On Wednesday, 6-26-19 at approx. 3:15 pm my truck was sitting in the driveway and had been parked there since approx. Noon Monday. Temp. Was in the low 90's with partial sun. The truck was sitting in partial shade. I got into the truck to run errands and shut the drivers side door. I then heard a pop and something moving. I couldn't figure out what was happening since I hadn't even started the engine yet. I looked backwards to where the sound was coming from and that's when I saw the entire rear window had exploded and was in a million pieces. Shards were inside the truck, on the concrete, in the bed of the truck and in between the cab and the bed of the truck. Most of the shards landed outside the cab. I have no idea what caused this. I've had the truck since it was new. First as my company work truck and then I purchased it as part of my retirement. The truck has never been in an accident and to my knowledge the rear window has never been damaged. The window was a solid can be heated. It exploded so bad there is really no picture needed. All that remains of glass is what is glued down on the edges. I'm getting it repaired tomorrow. Local Ford dealer service department acted like this was not their problem; one said we will fix it if your insurance will pay of it. Another person said wow, that's unusual we can't help you, call Ford customer service. I've seen many instances on the internet of the very same thing happening and also when the vehicle is moving. This is very dangerous. What would have happen if I had my grandchildren in their seats and that window did that. I got cut enough just cleaning up the mess.

During extreme cold the door latches freeze and can either not be opened or once opened will not latch closed. This has happened twice now. The vehicle had been sitting in the driveway overnight both times. There had not been precipitation for 24 hours prior to either event. After manually positioning the latches they would catch. On the second occasion they opened again. It was both rear doors both times. Both times the ambient temperature was in the teens with windchills below zero.

4WD issues. While driving -goes in and out of full time 4WD for no reason. Becomes hard to steer and often pulls to one side or another. When I want to be in 4WD-a (automatic/AWD) it will not allow me to shift back out or it will stay in 4WD-H full time. Even when I come to stop it will not shift out of 4WD despite indicator saying that it has.

  • 40,000 miles
The 2-panel moon roof that came installed with the truck has malfunctioned. It is rarely used but at about 40K miles (while stationary), the glass would not close properly. After manipulation, I was able to get it closed but it will not open again. It sounds as if there was "crunching" of plastic on plastic as the roof closed. The rear edge of the front glass will tilt but not fully. I have contacted Ford and they are aware that it is an issue due to inferior parts but have failed to issue a recall on the issue. I have researched the issue and have noticed that many other owners have the same complaint and some have experienced the glass shattering.

Only 53,00 miles on it. When I turn key to start it, it whirls, I turn it to off position & then it usually will go ahead & start. What can be wrong with that low mileage?

While using the adaptive cruise control on my 2015 Ford F-150 (king ranch), my truck will confuse a dump truck as a stopped or slow moving vehicle in front of my truck. This will happen if a dump truck is in the lane beside me or in opposing lanes. This occurs at sow and high speeds. Multiple times this has occurred at 65mph+ in traffic. The truck will very abruptly apply the breaks and the collision warning system will alert. This has almost caused very serious wrecks due to the speeds that it often occurs. This is also not a seldom occurance, it happens every time I pass by a dump truck. It will occur on any and every street. I took the vehicle to a Ford delearship and their solution had no effect on the issue.

F-150

  • 49,000 miles
I have a Ford F150 lariat that is not 33 months old, however I have 49K miles. I had to replace my moonroof (out of warranty because of the mileage, which should have nothing to do with the moonroof). That cost me $2,155 in September 2017. On 4/17/18, my replacement made the same awful sound and is broken again the moonroof makes a loud cracking sound like it will break. It then gets stuck open or closed, but sometimes not fully closed. You have to push it with your hand while pushing the button sometimes to get it to seal shut in the case of rain or overnight. There is a lot of research on this and this is quite regular for Ford moonroofs. They should recall and reimburse me for the $2.1K I spent.
