Driving down the road we smelled smoke and my back sliding window shattered and blew out. Took it to the dealership and they wouldn't give a complete estimate. Called ford corp and of course they are dragging their feet. The rear defrost wasn't even activated at the time that it shorted out. I have researched the problem and it has been a major issue with fords for years.

Hitched a ride to get fluid and topped it off.…

Rear defogger on sliding rear window has become completely disconnected. Poor design. When automatically opening sliding rear window, the defogger mechanism gets caught on rear seat eventually, this lead to the rear defogger disconnecting and breaking off from his housing.

The doors (especially front driver side) often do not latch shut when the temperature is below freezing. The latch mechanism appears to be freezing. If one doesn't realize the door is not fully latched, it may swing open while on the road. I had to hold the door with one hand in order to prevent the door from swinging open. I will be bringing the truck to the dealer for the 18n03 recall despite the fact that many…

My husband was driving home from work when he heard a pop that sounded like a balloon bursting and he smelled something burning. He did have the rear sliding window open partially. When he got home, he looked the vehicle over to find his back window had shattered. Our insurance covered it 100% but this appears to not be an isolated incident. I went online and learned that has happened to other ford f150s and…

This morning i turned on my vehicle ( it was parked in my driveway) to warm it up. I proceeded to use the rear defroster because there was some frost on the rear windshield. Five minutes later i heard a loud pop and when i looked back the rear windshield was completely shattered. I i i believe this was a result of a malfunction with the wiring of the rear windshield defroster or the rear windshield itself.
