REMOTE STARTED 2014 FORD F-150. REAR WINDOW HEATER WAS ON DUE TO DEW ON REAR WINDOW. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATE WAS 42 DEGREES F. TRUCK WAS RUNNING OUTSIDE FOR 5 MINUTES. LOADED 2 CHILDREN UP AND DROVE 30 SECONDS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVE'RS WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED. SMALL GLASS PARTICLES WERE NOTICED. WINDOW FRAME WAS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH AND VISIBILITY WAS GREATLY REDUCED. THIS APPEARS TO BE EITHER A DEFECT OF THE HEATING ELEMENT, CONTROLLER, OR WINDOW.

WHEN I AM DRIVING,AND I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE(PRESS GAS PEDAL) THE ENGINE LOSES POWER. I THEN HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP AND PUT VEHICLE IN PARK,TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART, AND DRIVE ON. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT AGAIN.SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. IT'S DOES IT WHEN I'M ON ROAD WAYS. DANGEROUS IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC.

I TOOK MY 2014 F-150 IN FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION ONLY TO BE TOLD AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND THAT FORD COULD NOT TAKE THEM OFF UNLESS I PURCHASED NEW LUG NUTS. FURTHERMORE, THE FORD TECHNICIAN ADVISED NOT BUYING LUG NUTS FROM FORD AS THEY WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AGAIN. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO ASSIST IN THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS A NORMAL TIRE IRON WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CURRENT LUG NUTS OFF AND COULD LEAVE MY FAMILY STRANDED WITHOUT ANY OPTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE.

THIS MORNING, I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT. AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE, LESS THEN 1 MINUTE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, I HEARD A HUGE POP IN MY BACKSEAT. I LOOK BACK, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW JUST SHATTERED. I GOT OUT AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK PICTURES, SEE BELOW, AND CHECKED FOR ANY IMPACTS AND THERE WERE NONE. MY WINDOW LITERALLY SHATTERED ON ITS OWN. I AM TAKING IT TO FORD THIS AFTERNOON AFTER WORK.

LEFT MOST REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. I USED THE REMOTE START TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MIN TO WARM IT UP THEN AS I GOT IN I SAT THERE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED. AFTER THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL IN THE TRUCK. I NOTICED BURN MARKS ON THE PLASTIC HOUSING SURROUNDING THE GLASS. TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS AROUND ME SO I KNEW AN OBJECT DIDN'T HIT IT UNLESS IT WAS A METEORITE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THOUSANDS OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY. I WORK AT THE FORD PLANT IN BUFFALO AND THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I SHOULDN'T BE PAYING OUT OF MY POCKET FOR THESE FAULTY DEFROSTERS.

I'M HAVING TWO ISSUES WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN OF MY 2014 F150. FIRST IS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. ITS AS IF THE DRIVESHAFT IS MISSING A TOOTH AND DOESN'T TURN WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT HESITATES THEN CATCHES AND YOU HEAR A THUD LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. THE OTHER ISSUE IS FAR MORE SERIOUS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO CHANGE LANES. AS I CHANGED LANES AND PUT MY FOOT DOWN, THE TRUCK ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO ACCELERATE OR DOWNSHIFT AND ACCELERATE, BUT THEN DID NEITHER. IT WAS LIKE THE GAS PEDDLE WAS DEAD. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE, THEN RE-APPLIED AND IT WAS FINE. I HOWEVER WAS ALMOST REENDED. I'VE SEEN BOTH OF THESE ISSUES BY SEVERAL FOLKS ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHER SITES ASSOCIATED.

USED THE AUTO START FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE. TRUCK WAS RUNNING FOR ABOUT 4 MINUTES, WHEN I GOT IN. WHILE STILL STATIONARY, WITHIN A MINUTE I HEARD A LOUD POP. GOT OUT AND LOOKED AROUND, AND NOTICED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THIS WAS AT 5:30 AM IT WAS 53 DEGREES F AND WET FROM PREVIOUS RAIN
