TRUCK WAS PARKED HOOKED TO A CAMPER WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK IT WOULD NOT START. HAD TO TOW THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUSE THAT OVERHEATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH A FUSE KIT. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I DID HOWEVER SEE AN ARTICLE IN CARS.COM STATING THAT FORD WAS REPLACING THIS FREE OF CHARGE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS FUSE THAT OVERHEATS AND IN FACT SELLS A FUSE KIT THAT RELOCATES THIS FUSE AT A CHARGE OF $480 BUT I'M SENDING THIS SURVEY HOPING TO OVERTURN THIS. ACCORDING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS VERY UNSAFE I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE PARKED AND JUST INCONVENIENCED.

I TOOK THE VEHICLES BATTERY OUT TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE AND AFTER INSTALLING THE NEW ONE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT,,HAVE NO IDEA WHY IM THINKING IT WAS SHUT OFF TO SELL IT. T HE VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT OCCURRED. STATIONARY.

FUSE BLOCK MELTING VEHICLE STARTED OK. AFTER TRAVELING APPROX. 10 MINUTES I STOPPED TURNED VEHICLE OFF. UPON RETURNING TO VEHICLE IT FAILED TO START. I THEN HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALER. FORD DEALERS DIAGNOSED IT NEEDED A FUSE RELOCATION KIT TSB 15-0137 PARTS AND LABOR APPROX. $350.00

MY TWO KIDS AND I WERE PLACING AN ORDER AT A DRIVE THROUGH, WHEN WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT IN MY TRUCK. I LOOKED OVER MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD AND SEE MY BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. I HAD THE DEFROST ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT WAS SNOWING, SO I DIDN'T GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT TILL TODAY.IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDOW IS READY TO FALL IN. NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDOW FROM EITHER SIDE. I HAVE READ OVER 100 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS.

I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER FROM FORD IS 11S15 ONLINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2010 FORD F150. HOWEVER, THE SAME DEALERSHIP IS INDICATING THAT ALL FOUR OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE FAILING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF ONE FAILED I MIGHT BELIEVE WEAR AND TEAR, BUT ALL FOUR WOULD INDICATE A DEFECT AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL REFERENCED ABOVE.

THE PASSENGER SECTION OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OF A RESTAURANT AND WITHOUT ANYTHING IMPACTING THE WINDOW IT JUST SHATTERED. FOR ABOUT A WEEK LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT THERE WAS A FUNNY SMELL WHENEVER I USED THE REAR DEFROSTER, MELTING PLASTIC, THAT I COULDN'T PINPOINT. INITIALLY, I THOUGH IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SEAT HEATERS
