I have had rear window issues since i bought the truck. First was when the rear defrost/mirror defrost wasn't working. They replaced the window in 2014. Second time was in april of 2017. We had a heavy frost and i couldn't see out the back window or the side mirrors, so i turned on the defrost. About ten minutes later i was driving down the highway and heard what sounded like a gunshot. I immediately started looking…

While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad…

Radio stops working causing the hands free phone, clock, and everything on the microsoft sync control panel to stop working. First time the vehicle was moving. The second time it was stationary. Dealer suggested disconnecting the battery to reset everything which worked for about a week then continues to do the same thing.

Sounded like a bullet/rock hit window but impossible due to direction of window as it was facing the back of the garage. Seemed odd but when i investigated through my dealership they claimed to have heard of the rear defroster causing this but because it was glass and…

This is a lariat model f-150 with less than 36k miles. The evaporator is leaking and requires the complete dashboard to be pulled in order to replace the evaporator at a cost of $1,700.this poor design along with poor production should be covered by ford due to model type and amount of miles.

Remote started my pickup on a cold morning. Doing this it automatically turns on the defrosters and the one in the rear window. Was driving to work and hear a loud pop.

Shortly after turning on the rear window defroster the rear window shattered, nothing hit it. It's like the defroster shorted and got too hot and blew the glass out.

There was a loud "boom" while parked in my truck. After exiting vehicle to inspect. The driver'side rear window was completely spidered. It is a power sliding rear with rear defrost. It was 5:30 a.m. On 2/11/2016. Temp that morning was 15f. I park between two buildings, and there was no one else at work yet. Vandalism can be ruled out. Seems to me to be an obvious defect in construction, or design. I am glad i was…

Rear window defroster does not work. I have read numerous reports of a defect in the wiring of the rear defroster that causes rear windows to shatter in colder weather. Dealer says the entire window and system needs to be replaced due to a faulty switch. Ford does not accept responsibility for the defect. This is a potential safety hazard as the rear window panel could shatter while driving. Rear defroster mechanism…
