THE STARTING DATE AND MILEAGE ABOVE IS APPROXIMATE. A SENSATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED A KIND OF BUMP OR CLUNK. YOUR STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THEN CLUNK. OR, JUST BEFORE TAKING OFF FROM BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION "CLUNK". THE FREQUENCY OF THIS SYMPTOM STARTED OFF AS JUST ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN FIRST NOTICED AT AROUND 36K MILES. NOW WITH 58,000 IT HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, SAY, EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. I KEEP A MILEAGE LOG FOR MY BUSINESS AND BEGAN DOCUMENTING WHEN THIS OCCURS. I PRESENTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER TWICE BUT HAVE FAILED TO REPLICATE IT FOR THEM TO EXPERIENCE. *TR

I WAS REAR-ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER AND RAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A FORD F250. THE DAMAGE WAS IN EXCESS OF $12,500. FRAME DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE REAR WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. I SUSTAINED A NECK INJURY TO INCLUDE TWO HERNIATED DISKS. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I HEAR A STRANGE, ALMOST SLIPPING SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN I TAKE OFF, OR TURN A CORNER, ALMOST LIKE I'M NOT GETTING TRACTION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND NEVER WHEN I TAKE IT IN..IS THIS NORMAL OR SOMETIME I SHOULD WORRY ABOUT? *TR

6/20/12 I NOTICED MASTER POWER WINDOW BUTTON ON DRIVER?S SIDE DOOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPERATE. 6/21/12 I STARTED THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED ON THE AC, LEFT THE VEHICLE TO GRAB MY BRIEFCASE AND GET IN NO MORE THAN 15 SECONDS. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I NOTICED SMOKE AT THE ENTRYWAY BUT COULDN?T IDENTIFY WHAT OR WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I APPEARED TO GO AWAY SO I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING SOMETHING. I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRES ABOUT THE TIME MY HEAD TURNED I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MASTER CONTROL AND GETTING BIG FAST, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT REALLY CAME OUT FAST. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS FLAMES OR NOT. IT WAS NOT IN FLAMES BUT THE SMOKE WAS STILL COMING OUT. I GRABBED THE FUSE BOX PANEL AND TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE FOR THE POWER WINDOWS. IT TOOK A CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP TO IDENTIFY THE FUSE UNDER THE DASHBOARD I DIDN?T KNOW WAS THERE I THOUGHT THEE WAS ONLY 1 FUSE PANEL BOX. THE DEALERSHIP WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AND A LOT OF HELP. SERVICE ADVISOR WE IDENTIFIED THE CORRECT FUSE, REMOVED IT AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. I HAVE NO OTHER PROBLEMS THAT I KNOW OF. THIS IS A 2007 VEHICLE WITH A FIRE DEFECT. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THERE ARE IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT THE TUNDRA WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A MODEL AFFECTED BUT IT SURE SHOULD BE. THERE IS NOT A RECALL AS OF THIS TIME AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. *INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) TT
