After turning on the rear defroster for about 2-3 minutes the right rear window shattered. (if looking from behind its the far right out of the 3 part window. ) iturned it on and drove on a straight road for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at aprox 35 mph. We heard a loud pop/bang and looked around and found the shattered window. No puncture mark or hole from any object hitting it. Apparently this is a common problem according to…

After having my truck fail to start several times i discovered it was a "fuse 27" issue with the truck. This issue is so prevalent that the ford dealer knew the issue by name as soon as i described it. The fuse, located in slot 27 of the main fuse panel was severely burned and charred from an overload issue that causes the fuse to burn in its socket instead of tripping like a fuse is designed. After researching the…

Have lost power steering, brakes, and engine twice at different inclines, low/moderate speeds and while or after turning right. Both caused by a blown fuse (once fuse27, then after repair fuse70). During the second occasion this almost caused a serious and significant accident. Clearly there is an electrical issue as it happened a second time after repair by the dealership. Loss of power is sudden and in my case the…

Most recently, the truck was at the dealer with the airbag light on and while troubleshooting, the light turned off. As soon as the light was off, there was nothing else that could be done other than returning…

Driving at 30 mph and suddenly an orange wrench shows on the instrument panel. The vehicle is unresponsive and shuts down into a safe mode where i have no power to the gas pedal but it steers and drives very slowly. It has happened 2 times since owning the vehicle for only 7 months, it's a scary position to be in when you're in the flow of traffic and suddenly aren't. I've read on line reports of this incident on…
