The rear window shattered on the passenger side of our vehicle. I cannot see out of it. The vehicle was stationary. We did not see anything happen to it (person) via our security cameras. I am worried it will shatter. This seems to be a common problem as i have conducted research on the internet.

2011 ford f-150 supercrew xlt 4x2. In the last year i had the spring mechanism that secures the fuel door break and no longer provides a secure seal. I have noticed that a number of other ford f-150's around the same model years exhibit a similar issue and i would have thought we would have seen a recall with the number of issues in this category

I went back to truck and took my three year old out of her…

According to the rust warranty on my vehicle there literally has to be a hole rusted thru the vehicle for the warranty to kick in. This is ridiculous i purchased the vehicle in nov 2011 after returning from iraq and…

Remote started the vehicle this morning with climate control switch in auto. Truck ran for 10 minutes. Entered my truck to look in the rear view mirror to see that the driver side rear windshield had been spider webbed. No indications of rocks or any other materials/debris present to have caused the cracking. Ford fix your problems. *js

I turned on the rear defrost on my 2011 ford f-150 with 45,000 miles on it and the r/h side of the sliding rear window shattered. It is still in one piece but there are small glass fragments of glass all over the back seat. I am sure glad my girlfriends grandson was not put in his carseat before this happened. I stopped at the local ford dealer they took pictures and submitted it off to ford. I get a response from…

Driving down the road at 35 miles per hour, my right rear black glass shattered from the inside. My son was sitting in the back seat and thankfully he was on the opposite side. It sounded like a shot gun hit the truck. It was so loud, we pulled over and was checking each other to make sure we didn't get hit by a bullet. We soon learned it was the window that shattered for no reason. I bought this truck brand new and…
