2010 Ford F-150

REAR GLASS SHATTERING WHEN REAR DEFROSTER IS TURNED ON IN COLD WEATHER. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERING (DRIVER SIDE OF 3 SEGMENT WINDOW) WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON DURING COLD WEATHER (APPROXIMATELY 10 DEG F AMBIENT TEMP). THE VEHICLE HAD COLD SOAKED (NO MOVEMENT OR KEY POWER FOR 10 HOURS IN THE COLD WEATHER PRIOR TO THE WINDOW SHATTERING WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED (NO SNOW OR ICE ON VEHICLE) AND THE REAR DEFROSTER ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE AND MOVED APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN A LOUD POPPING SOUND, SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT STARTLED ME. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS RETAINED IN THE ORIGINAL FRAME. THE VEHICLE HAD 30,000 MILES. NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON WAS ANYWHERE IN SIGHT - MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLY THIS WAS DUE TO SOMEONE THROWING SOMETHING AT MY VEHICLE.

2010 FORD F150 WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILS AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. PERSONAL INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO FINDING NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME OR WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR OF FORD TRUCK. RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO SHOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL/AIR SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THE TRUCK FAILING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN SOME INSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THOSE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RECTIFY THIS WRONGDOING.

WAS OPERATING THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF THE POWER REAR WINDOW SLIDER SHATTERED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED. THE LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY SAID THAT MOST TIMES IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SHATTERS. THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REPAIR IS NOT COVERE.

EARLIER THIS WEEK, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH THE REAR DEFROST ON, SUDDENLY HE HEARD A LOUD POP, LOOKED BACK AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE GLASS PANEL WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED, BUT INTACT. NO HOLES. NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. JUST SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. IT'S GOING TO COST ME 600$ TO REPLACE! HOW IS THIS NOT RECALLED OR COVERED? I AM DONE WITH FORD. GETTING RID OF THIS TRUCK ASAP.

EXPLODING REAR GLASS. DRIVING THRU KANSAS AND ENCOUNTERED SOME FREEZING RAIN. I ACTIVATED THE HEATED MIRRORS AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AS THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 25 DEGREES. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40MPH IN THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME, A FEW MINUTES AFTER I HAD ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. AFTER A QUICK LOOK AROUND WE NOTICED ONE SECTION OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINDOW AND HAD SMALL SHARDS OF GLASS IN HER HAIR. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. WE ARE HOPING FOR A NHTSA INTERVENTION FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE,
