2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE RIGHT BACK CORNER CAB WINDOW HAS SHATTERED/SPIDERED WITH NO REASONABLE CAUSE OR IMPACT.THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT OCCURRED AND THERE IS A TOPPER ON THE TRUCK SO IMPACT FROM THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR DID NOT HAPPEN. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS AND WHEN I TALKED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY WERE FULLY AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM THANKFUL THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE SEAT FOR THE GLASS TO POTENTIALLY BREAK ON THEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. IT IS DANGEROUS AND COSTLY. *TR

NEVER HAD A NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT HONOR RECALL AS THE TRUCK NOW HAS 174358 MILES ON IT. SAID THEY ONLY HONOR 150K OR LESS. BOUGHT TRUCK FROM FORD DEALER AT 124571 IN 2-11-19 AND SHOULD BEEN ADDRESS THEN. THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS SAID TO CALL A LAWYER! THIS TRANSMISSION "PROBLEM" COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AND MAY HAVE BEEN FOR OTHERS!
