I HAVE A 2014 F150 FORD TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS. I WAS OUTSIDE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THUNK. I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND TO FIND WHAT IT WAS AND SAW SOMETHING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. LOOKING AT IT I FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BROKEN PIECE OF CURVED ROD ABOUT 5/8 INCH IN DIAMETER. LOOKING FURTHER I FOUND IT WAS OFF THE COIL OVER SPRING WHICH HAD BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A CLEAN BREAK WITH NO CRACKS IN THE METAL AND DID NOT LOOK LIKE THERE HAD BEEN ANY REASON FOR IT TO BREAK. THE TRUCK HAS 44000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THAT IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THAT THE METAL WAS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A COIL SPRING BREAKING LIKE THIS WITH SO FEW MILES ON A VEHICLE

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2017. IN 2018, OCCASSIONALLY NOTED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WOULD SWITCH TO OFF WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT, WITH SEATBELT FASTENED. APPROACHED MY DEALER WITH THE PROBLEM, THEY READ CODES AND FOUND NO FAULTS. DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP IN 2019/2020, A PATTERN EMERGED: WHEN VEHICLE FIRST STARTED AND PASSENGER PRESENT, PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATES ON. AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, INDICATOR GOES TO OFF. ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME, UNBUCKLING AND RETRACTING PASSENGER SEATBELT, THEN REBUCKLING, AND INDICATOR WILL COME BACK ON. IF THIS FAILS, TRUCK MUST HAVE IGNITION TURNED OFF BEFORE IT WILL RESET AND SWITCH AIRBAG ON. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE 2014/15 RECALL FOR ISSUES THAT MATCH THESE SYMPTOMS. ALSO TOLD THAT MY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY MAY NOT COVER A FIX (TO THE MAIN SAFETY SYSTEM??)... IT IS DEPENDENT ON SHOP INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS.

SECTION OF REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAS A SLIDING MIDDLE SECTION AND HEATED DEFROST IN THE GLASS.

THE TEMPERATURE WAS COOL OUT AND MY DRIVER'S MIRROR WAS FOGGED UP. I TURNED ON MY MIRROR DEFROST AND APPROX. 5 MINUTES LATER HEARD A LOUD BANG. I STOPPED THE TRUCK TO SE IF SOMETHING HAD HIT MY TRUCK AND FOUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE PORTION OF MY REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ISOLATED ROAD WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AT THE TIME AND NO HOMES IN THE AREA. THE WINDOW TINE KEPT THE GLASS IN PLACE AND THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE TINT WHERE SOMETHING PIERCED THE GLASS.
