THE COOLANT IN MY VEHICLE HAD LEAKED OUT AT THE FIRST SIGN OF UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER HERE IN ATLANTA. I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO GET THE HOSES/ORINGS TO FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE FORD CO. REPORTED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT HAD THE SAME FAILING PARTS WERE TRYING TO ORDER DURING THE COLD WEATHER LAST WEEK. NOW THAT IS IS REPLACED, IT IS STILL LEAKING THE COOLANT OUT. MY MECHANIC SAYS LEAKING THIS MUCH COOLANT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO IT HARMING ENGINE/MOTOR AND VEHICLE FIRE. THE HOSES AND O RINGS LAST WEEK THAT THEY PUT ON MAY ALSO BE COMPROMISED., AS THEY ARE LEAKING TOO. SURE WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO ATTENTION OF FORD CO.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SYSTEM GETS FROZEN DURING 10 OR BELOW WEATHER. I'VE TRIED USING NAME BRAND WIPER FLUID RATED FOR THE WINTER AND EVEN ADDING MORE ALCOHOL. ALSO TRIED CLEANING OUT THE NOZZLES AND POURING WARM WATER. ONLY THING THAT ADDRESSES IT IS PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A HEATED GARAGE. HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE FLUID WITH THEIR PREFERRED BRAND AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. SO THIS DEFINITELY IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID OR RANDOM CIRCUMSTANCE OF FREEZING NOZZLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DURING THE WINTER AS ROAD SALT AND GRIME SPRAYS ON TO THE WINDSHIELD AND VISIBILITY DROPS.

IT WAS IN THE TWENTIES DEGREE MARK OUTSIDE. REMOTE STARTED TRUCK. GOT IN THE TRUCK HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. LOOKED AROUND AND MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. NO ONE OR ANYONE WAS AROUND WINDOW WHEN IT HAPPENED. FORD WILL NOT REPLACE.

ON JANUARY 9, 2018 I USED MY REMOTE STARTER TO START MY TRUCK, WHICH I HAVE SET TO TURN ON THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS ALONG WITH THE SEAT HEATERS. THE TRUCK RAN ROUGHLY 15 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. UPON MY ARRIVAL (APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES LATER), I PARKED, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND GOT OUT. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE ICE FALLING OFF THE TRUCK. KNOWING THERE WASN'T ANY ICE BUILD UP, I WALKED AROUND TO SEE THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND PIECES OF GLASS WERE FALLING OUT.

USED REMOTE START THIS MORNING TO WARM UP THE TRUCK, WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED DUE TO SOMETHING WITH THE REAR DEFROST.
