2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F150 ON A STATE HIGHWAY I TURNED ON THE DEFROST SWITCH FOR THE REAR WINDOW. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES TIME THE REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED WITH A LOUD POP EXPELLING GLASS SHARDES OVER THE REAR SEATING AREA. A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ACCOMPANIED THIS INCIDENT CAUSING ME AND MY FAMILY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND EVACUATE THE VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK HAS 58000 MILES ON IT AND FORD SAYS ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.

WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME ON A 30 DEGREE SNOWY DAY WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON. BACKED INTO THE GARAGE AND AS SHE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF A LOT BANG OCCURRED. I WAS IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME AND REALIZED THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW SPIDER CRACKED AND ESSENTIALLY SHATTERED. FORD SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL, HAD REPLACED THE NEXT DAY FOR 600 DOLLARS.

TRUCK STALLS COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. ALSO STALLS WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A STREET OR HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN RECENTLY (WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE), THE TRUCK WAS TOWED. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON INTERSTATE AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER SEVERAL TESTS, LEARNED THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE FUSE BOX. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED IN THE FUSE BOX. WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP ON THESE YEARS PULLS MORE THAN REQUIRED AMPS AND IS OVERHEATING THE FUSE AND MELTING IT. WAS TOLD THE FUSE BOX WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND FORD HAS A 4 TO 6 WEEK BACK ORDER ON THESE. BECAUSE OF SO MANY ISSUES. NOT FAIR FOR CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ENGINEERING MISTAKE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD (APPROX. 45 MPH, RAINING, APPROX. 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE) HEARD A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING NEXT TO ME OR BEHIND ME. WHEN NEXT STOPPED THE TRUCK GOT OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK BODY. THEN REALIZED THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. (IT'S A 3-PART REAR WINDOW.) LOOKING VERY CLOSELY, THE GLASS SPIDERED, STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER CLOSEST TO THE CENTER WINDOW UP TO THE OPPOSITE TOP CORNER. THE GLASS SPIDERED INSIDE THE CAR. OUTSIDE THE GLASS, ALTHOUGH STILL INTACT, WAS BUCKLED FACING OUT. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON. WHEN GOT BACK IN TRUCK TO TRAVEL HOME, DURING THE DRIVE THE WINDOW BROKE WITH SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FALLING ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT. VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE, FAMILY OR PET, WAS IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY BROKEN GLASS. BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO REAR DEFROSTER ALONG WITH GLASS MANUFACTURING. CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SINCE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN FIX BUT AT LEAST $1000. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, NO RECALL AVAILABLE.

IT WAS A 45 DEGREE DAY I TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER FOR APPROX. 10 MINUTES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY I HEARD A LOUD POP AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR GLASS IN THE 3 PIECE UNIT WAS BLOWN OUT THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE PLEASE REVIEW.
