2010 Ford F-150

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE MODULE FAILURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE BSM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

ON A ~50 DEGREE MORNING, I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST WHEN MY REAR WINDOW (PASSENGER SIDE) SHATTERED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I TURNED IT ON. THIS IS A 3 PIECE WINDOW AS THE MIDDLE IS A SLIDER ON THE PICKUP, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. I WAS DRIVING WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND AS THERE MUST BE A SHORT OR FAULTY WIRING IN THE REAR DEFROST. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY FORD AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150 CREW CAB. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE REVIEW DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED. THE TEMPERED GLASS SHATTERED BUT DID NOT FALL INTO THE CABIN. IN ADDITION, A BURNING ODOR AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE REAR WINDOW SEAL WITHOUT FLAMES BEING VISIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY STATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED IN THE SERVICE WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,800.

FILED A COMPLAINT EARLIER IN THE YEAR ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER. I TOOK MY 2010 FORD F-150 IN AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE. WELL GREAT...900$ TO GET IF FIXED. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TRUCK WILL NOT START WITHOUT IT. WOW, I USE TO LOVE FORDS... NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE A FORD OF ANY KIND. THANKS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER QUIT WORKING AFTER MY WIFE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT "GETTING SO HOT IT WAS LITERALLY BURNING HER LEGS". I TOOK APART THE SEAT TODAY TO REPLACE THE HEATING PAD BECAUSE I HAD READ ABOUT THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE WAS NOT EXAGGERATING. THERE WERE BURN MARKS ON THE FOAM INSULATION AROUND A CONNECTING PIECE OF THE BOTTOM SEAT HEATER. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, OTHERWISE I PROBABLY WOULD'VE JUST DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AND NEVER WITNESSED THIS MYSELF. *TR

I HAD MY TRUCK PARKED OUTSIDE DURING A HEAVY SNOWFALL DAY AT WORK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED IT TO LET IT WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. WHEN I GOT IN TO LEAVE I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED, NOT IN AN AREA WHERE VANDALISM IS POSSIBLE. AFTER READING THE ONLINE POSTS ABOUT OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM I REALIZED THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

2010 FORD F-150. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 28 DEGREES. STARTED VEHICLE AND TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE AND WAS WAITING ALONE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. HEARD VERY LOUD BANG NOISE CONSISTENT TO A CRASH OR MUFFLED SMALL CALIBER BULLET BEING FIRED. STEPPED OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO CONFIRM I WAS ALONE ON ROAD AND WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT. (I WAS COMPLETELY ALONE AT 6AM WITH NO OTHER CARS IN SITE). I NOTICED THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SPIDER WEBBED AND COMPLETED SHATTERED. REAR WINDOW IS 3 PANES, RIGHT MIDDLE, LEFT. RIGHT SIDE WINDOW THAT SHATTERED WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH COMPARED TO MIDDLE AND LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE. CONTACTING FORD AS I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY 2010 F150S WITH TRI REAR WINDOWS. *TR
