I remote started the truck while parked in my driveway first thing in the morning, while I got my son ready for daycare. The weather conditions was raining and roughly 35 degrees. Once my son was loaded into the car seat I closed his door and heard the window crack. I looked back to see the back rear windshield had spider webbed and shattered. The glass was blown from the inside out on the driver side. I have photos of were the defrost strip had arced/separated causing the window to shatter. I looked online and saw several other examples of this on the exact same model of truck. I was recommended to prevent this in the future was to pull the defrost fuse.

Truck will stall/shut off at a stop while towing. Red battery light will show on dashboard. Car will turn over then shut down again by itself within a few seconds. This happened 3 times at this point- once while in gas station in line to get gas (stationary) once at intersection (stationary at stop light), another time after stopping vehicle to get gas. At first event 30 minutes after it not working a jump started the vehicle successfully, at second instance jump would not start car, had to get towed, at third instance we were able to start vehicle by holding throttle down while putting in drive. Brought to Ford dealership- said nothing was wrong, would not work on truck, said no computer codes were found.

Same issue as report 11308430 - activated remote start with truck in driveway; when I came out to drive away, the rear windshield was shattered. The climate settings are set to the factory default for remote start. There was no indication of the defroster connection issue mentioned because this was a warm summer day and the default setting indicates that the defroster should not have engaged and the dealership saw no evidence that it did. The truck is certified pre-owned, but Ford claimed this to be an issue with the glass, which is not covered under this warranty, thus Ford was unwilling to provide assistance with the repair cost.

Vehicle was started and sitting in our home driveway. Before backing out of the driveway, I smelled smoke and noticed smoke coming from behind the rear passenger seat. I turned off the vehicle and lowered the rear passenger seat to investigate. The smoke was coming from the box in the lower left corner of the back glass. Seconds later, a loud explosion from the box and the back glass shattered with the exception of the center sliding portion.

Driving eastbound on I-10 at 75 -80 mph, on a mountain, suddenly advanctrac fault warning and engine power lost. Vehicle entered limp mode. I was forced to 'limp' on the shoulder to reach a safe area to stop with cell service and wait for a tow truck. This was a very dangerous situation. Semi traffic at high speeds were blowing past very little shoulder space to navigate. At each guard rail I was forced to stop - wait for a break in traffic- restart and pray for enough momentum to get around the area. I finally limped into wilcox AZ and contacted Ford roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed 74 miles to smith Ford in lordsburg nm $280. Fra advised that due to covid 19 no personal transportation is available. No alternate transportation is available in wilcox AZ. Smith Ford service does not open until Monday. Another roadside service $205 put computer on it. Code P2112 throttle actuator 'a' control system stuck closed. Pyramid roadside service found damaged wiring behind accelerator pedal and loose pedal. I had to walk alone in the desert to find a hotel. I eventually walked another 2 miles pulling a suitcase to a grayhound station to phoenix Sunday (274 miles).I will contact dealer tomorrow.Ford has been aware customer satisfaction program to replace defective etb 2015 & 2016 F150. I purchased May 5, 2019 and was not made aware of potentially dangerous situation. No recall was issued for this dangerous defect. Not only could I have been seriously injured on the interstate, I was put in very high risk situations both due to covid 19 high risk in this part of the country but also my personal safety being alone without transportation in an area with limited resources. Thus far I am out of pocket $800 and do not know what additional expenses I may incur until my truck is repaired. I live in papillion, ne and have a long way to go to get back home.

When I got off work got into my vehicle after a rainy day water poured out from my control panel on the ceiling of my truck. This the second time it's done it. Water comes out of the buttons used to control the rear window button also from the passenger side handle used to help upon entry to the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary for 10 hours and rain was happening all day. When I got in my vehicle the interior was dry but as soon as I turned right water began to pour from the control panel on the ceiling.

I have a 2016 F150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens I lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles I think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The Ford dealership in utica, NY wants $1500 dollars to fix this problem.

Faulty instrument cluster with less than 60,000 miles. Started the vehicle up, and all gauges and lights failed to illuminate. Took to dealership, diagnosed as bad cluster. A recall affected 2017 models for this same exact issue, yet my 2016 which was produced 2 months before the models affected by the recall is not covered. (NHTSA campaign # 17V053000) Ford Motor Company has refused to help in the matter and suggested I file a complaint here.

I was driving my 2016 Ford F150 North on payment, the outside temperature was around 35. I had recently turn my rear defroster on so it was on for about five minutes prior to the rear glass shattering. I was driving around 35 mph when I heard something pop and a burning smell coming from the rear of my pickup at first I thought it was a gun shot but it turns out the rear glass had shattered. The only thing that could've caused it is the rear defroster. Replacement of the rear window and installation will cost $623.22.

Remote start was activated with my truck backed into my driveway up to my garage. After several minutes I came out to my truck and observed the rear windshield to be shattered and glass all over my child's car seat. After closer inspection, the area around where the defrost wire connects to glass had a obvious burn pattern and glass was spider webbed out from that location. Ford would not stand behind their failed parts and would not repair.
