SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING OF REAR WINDSHIELD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN WHICH THIS HAS HAPPENED WHERE THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH NO CAUSE UNDER THE EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCE.. THERE IS NO SIGNS OF INTENTIONAL DAMAGE OR IMPACT. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND RUNNING WITH THE REMOTE START FUNCTION. THE REAR DEFROST WAS ACTIVATED.

ON THE DAY OF 02/16/2021 I HAD THE REMOTE START ON THE TRUCK SO IT WILL WARM UP AND I HAVE EVERYTHING PRESET ALREADY FOR WARM HEATED AIR AND THE BACK GLASS HEATER AND MIRROR HEATERS TURNED ON. WHEN I GET INTO THE TRUCK IT WAS WARM AND OIL WAS BROUGHT UP TO TEMP SO I WAS READY TO HEAD OUT. WHEN I NOTICED OUT OF MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT THE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED DRIVER SIDE IT IS A 3 PIECE/1 PIECE GLASS SO IT'S SEPARATED PIECES OF GLASS BY A DIVIDER BUT CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY BUYING THE WHOLE PIECE AND KIT. I'VE NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS ON THIS VEHICLE IT IS A 2014 F-150 SUPER CREW 4X4 I'M SUPER UPSET SEEING AS THE TRUCK I HAVEN'T HAD LONG AND ALSO THE FACT THAT FORD DOESN'T WANNA OWN UP TO THEIR FLAW IN THE GLASS. I ALSO LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY SO VERY UNLIKELY SOMEONE DID THIS TO MY TRUCK MY DRIVE WAY IS PRETTY LONG SO IT ALL MAKES SENSE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING I'M SURE THE LOUD POP OF THE GLASS SHATTERED WOULD HAVE DISTRACTED ME ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE MYSELF OR OTHERS. CONSIDERING MY FIRST ASSUMPTION WOULD BE A GUN GOING OFF AND SOMEONE IS FIRING AT ME.

THERE'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FUSE #27 OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. DO A GOOGLE SEARCH. IT AFFECTS MANY YEARS PRIOR TO 2014. THIS IS SERIOUS AS IT CAN LEAVE PEOPLE STRANDED. IT HAS NOT THROWN A COMPUTER CODE FROM 2014 F15. SIMPLY REPLACING THE FUSE DID ALLOW STARTING BUT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE'S A FUSE RELOCATION KIT (EL3Z-14293A) AVAILABLE BUT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PERFORMING THIS REPAIR. THE FUSE DOES'NT BLOW OUT BUT THE FUSE SOCKET OVERHEATS FOR SOME REASON.

WHILE PARKED,ENGINE OFF AND SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL THE REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR DAMAGE TO AFFECT BREAKAGE. THE PANEL IS THE DRIVER SIDE OF 3 PANELS OF PICKUP TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCHING , I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS OF THE DEFECT BUT HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION IN RECALLS.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE REAR DEFROST ON TRYING TO CLEAR THE BACK WINDOW, DRIVER SIDE REAR GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. I WILL BE REPLACING THE BACK GLASS, AS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A RECALL FROM FORD AT THIS TIME.

WHILE SITTING IN MY TRUCK WAITING FOR THE WINDOWS TO FINNISH DEFROSTING, I HEARD A LOUD BANG. I LOOKED BEHIND ME AND SAW THAT THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE AS IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT! I LIVE ON A MILITARY BASE AND VIOLENCE OF THIS KIND IS VERY UNLIKELY. I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND THAT COULD HAVE HIT OR THROWN SOMETHING AT MY TRUCK. I CALLED THE INSURANCE AGENT AND HAD AN APPT SET FOR WINDOW REPLACEMENT. WHEN THE TECH ARRIVED I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, A WINDOW JUST BREAKING ON ITS OWN. HE SAID THAT HE SEES A FAIR NUMBER OF 2014 F150S WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND EVEN THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SUCH. HE SAID THE HEATING ELEMENT IN THE REAR DEFROST SHORTS OUT AND BREAKS THE WINDOW. WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS A PLETHRA OF SIMULAR COMPLAINTS NOT JUST ON 2014 MODELS, BUT 2015 AND 2016 AS WELL. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS. WORSE EVEN WOULD BE IF MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING BACK THERE. I AM TIRED OF THE MONEY HUNGRY CORPORATIONS NOT DOING THEIR ETHICAL AND MORAL JOB OF KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE, AND THIS WILL NOT CHANGE UNLESS WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE TO AMERICANS. I HOPE TO SEE A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE STARTED TO DOWN SHIFT INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEARS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING SCARY NOISES AND VEHICLE RPM TO JUMP VERY HIGH AND VEHICLE REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP. VEHICLE DOES THIS WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. ANYTIME I ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS

SPORADICALLY, OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS (BUT WITH MORE FREQUENCY IN RECENT MONTHS), AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WITH NO OTHER COMMON DENOMINATOR, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE TRUCK FUNCTIONING IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTART IT. MOST TIMES, THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN DANGEROUS IN MULTIPLE INSTANCES. WHILE THE TRUCK IS A 6-SPEED, 2014 FORD F-150, IT WAS BUILT IN NOVEMBER OF 2013. REGARDLESS OF THIS, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF RECALL 19V433000 OR 19V075000, DESPITE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLS. THESE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURE DATES SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I WAS ALARMED TO SEE THE NUMEROUS CLAIMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO THAT EFFECT. THIS IS OUR 5TH FORD BETWEEN MY WIFE AND I, OF WHICH 4 WERE TRUCKS. CONSIDERING FORD'S NEGLIGENT FLAW HASN'T BEEN CONSIDERED FOR ANY RECALL, DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE FROM ITS OWNERS, IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST FORD PURCHASED BY US, OUR EXTENDED FAMILY, AND ANY OF OUR BUSINESS AND PERSONAL ASSOCIATES TO WHOM WE WILL PASS ALONG THIS CONCERN. IT'S EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT OF WALMART TRAVELING AT SPEED 10 MILES . NO ONE WAS AROUND ME.I WAS ABOUT TO PARK WHENI I HEARD A LOUD BANG. CHECKED AROUND THE TRUCK ON TOP AND SIDES. WHEN I OPENED THE REAR DOORS FOUND THAT RIGHT REAR WAS SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TWO YEARS AGO I PAYED FOR THE REPAIRS DONE BY SAFTELITE AUTO GLASS. AT THAT TIME THE WHOLE REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHEN I,WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT.

2014 F150 ECOBOOST: WHILE DRIVING ~50MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE SKIP AND REDUCED MY SPEED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THAT TIME, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT TO RESET ANY ELECTRONIC CONTROLS AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. SIMILAR OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST AFTER COMING TO A REST. OR THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN IN 5TH GEAR, IF I WAS ALREADY IN MOTION WHEN IT ACTED UP AND WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN EVEN IF I CAME TO A REST. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE LEAD FRAME RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2011-2013 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 11/13, BUT APPEARS TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL TIMEFRAME.

FORD HAS OBVIOUSLY MACHINED MANIFOLDS FOR THE F-150 THAT ARE LESS THAN RELIABLE AND LACK IN QUALITY. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE NOT HARDENED TO ENDURE ENGINE HEAT AND END UP WARPING. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST BOLTS TO BREAK, EXHAUST GASKETS TO BE DESTROYED AND IN TURN CAUSES LOUD NOISES AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR ON THEIR F-150 TRUCKS. FORD OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH 1,700+ VEHICLES THAT ARE SITTING IN SERVICE SHOPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR THIS VERY REASON. I CALLED FORD TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE MATERIALS JUST AREN'T HOLDING UP TO DRIVING CONDITIONS. FORD IS WORKING REDESIGNING THE MANIFOLDS AND RELEASING THEM FOR PURCHASE. HOWEVER, IT YOU HAVE AN ISSUE THIS LARGE AND HAVE ADMITTED THAT IT IS DUE TO YOUR OWN FAILURE TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT/PART THAT WILL ENDURE NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD. PERSONALLY, I DON'T DRIVE THIS TRUCK VERY OFTEN. IT IS STORED INSIDE AND TAKEN CARE OF TO THE EXTREME. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN A GARAGE FOR A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK (APPROXIMATELY) AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK I HEARD A LOUD "CLICKING" NOISE. I TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE TO SEE IF I COULD LOCATE THE NOISE. AT FIRST IS WAS JUST A FAST CLICKING NOISE ON ACCELERATION. THIS BECAME A LOUD CLICKING MIXED WITH A WHISTLING NOISE. THINKING IT WAS A BEARING IN ONE OF THE TURBOS, I TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION AND THEY FOUND THE BROKEN EXHAUST STUD AND DAMAGED EXHAUST GASKET. WHILE WORKING ON FIXING THE ISSUES, THEY FOUND THAT ALL OF THIS RESULTED FROM THE DEFORMED MANIFOLD.

WHEN I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST THE BACK WINDOW OF THE TRUCK SHATTERED. ON 11-24-20, I WARMED UP MY 2014 FORD F150 WITH THE REMOTE START FEATURE. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN, I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN PARK. THE BACK WINDOW DRIVER SIDE PANE SHATTERED. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD 8 TIMES, BUT THE RESPONSE IS CONTINUALLY THE SAME, "IT IS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY, NOT FORD." FORD HAS A SERIOUS PRODUCT FAILURE THAT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PERSIST FOR TOO LONG.
