    The truck has a 3 pane, power slide, and defrost rear window. The rear window on the passenger side randomly shattered. The window itself did not fall out and didn't visually have any marking suggesting a forced entry or impact. The vehicle was stationary in a parking spot all day while at work. The truck was also back up to a wall so it is very unlikely that anything could have hit it. The truck was parked directly…

    2 months after purchasing my used 2013 f150 super crew i noticed the 'low pressure oil' flash at random times. It flashes for 2 secs and goes away. I started researching and found other owners like myself are having the same issue. Some cases involved the vehicle shutting down during their drive. My vehicle is only at 62k miles. Please help. This is my livelihood , thank you.

    I started my truck and the wrench light came on. The truck was in limp mode and would not accelerate. I restarted the truck and was able to pull it back in the driveway. I plugged in an obd code reader and it gave a p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed." upon some research i found several models between 2011 through 2015 have had similar issues causing dangerous situations on the highway. The issue…

    I received notice of recall to schedule repair (software) upgrade. I contacted the dealer several times to only be told to keep calling back to see if they have received the software upgrade from ford. They said there is no problem with continuing to drive the truck until the problem is repaired.

    I used the remote starter in the morning to warm up my truck. As i entered the driver side door and sat down i heard a loud pop almost like a small gun fired. Shortly after i could hear the crunching of the rest of my back window shattering. I could also smell smoke inside the vehicle. After checking on line it seems this is a common issue with the rear de-froster.
