cruise control and nothing changed. Finally after 5 miles heard a pop and the pedal came up and engine speed dropped to idle. Could not stop earlier as 2 lane hwy. With no shoulder. Guard rail and river on right and mountain cliffs on left side. Brought to dealer who could find nothing wrong they stated.

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.
