ON A 50-DEGREE MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THERE WAS A HEAVY DEW. I TURNED MY REAR DEFROSTER ON AND APPROXIMATELY 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS AT A STOP I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION/POP. I EXAMINED MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND STARTED TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND THEN WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR TO SEE IF SOMEONE HAD BUMPED ME I NOTICED MY BACK GLASS HAD EXPLODED. SINCE I WAS AT A FULL STOP AND I HAD NO IMPACT I GOT TO WONDERING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING TO WORK I RESEARCHED "REAR DEFROSTER CAUSES BACK GLASS TO BREAK". THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEREFOR I TOOK MY TRUCK TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER CAUSED THE ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2012 F-150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE, 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NO POWER BRAKES WHEN TRUCK IS INITIALLY STARTED AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS A FAILED VACUUM PUMP THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES YOU STOP. A RECALL WAS FORCED IN CANADA AND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION IS IN PLACE IN THE USA (15N05). BOTH COVER THE 2011 TO 2012 F-150 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE. FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL & CUSTOMER SATISFACTION POLICY. BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY HAVE NO POWER ASSIST AND ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARENT EXPECTING THE BRAKES TO FAIL LIKE THAT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE - BUT ALL THEY WILL TELL ME IS MY VIN ISNT COVERED. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THIS TO COVER MORE VEHICLES - ITS A HUGE SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I CANT BELIEVE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
