MY TRUCK IS SPUTTERING AT FULL THROTTLE AND THROWING A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT IS NOW STAYING ON. IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY DURING HARD ACCELERATION

THE VISUAL (ORANGE OR YELLOW) SEAT BELT SYMBOL LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES REMAINS ON. SEAL BELTS ALWAYS USED AND THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR REPAIR. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE FOR MONTHS.

ADV TRACK SERVICE LIGHT, CODE U0428. DEALER SAYS CAN'T REPLACE SENSOR, NEED TO REPLACE WITH SENSOR & RACK $1500 TO $2000. COME ON FORD, IF THEY WON'T REPLACE ORIGINAL COMPONENTS, AND HAVE TO BUY REDESIGNED SYSTEM ... DOESN'T THAT TELL YOU THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS MESSED UP?

STARTED MY VEHICLE ON A COLD MORNING TURNED ON THE WINDOW DEFROST AND REAR DEFROST. CAME BACK TO IT A FEW MINUTES LATER AND THE BACK WINDOW WAS SMOKING AND THE GASKET HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT SHATTERED THE WINDOW AND BURNT AND MELTED THE GASKET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE F150 WITH REAR DEFROST AND POWER SLIDING WINDOW IT EITHER BREAKS THE WINDOW OR CATCHES FIRE MINE DID NOT EVEN BLOW THE FUSE. HAVE SEEN MANY CASES OF THIS THRU F150 FORUMS AND FORD HAS NOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. IT IS ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX . MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY HAD I NOT CAUGHT IT IN TIME THIS WOULD HAVE DESTROYED MY TRUCK AND CAUGHT MY HOUSE ON FIRE TOO

I WOULD LIKE FORD TO RIGHT THIS COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE OF SAFETY. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MAD I'D BE IF MY FAMILY WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME
