On october 11, 2019 @ approximately 4::15pm i parked my vehicle at a local store to shop. I exited my vehicle and upon activating the remote door lock, i heard a loud 'pop' that sounded like something struck my vehicle.

Upon my return drive home when checking my rear view mirror, i then noticed…

2013 ford f150 raptor. Been reading about several 2011 to 2016 about the rear back glass defrost not working due to bacd contacts on the window or even shaders for no reason. I think ford should replace this if it fails. With the back defrost not working also makes the side heated mirrors not work due to then being on the same circuit.

Upon using my remote start, and thereby using the rear defroster, the driver side rear window made a very loud pop sound while i was standing near my parked car. Upon examination, the entire passenger rear window panel was shattered and spider-webbed. It appears to be a relatively common issue with ford trucks as of late.

As i was exiting my house, the vehicle idling in the driveway, i heard a loud bang / pop. Sounded like a rock being throw at a body panel. I inspected the roof and hood at the time thinking something fell from a tree but no dent or object was found. At…

The back doors will lock and u can't unlock then. I've had this problem for a couple years. I've had both back doors lock on me for 3 days i could not open either. Than they unlock. I still have the right rear door locked . Safety concerns if you were involed in a crash and had passengers in the back they would not be able to get out. I never know when they will unlock

Rear doors will sometimes lock and can't open them from inside or the outside of the vehicle,( even manually) then at random they will start to work again. We had the same problem with our 2014 ford explorer. This is a very dangerous situation, as having children in car seats and not being able to get them out. *tr

On january 13, 2015 i was involved in a head collision with a 18 wheeler. The scenario was a two lane highway (hwy 67, lakeside , ca), there is minimal room for error and upon impact. I remember my brakes depressing completely to the floor board , yet as though there was no air lines. It has been a long recovery, which is why certain things are returning slowly.

The rear window shattered! After haven driven for an hour and a half in sub freezing temperatures, with the mirror defroster on, when i arrived at my destination i got out and closed the door and i heard a loud pop and the tinkling sound that shattered glass makes as it falls to the ground. It seems to me that the rear window and in combination with the mirror defrost system is a crude "open loop" heating system…
