The rear defrost malfunctioned and one of the three rear window panels shattered. The vehicle was being driven to school with my 3 children in the backseat. We were going 25 mph through a town.
Regarding safety recall notice19S07, I called the dealership and they told me that they do not have the software to fix this until sometime in may, to call back at the beginning of May. How can I make Ford resposible if something happens to me in the meantime? thanks!
As experienced by many others, one of the fixed rear windows shattered while driving about 35 mph in a straight line on a Maryland state roadway that was in good condition. A very loud pop/crash alerted me to the damage. I could not identify any physical impact that caused the glass to shatter. This occurred on 4 Mar 2019.
I have 3 issues to report: 1. the oss output speed sensor manufacturer recall number 19S07 in November 2018 I was sitting at a red light I went to go when the light changed and the truck felt like it was going to stall I tried to get to the side of the road and then the truck seemed to go into gear and seemed fine no warning lights or anything 8 hours later on my way home from work the powertrain malfunction light came on wrench light I stopped and had it checked codes 0720 and 0722 came up output speed sensor I took it to my shop where they gave me the technical service bulletin and told me to take it to a Ford service center which I did they ran another diagnostic and said they found the transmission lead frame faulty and charged me $1526 and now I find out there is a recall for this issue. 2. tsb15-0061 windshield wipers continue to operate in low intermittent when the switch is in the off position. Installed new wiper/multifunction switch twice and still have the problem. 3. the same time my wipers started acting up my horn stopped working both when you push down on the horn switch on the steering column and when you go to set the alarm. I asked the service mechanics about this and I was told it could be the (BCM) body control module Ford is recalling some BCM in Ford F150 but doesnt show up when I put my VIN number in.

After I started my parked truck very early this morning around 6:20 am when it was still dark and very cold, I turned on the rear defroster, at which time I heard a loud pop but could not figure out where the sound came from. It was not until later in the day that I noticed that my rear right window was completely shattered. After I looked online, I realized that this was a persistent and common problem with this truck (Ford F150). I called the dealership and they said that as there was no recall on this problem, there was nothing they could do but I could get it replaced for around $700. Why doesn't Ford fix this issue if so many trucks owners are suffering.
When I turned on my rear defroster this morning while it was parked, I heard a loud pop and was not aware of what had happened until later when I saw that my rear windshield's right side glass had completely shattered. After looking online, I learned that this has happened to many Ford F150 owners, I called my local dealership and they said that since there is no recall on this problem, there is nothing they could do and that they would charge me almost $680 to replace the window.
The issue I have with my 2011 Ford F150 is with the back glass shattering. My truck was parked in my driveway and I remote started the truck. When I went out to leave the back glass was shattered on the passenger side. Nothing hit the glass as it was parked and not in motion on the driveway. The rear defrost is set to auto when remote starting so the back defrost would of come on when I started the vehicle due to the windows having frost on them. Looking online this appears to be a common issue with Ford F150's and remote start with auto defrost. Luckly no one was in the truck as this could of seriously hurt someone when the glass shattered.
On Monday January 6th I started my vehicle and let it warm up then when I tried to put my truck into reverse and when I put the shift lever in reverse the electronic transmission prndl display did not indicate the letter R for reverse and the backup lamps did not operate. After that I tried each gear and none of them were working so I put it into park and then back into drive it slammed into gear and then I was able to drive. The day before I got into my vehicle after it warmed up then put it into perverse and it did not go into reverse at all or drive. As a result I took it to midas in my town and they told me that there was a safety recall on my vehicle due to the codes and behavior so they advised me to take it to Ford dealership for it to be fixed for free. I did so and I asked about a recall and they reported to me that there is no recall and they want me to pay full charges this is a safety concern that can be taken care of by the dealership and I am missing work and out of the vehicle due to this delay and I'm still making payments on my vehicle that is not safe to drive.
Sudden and random downshifting. While in drive, the transmission will suddenly downshift into a lower gear, completely at random. This causes a major lurch and "jump" in the transmission and speed decreases greatly. Happens at high and low speeds. Does not seem to be induced by "hard" driving or gentle driving. Cannot force it to occur. Have not taken it into dealer to be checked as no codes (engine light or gear) appears. This is a known recall issue for other F150's but my truck isn't covered, but is definitely having the same issues.
While driving at 55 mph on a two lane black top road the rear passenger side window of my truck suddenly shattered. I had been driving for approximately 15 minutes when I activated the rear window defroster to clear the remaining layer of frost off of the driver side outside mirror. It was shortly after activating the rear defroster that I heard a loud bang and after looking around the interior of the truck realized that the passenger side pane of glass in my 3 piece sliding rear window had shattered. When I checked the window there was no obvious scuffs or holes indicating that something had struck the window. Additionally there is a bed cover over the bed area which would rule out something flying up out of the bed and striking the window. Additional data: * outside temp approximately 36 degrees F * rear window clear of frost defroster activated to clear driver side mirror * road surface smooth and speed 55 mph and traveling straight. * window did not fall from frame and shows a pronounce outward bow.
My wife and I were driving down the street in April and turned on the rear defrost and heat because it was chilly outside. Within minutes, the rear passenger window shattered outward, startling us and almost causing us to have an accident. We feel Ford should recall all 2011 F-150S to replace the rear defrost, which is obviously defective, and replace every rear window that shattered because of this defect.
Rear glass shattered due to rear defrost shorting out. Started truck after some freezing rain and turned on the rear defrost. Started to go down the road and about 10 mins later on the highway I hear what sounded like a shot gun blast. The glass had shattered but was still in place. I taped it up. I do not have the money to replace this. This is a design flaw that could cause a serious accident.
F150 was traveling the pa. Turnpike going 70mph. The transmission shifted into 1st gear from 6th gear. Rear end fishtailed uncontrollably. Ford said this vehical is not under the recall. They will however, charge me $100 for a diagnostic test. But I will pay to get this fixed. You folks need to remedy all of us owners who are getting screwed by Ford for this dangerous problem. Go to any forum for Ford F-150 and see the thousand of people this has effected in a real bad way
I went to open my sunroof and I heard a loud popping noise. The window slid back and opened but it will not shut. I tried numerous time to close it and it will get close to it and then open back up again. I found a piece of plastic broke off in the track where it broke from just opening it.
