Rear glass shattered while vehicle was parked. Nothing impacted the glass. Glass is still intact in the vehicle. Hate to think if a child was in a carseat and the glass all fell out on top of them. I have read numerous complajnts about this happening and that Ford has denied any responseability. It is defenitly a problem
Vehicle stalls while driving and won't restart for hours. This has happened 3 times since may and twice since September 2018. Each time it has been taken to a Ford dealership and the Ford dealer says that they can find nothing wrong that can be recreated. I have stalled out on an 8 lane highway. This was an extremely dangerous occurrence. I recently had the entire truck serviced, from oil change to throttle body cleaning to spark plugs to transmission cleaned, axles cleaned. All of this was done mid August 2018 and still has not fixed the issue. I have 102,367 miles on my vehicle. When I looked to see if there were others with this issue, I found that there were many and that Ford is refusing to issue a recall to repair this extremely dangerous and hazardous malfunction. I am sitting on the roadway right at the moment, waiting for aaa to tow my truck to the dealership.
Went to pass on highway in my 2013 F150 with a 6.2L engine, and the throttle stuck wide open causing me to accelerate up to 80+ mph. It did not decelerate for about 1 min. I had to avoid hitting other vehicles.
Sunroof explosion. While driving with my family on I-75 the sunroof suddenly exploded. Fortunately the cover was shut or glass would've flown into the truck. There was no overpass or cars nearby. The photos show the glass exploded out, not in as would happen if something dropped on it from the sky. It sounded like a bomb went off. The sunroof is completely shattered.

Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinder engine. Has been numerous reports with others but Ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but I'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks NHTSA.
Ford used cheap plastic tracking for their moonroofs. These components are now failing regularly creating an issue with water leaking into the passenger compartment adversely affecting electrical components and potentially airbags. Once the track system is damaged, the moonroof will not seal/close. This fault happened on my particular vehicle while the truck was in motion.
Rear glass shattered due to defroster issue during remote start. This issue was not do to human error and solely the responsibility of Ford Motor Company's defect in the rear defroster/glass
Speed sensor. When driving you could be stopped or moving at a high rate of speed for example I was going 50mph when the truck shifted into first causing the truck to come almost to a complete stop almost causing an accident. At other times wheb you start the truck it will shift from 1st gear to 5th gear and the wrench indicator will appear on dash while everything else turns to dashes (mileage etc). The speedometer will then show zero even while still moving.
Started about 1 1/2 months ago, while driving at speed, vehicle felt like it shifted into neutral. Did not happen again til the next week. Then was taking off at a light and it had no pick up. Took into shop, no codes in computer, topped off transmission fluid. $97. Following week went to pass a vehicle and the truck lost power and started to shake, engine light flashing. Brought back to shop. Still no code, but they changed spark plugs and fuel system flush. $440. Was driving down the road RPM up to 3000, would not change if I pressed on gas or not, transmission shifting from 1-3 in random order. Felt like brakes were locking up. Driving 50 mph, RPM to 5000, speedometer from 50 to zero back to 50, brakes lock up. Pulled over, shut off truck, restarted no problem. Took to dealer I bought from, no codes could not help. Took to Ford dealer, said transmission lead frame needs repair $900, and main rear seal leaking badly. Never was I low on oil or had an oil spot. Looked up online several hundred of same vehicle with the same issues. No recall. Ford said nothing they could do because warranty is up and it is not their problem now.
Low brake fluid light on when brake fluid is full. Brakes not working at low speeds. Sometimes when pushing brakes you feel ABS kick in at low speeds. Very hard to stop.
Truck was automatic started and idling in driveway parked. Driver rear window (nearest the truck bed) exploded and shattered into many pieces. Had my daughter been sitting in her car seat she could have been harmed.

After using rear defrost, left side of the rear window shattered with a loud pop, sending bits of glass onto pax in the back seat. After reading online this is a known issue with this model of truck and needs to be a safety recall.
Neither of the rear doors open from the inside or out if the truck has been double locked with the clicker remote. This is not an isolated incident and it takes several days for the locks to reset and the doors to open.
