2013 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

BACK WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN REMOTE START WAS TURNED ON.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD F 150 LIMITED 4 X 4. I LOST MY BRAKES TWICE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FIRST 4 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. ON JAN 13,2014 WITH APPROX 849 MILES ON THE OD I HAD NO BRAKES. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR 8 HRS, MAGICIALLY I HAD FULL BRAKES FUNCTION AND COULD DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. ON APRIL 3, 2014 WITH APPROX 2517 MILES ON OD, MY BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY. I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR 8 HOURS AND BY MAGIC THE BRAKES WORKED AS NORMAL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CORRUPTED PROGRAM IN THE VEHICLE COMPUTER AND THE ABS COMPUTER. THE FIRST LOSS OF BRAKES, THE VACUMN PUMP WAS NOT HOOKED UP AT THE FACTORY. THE BRAKES SHOULD NEVER HAVE WORKED. BUT THEY WORKED PERFECTLY FOR 3 WEEKS BEFORE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED UP THE VACUMN PUMP....

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 PARKED22 AND NOT GOING 70 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH TRUCK IN MOTION AND/OR A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT.

2013 F 150 SUPER CREW 23000 MILES SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR BACK GLASS SHATTERED BOTH TIMES SITTING STILL SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO WHAT IS DEFINITLEY A SERIOUS PROBLEM PEOPLE CAN'T CONTINUE TO PAY EVERY YEAR FOR A NEW WINDOW.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING DOORS TO STAY LOCKED AND UNABLE IT OPEN.

2013 F150 FORD PARKED OUTSIDE ON DRIVEWAY. SUNNY WITH TEMPERATURE ROUGHLY 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. REMOTE START USED TO WARM UP TRUCK. WALKING OUT TO TRUCK WHEN A LOUD BANG/GUNSHOT TYPE OF SOUND HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. WALKED AROUND TRUCK AND SAW THAT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW (3 SECTIONS) HAD STARTED TO SPIDER CRACK. THIS PART OF THE WINDOW THEN CONTINUED TO CRACK UNTIL THE WHOLE SECTION WAS SPIDER CRACKED. (THE SHARP EDGES OF GLASS WERE ON THE INSIDE OF VEHICLE WINDOW.) THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR EVALUATION BUT WAS TOLD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST IS $1,200-1,300 USD. (PARTS AND LABOR).

IN APRIL 2014 OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF A SUNROOF EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE. FORD TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND CHARGED US $1035.05 TO REPLACE THE SUNROOF. SCARED US TO DEATH WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT.

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 IS LINKED TO SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTER MECHANISM, SO THE ONLY WAY TO DEFROST SIDE MIRRORS IS TO ACTIVATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN ADVANCE OF AN EVENT SUCH AS THE WINDOW SHATTERING ON MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO FORCE THE NHTSB TO MAKE FORD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER.

POWER REAR MIDDLE WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN TRUCK WAS SITTING STILL IN PARKING LOT. REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON WHILE DRIVING TRUCK. WINDSHIELD WIPER COME ON EVERY TWENTY SECONDS WITH SWITCH IN OFF POSITION

ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 WHILE TURNING ONTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK LOCKED UP IN FIRST GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELARATOR WAS BEING PUSHED. THE TRUCK WAS JERKING BUT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. RPM AND SPEED REMAINED THE SAME AS WELL. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENS AND I HAVE TAKEN IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT BUT NOTHING IS DONE.

TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. AFTER 4 MINUTES OF OPERATION, LEFT SECTION (BEHIND LEFT REAR PASSENGER) OF REAR WINDOW EXPLODED (SHATTERED) WITH LOUD BANG. LOCAL FORD DEALER SAYS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. INTERNET RESEARCH SAYS THIS HAPPENS ROUTINELY. GLASS REPLACEMENT COMPANY SAYS THEY WILL NOT WARRANT REPLACEMENT AS THE REPLACEMENT "GENUINE" FORD GLASS HAS BEEN "RED FLAGGED" IN THEIR SYSTEM DUE TO REPLACEMENTS FAILING FOR SAME REASON. (KNOXVILLE TN AREA). FYI: I AM A SENIOR QUALITY ENGINEER - AUTOMOTIVE PARTS MANUFACTURING.

YOUR WEB SITE DOSE NOT LIST A 2013 F-150 WHEN I DO A MANUAL SEARCH F-250 F350 BUT NO F-150.

GOT UP AND IT WAS FROSTY AND 24 DIGRESS OUTSIDE SO I REMOTELY STARTED MY F-150 FORD TRUCK WENT OUT 10 MIN LATER AND GOT ON DRIVERS SEAT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AS IF ROCK HAD HIT WINDSHIELD. GOT OUT LOOKED ALL AROUND BUT DID NOT SEE WHAT HAD CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT ABOUT MY DAY. THE NEXT DAY ABOUT NOON I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEEN THE REAR WINDOW BEHIND DRIVER WAS SHATTERED IN MILLION PIECES BUT STILL IN PLACE. WINDOW IS ALSO TINTED SO HARD TO SEE FROM OUTSIDE. TOOK CLEAR PACKAGING TAPE AND PUT SEVERAL PIECES ON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TO KEEP INTACT FOR NOW. WENT TO PUT PREASURE ON TAPE TO ADHERE TO PIECES AND GOT SEVERAL FINE CUTS IN FINGERS. CONTACTED FORD SEALED AND SAID FIRST TIME HE HAD HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THINKING THAT PROBLEM...

MY FORD 150 V8 SUPERCAB AT 32 MILES PER HOUR STARTS SHAKING THE WHOLE TRUCK AND VIBRATES. IT DOES THIS REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS AND OR GEAR THE TRUCK IS IN. IT ONLY GOES AWAY WHEN YOU DROP BELOW 32 OR GO FASTER THAN 35. *TR

THE TRUCK WHEELS LOCKED UP AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, COMING TO A VERY SUDDEN STOP. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. DURING THIS MALFUNCTION THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AND WAS AT A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING, IT WAS RETURNED TO US. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRUCK HIT A GUARD RAIL.

THE TRUCK I BOUGHT HAS BEEN SHAKING SINCE THE DAY I PICKED IT UP AND BROUGHT IT HOME. AT 55 MPH THE TRUCK HAS A DISTINCT WOBBLE. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO SHARPNACK FORD TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THEY DROVE FOUR OTHER TRUCKS ON THEIR LOT AND THEY ALL DO THE SAME THING. ALSO THEY TOOK THE TIRES OFF OF MINE AND SWAPPED THEM WITH ANOTHER TRUCK WITH THE SAME RESULT. I WAS TOLD THEY TOOK THE DRIVE SHAFT APART AND REBUILT IT, STILL NO FIX. AFTER TWO TIMES BACK TO THE SHOP, I WAS TOLD BY THE HEAD MECHANIC THAT FORD TOLD HIM NO MORE REPAIRS WILL BE DONE TO THIS TRUCK. I CAN SEE THE BED WOBBLE AS I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AM CONFIDENT THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT CLAIMING THE...

ON THE FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK WITH THE "XLT CHROME PACKAGE" THE BUILD UP OF SNOW AND ICE ON THE RUNNING BOARDS THROWN UP FROM THE THE FRONT TIRES CAN, WILL AND DOES POSE A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF LEG, HIP, BACK AND NECK INJURY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH OR PARALYSIS FROM STRIKING ONES HEAD AGAINST THE RUNNING BOARD.

THIS SAME PROBLEMS HAVE NO DOUBT ALREADY CAUSED INJURY TO THOUSANDS AND BEEN THE CAUSE OF DEATHS OR PARALYSIS IN OTHERS OVER THE YEARS. UNLESS THERE IS SOME FORM OF INTERVENTION IN THIS UNSAFE SALES TACTIC, THE N H S A, FORD AND OTHER TRUCK MAKERS WILL BE CONDONING THESE INJURIES AND DEATHS, NO PART OF A VEHICLE,...
