2010 Ford F-150

I LEFT HOME FOR WORK ON 12/8/2016. THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES OUT AND MY BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY ICED OVER. I TURNED THE REAR DEFROST ON TO CLEAR UP THE WINDOW. WITHIN TEN MINUTES I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. UPON INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT MY REAR 3 PEACE WINDOW HAD SPIDER CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PEACES. THE SOUND IT MADE SENT ME OFF THE ROAD TO A FRANTIC STOP. THIS WAS IN TOWN GOING 30MPH. I'M SO GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE REAR SEAT AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SMALL GLASS PEACES. THIS WILL SET ME BACK $600 AND I CANT IMAGINE EVER USING THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AGAIN AS IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY SWITCH THAT CAUSED THIS OR A FAULTY WINDOW. IT SEEMS THE MORE I FIND ON THE INTERNET THE MORE I REALIZE THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON. FORD MOTOR CO.SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING!

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

LEAKING WATER AT VEHICLE'S REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER CORNERS. LEAKING WATER FROM PASSENGER'S SIDE HANDLE. WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON PRIVATE DRIVEWAY DURING MULTIPLE RAIN STORMS, IT WAS FOUND MULTIPLE TIMES THE TRUCK CAB WAS LEAKING PROFUSE AMOUNTS OF WATER FROM THE REAR CAB CORNERS AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS DISCREPANCY, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THIS VERY PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT'S STATED THE LEAK IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT FROM THE TRUCK'S 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE LEAK IS FROM A LEAKING SATELLITE ANTENNAE. THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO MOLD, ROT AND RUST ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY SHORT OUT ELECTRICAL DUE TO WATER RUNNING DOWN THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR FRAME AND COLLECTING ON THE VEHICLE'S FLOORBOARD AND ELECTRICAL CHANNEL AREAS. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINANTS REGARDING THIS DISCREPANCY, A RECALL SHOULD BE SOUGHT AND ISSUED TO FIX THE DISCREPANCIES.
