2010 Ford F-150

PARKED TRUCK IN A LOT. LEFT THE TRUCK AND WAS FINE AT THE TIME. I HAVE HEARD OF THE REAR WINDOWS SHATTERING BEFORE SO I'M ALWAYS LOOKING AT IT. GET BACK TO THE TRUCK AND THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. CHECKED SECURITY FOOTAGE AT THE LOT AND COULD NOT SEE ANYONE THROW OR HIT IT WITH ANYTHING. NOT NEAR A MAIN ROAD EITHER. REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WITH DEFROSTER (BROKEN SIDE), MOTORIZED CENTER WINDOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER SUDDENLY FAILED AND A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT A PLUG ATTACHED TO THE RESISTER WIRE HAD MELTED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE PLUG, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS FAILED TO OPERATE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHO STATED THAT A HIGH RADIO FREQUENCY HAD CAUSED THE ELECTRONICS TO FAIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS AND THEFT LIGHTS FLASH AND THE VEHICLE WON'T TURN. IF I LEAVE IT FOR SOME TIME AND COME BACK AND TRY IT, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK. WHEN IT DOES WORK IT'S ONLY BRIEFLY, THE A/C GOES OUT BUT STILL BLOWS AIR, THE INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER GO TO ZERO EVEN WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE DUE TO SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY HELD IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING IT WAS WORKING FINE. ON MY WAY BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE HASSLE AND I'VE HAD TO MISS WORK BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

TURNED DEFROST ON REAR POWER SLIDER WINDOW AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION LIKE A GUNSHOT AND THE REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE SHATTERED. THERE ARE SMALL PIECES OF GLASS IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND ON THE BACK SEAT. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MILD 30S AT THE TIME. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEFROST CAUSING THE GLASS TO SHATTER. FORD WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS. MILEAGE LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. TRUCK ALSO COVERED UNDER EXTENDED MAINTENANCE PLAN BUT FORD WILL NOT COVER IT THERE EITHER. *TR

HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDING FAILING BACKUP CAMERA AT NIGHT AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT WORKING (DANGEROUS AT NIGHT) AS WELL AS FUSES BLOWING. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE BUT DEALER STATES THERE IS CORROSION IN THE FUSE PANEL BECAUSE WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WHERE WATER IS ENTERING THE VEHICLE ON THE DOT.GOV AND OTHER WEBSITES. THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, FORD KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THEM DO GET AWAY WITH ISSUES THAT MAY CAUSE FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS INCLUDING TAIL LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

ON 3-12-14 I LEFT WORK AND HEADED HOME, APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING, I HEAR A VERY LOUD BANG TOWARD THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT. WHEN I GOT HOME, 10 MINUTES LATER TO INSPECT, I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE BACK PASSENGER SECTION OF MY WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. I ASSUMED SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT MY TRUCK, BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN SEEING AS I WAS MOVING FORWARD. IF SOMETHING WOULD HAVE FLOWN UP FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT WOULD HAVE HIT THE BACK OF MY TRUCK WHICH HIGHLY UNLIKELY. ONE WEEK LATER I HAD THE WINDOW REPLACED AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS THE 37TH REAR WINDOW HE HAS REPLACED SINCE DECEMBER OF 2013 AND THAT IT IS A ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO LITERALLY EXPLODE. AFTER RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS F150FORUM.COM WHERE I LEARNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN GOING BACK TO AS FAR AS 2011. I CONTACTED FORD AND FILED A COMPLAINT ( CASE# 4161127-C1J5T0). I ALSO CONTACTED "CRYSTAL' FROM FORD'S SOCIAL MEDIA DEPT WHO HAS BEEN MONITORING THE FORUM. SHE WAS REQUESTING VIN NUMBERS OF VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. SHE ULTIMATELY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE CAN DO BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY HAD A CASE NUMBER WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAVE HAD TO PAY $500 TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT. *TR
