2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

ON A ~50 DEGREE MORNING, I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST WHEN MY REAR WINDOW (PASSENGER SIDE) SHATTERED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I TURNED IT ON. THIS IS A 3 PIECE WINDOW AS THE MIDDLE IS A SLIDER ON THE PICKUP, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. I WAS DRIVING WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND AS THERE MUST BE A SHORT OR FAULTY WIRING IN THE REAR DEFROST. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY FORD AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND MADE AUDIBLE BEEP AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN. PLACED TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTARTED RIGHT UP PLACED INTO DRIVE AND DROVE AWAY WITHOUT ISSUE WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ALWAYS IN THE SAME WAY IN SAME ORDER COMPLETE STOP OIL LIGHT BEEP AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER AND SINCE NO ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND NO STORED CODES WE FOUND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. SINE I OWNS OWN SCAN TOOLS AND AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE NEED TO BRING TO DEALER TO WASTE MY TIME WHEN THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. *TR

HEAD LINER WET, REAR SEATS AND REAR CARPET WET. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY DID NOT EVEN TRY TO FIND PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS A WATER LEAKING PROBLEM IT WAS NOT COVERED EITHER BY THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED. APPARENTLY IT IS A LEAK IN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE ROOF. WITH AS MANY OF THE 2010 F150'S EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN EITHER DESIGN OR INSTALLATION AT FORD, AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
