This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Turned on the remote start which apparently has a factory setting that the rear defrost automatically comes on. Come out to the vehicle and the passenger side rear slider is shattered.
I turned on the rear defrost on my 2011 Ford F-150 with 45,000 miles on it and the R/H side of the sliding rear window shattered. It is still in one piece but there are small glass fragments of glass all over the back seat. I am sure glad my girlfriends grandson was not put in his carseat before this happened. I stopped at the local Ford dealer they took pictures and submitted it off to Ford. I get a response from them on the same day that Ford will only cover 50% of replacement cost. I see they already have 2 service bulletins on this back window and since they are offering and covering 50% they seem to be admitting their is a problem. It is all over the internet that this is happening from the 2010's all the way up to 2014 F-150S. Its a problem and Ford is not doing to much about it. Seems to me it this should go back to who ever manufactured the glass. Other then what Ford says this is a safety issue because some of these back windows are blowing right into the inside of the vehicle. Recall or not this needs to be addressed.
Radio with sync, drops audio on left channel. Ford dealer could not duplicate but changed left front speaker. Started doing it again and this time I replaced all four speakers with higher grade triaxles. Still intermittently drops left channel. This happens on radio, sirius and sync, both services and phone.
Drivers side rear view mirror vibrates excessively when radio is loud or when driving at highway speeds. Makes headlights appear blurry or flashing like emergency vehicle at night. Dealer said Ford would not pay for new mirror assembly. Have had them look into it twice. Upgrading the complaint to the next level with Ford.

My new Ford F150 has recurring issues with the sync system. We drive down the road, hang up the bluetooth connected phone and the radio will begin playing at full volume and the steering wheel controls stop working, or you will be starting the car up and the air conditioning will be full blast or you will start the car and you wont have any radio/cd player/ media controls working at all. My Ford rep says that Ford does not have a fix and they don't expect one until maybe the first quarter of 2011.
