I auto started the truck and about 10 minutes into warm up the rear window shattered as I was putting items in the bed of the truck. Glass preceded to fall off the window, and there is still a residual burn electrical smell. I believe this is a result of the rear defroster. I have filed an insurance claim to replace the rear window. There were zero warnings, lamps etc. It sounded like a gunshot.

On 2/26/22 I had to use the jack that was included with the truck to try to lift the rear passenger side wheel in order to change a flat tire. The bed of the truck was empty so the jack only had to lift the weight of the vehicle. This was the first time that I had attempted to use the jack. I placed the jack in the proper position as indicated by the user manual. After lifting the truck wheel approximately 2-4" the handle of the jack broke by twisting and shearing off below the hook. Stranding the truck on the jack. Using a floor jack I was able to extract Ford's car jack from under the truck noticing that the threaded rod in the jack was bent. This jack is a potential crush hazard as it is not strong enough to lift up the vehicle that it was included with when the vehicle is unloaded.

The rear passenger doors, more commonly the passenger rear door will not unlock. On several occasions I have had to repeatedly lock and then unlock the door system to eventually enable the doors to open. This poses as a potential safety hazard if the driver and/or front passenger were incapacitated. The rear passengers could potentially be trapped in the vehicle and unable to reach a safe distance in the event of a fire or water hazard.

Oil pan is leaking and have been told that the reason is the oil pan material is subject to warping and creating a seal leak the cost is $1500. My safety has not been put at risk. The repair is under way today. Deal has confirmed the problem. Deal inspected the problem. No warning light are on the vehicle for low oil. At this time the manurfacture is not replacing with a original part but need to use a part ( oil pan that is meal vs the composite one that is original to the motor. Conern is if the leak had gottin worse would it create a fire condition and lose of power /control at highway speeds. Kia had a oil pan recalls. Why not Ford? thei is effecting the 2015 to 2019 F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost engines. My safty has not been

I don-??t know if this question qualifies in this section but I-??m just trying to find out why my 12v outlets in my truck are not working and also the plug-in for my trailer hitch, neither of them are working. To the best of my knowledge I-??ve checked fuses and couldn-??t see anything blown. Thank you

I get all these errors and wrench sign and see the manual sign while driving and engine turns off and we have to pull over to safety even on freeways while traffic is behind u coming at 65 or 75 mph. It has happened more than 8 times, we took it to Ford dealer in September and they gave us 11/8/21 appointment that was 2 months far and we keep having the same problem and we think it is a BIG safety recall issue as lots of people are complaining about it in different Ford Forums since 2014. We are wondering how come Ford has not recalled this issue yet ? After u turn off the engine on a busy freeway for 5 mins engine turns on and pulling it back on the freeway is a challenge and safety issue too and it gets worse when AC is ON and temperature is above 78.... it does it randomly and very frequently when AC is ON. They are complaining for 6 years ! WOW !!

Sliding back window top trim fell off and window is hanging out this is a safety reason in my opinion because my grandchildren were in the backseat imagine what would happen if it was an impact with something who knows where that back window would-??ve went. I had conversation on messenger with Ford. ladies name was Amelia and there is no recall on this item my truck is out of warranty so I will be responsible to have it fixed. Luckily this happened while sitting at a stoplight.

Vehicle stops from going forward when driving or it will not move forward when starting. Vehicle idles rough but it does not move it goes into a dead mode. The issue has been diagnosed as having a faulty throttle body. The throttle body has been replaced once already but the problem persists. This is unsafe as the vehicle ceases to move forward when driving down the road.

Vehicle would stall while driving, had to stop, park, turn off and turn engine back on. Engine would shake, and would put vehicle in limp mode, with no acceleration. Happened on major Roadways and on a highway. Looked to see if others were having this problem, seems to be common for F150 owners as a throttle body issue. Had looked at and it is indeed a throttle body issue. Extremely dangerous.

In the 15 F150 the rear sliding window bracket becomes loose and falls down. If you do not notice it beforehand the sliding window will become a flying projectile in the event of a car accident or hard braking. This is extremely unsafe with car seats in the back seat. I've owned 2 15 F150s and they both did the same thing. It's just a matter of time before this becomes a serious incident.

My 2015 Truck will occasionally lag in acceleration for no reason. It creates dangerous issues when going through intersections. It only has 56k miles. It should not be lagging like this by reasonable means.

On 7/30/2021, I was driving and the truck shut off. If another vehicle would have been behind me, it would have hit the rear end of my vehicle. This occurred twice within minutes apart. I have not taken it to a dealer but plan to tomorrow or Monday. The warning lamps that said service advancetrack, see manual with a wrench symbol, with an oil symbol and a temperature symbol under it in red, hill assist mode. The same thing occurred on 7/29/2021 twice as I was leaving work. I was going less than 15 mph. The engine coolant and over temperature also displayed.

As it rain or during vehicle washings, notice that water was leaking from the A-frame trim on the driver side of the vehicle. Also found that water was collecting inside of the driverside rear door between the sheet metal. Unsure of how the water manage to get inside and collect between the sheet metal. I removed the door gasket and the water drained from the bottom holes that holds the door gasket anchors at the bottom of the door. Collected close to a half gallon of rain water. As I was driving I could hear the water moving around in the door panel and originally assumed that it was the gas in the gas tank, however, after I opened the rear driverside door, I heard the water moving around inside the door panel. Water collects when driving and when vehicle is stationary.

My 2015 F150 king ranch rear window glass shattered. I was driving on he interstate I20 and heard a big bang and the glass shattered and I stopped. No marks are anyone close to me while driving. It just exploded and I did not have rear defroster on. To replace is $430 plus tax. Ford needs to issue a recall.
