1. I AM NOT ALONE IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL CANISTER BEING A PROBLEM ON THE F150- I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TWICE NOW- OTHERS IN THE FORUM ARE DOING THE SAME. THE VAPOR CANISTER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECOMES FAULTY AND THE ENGINES STALL OR RUNS ROUGH- WHEN IT STALLS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I GREW UP WITHOUT POWER STEERING- 97$ OUT OF POCKET- DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT- HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. IT'S A SIMPLE FIX- YET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WITH STRONG ARM STRENGTH CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OR USE THE BREAKS. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED AT.! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED! WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IS INEXCUSABLE- HAPPENED WITH JUST 35K MILES ON TRUCK. 2. SEEMS FORD HAS A MEGA DEFECT WITH BAD DESIGN ON THEIR F150 POWER REAR WINDOWS WITH THE HEAT GRIDS GOING BAD- THIS HAPPENED AT MAYBE THE SAME TIME, AND UNLESS I SPEND 1000 DOLLARS, I HAVE NO REAR-WINDOW DEFOGGING- THIS WAS NEARLY A 50K VEHICLE, AND JUST STARTED TO FALL APART AFTER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN- IF ICE AND ALL IN THE SOUTH, MANY DO NOT HAVE THE PREPARATIONS FOR THIS (I GREW UP IN THE NORTH). I STILL CAN'T DEFROST MY REAR WINDOW), BUT HAVE A SCRAPER 3. HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT- SEEMS, FORD REFUSES TO FIX A BAD DESIGN FOR FAULTY HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT- CHEAP GASKET WILL FADE, AND MANY OF USE (MYSELF RECENTLY) HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WATER DRIPPING INSIDE THE CAB- 100 PLUS BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE? CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GASKET?? AND LET'S ADD TO THE FACT THE LIGHTS ARE SO BADLY DESIGNED, THEY COLLECT GRIME/CRAP AND JUST LOOK LIKE YUP. (BIGGEST CONCERN IS RUINING THE INTERIOR WITH WATER- I HAD A LOT OF WET RECENTLY- F150 FORUM IS PLASTERED WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE FUEL CANISTER MAKING THE VESICLE STALL IS DANGEROUS. AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. (THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE OTHER ISSUES IN 2018. SHAME- NO QUALITY!~

ON A 20 DEGREE MORNING I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TIME I HEAR A LOUD NOISE. UPON LOOKING AROUND I FOUND THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, THANKFULLY, BECAUSE THE SOUND WAS A LOT LIKE A GUN BLAST AND IF DRIVING I COULD HAVE SWERVED, IT STARTLED ME SO MUCH. THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND VISIBILITY OUT OF THAT WINDOW IS SEVERELY HAMPERED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND IT EFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
