"steering column control module" sccm (Ford P/N 3F944) plastic body broke, allowing the "multifunction switch" (Ford P/N 13K359) to separate from its electrical connector and become inoperable. The sccm plastic body is quite flimsy and the plastic is brittle - instead of just breaking, it shattered like glass. This failure occurred at night during a rainstorm 3-4-16. Had just exited onto an urban arterial from a freeway. Instantly the wipers, turn signals, and high beam became inoperable. Very dangerous driving home (1 mile from the event). Next day I was amazed at how extensively the plastic shattered, having no recall of treating it harshly - just using the device in the normal fashion.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the vehicle was started and sat idle for ten minutes when he heard a loud explosion. The contact then discovered that the rear window glass had fallen from the vehicle and shattered. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer took pictures of the shattered glass and sent them to the manufacturer. Approximately two weeks later, he was advised that they would cover a percentage of the repairs to the rear window. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 8,100. The VIN was unavailable.
