What 1,362 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel

TRUCK WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. REMOTE STARTED, SAT FOR 5 MINUTES IN DRIVEWAY. ENTERED TRUCK AND HEARD A POP. LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED DRIVERS SIDE PANE OF REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, APPARENTLY THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER OVER HEATS THE GLASS AND CAUSES IT TO EXPLODE. HAVING DOME SOME RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY F-150 OWNERS FROM 2010 RIGHT UP TO 2015. FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE GLASS. HA THERE BEEN A CHILD IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT IN THE VEHICLE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY FROM THE SHARDS OF GLASS. THIS IS A WIDE SPRED PROBLEM FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SHOWS.I IMPLORE THE NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DEFROSTER AND HAVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABSORB THE COST OF REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF WINDOWS AFFECTED BY DEFECTIVE DEFROSTERS. VEHICLE HAS 30K MILES ON IT, NOT ACCIDENTS, NO NEGLIGENCE BY OWNER

MY TRUCK WAS UNDER FORDS MANUFACTURES BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERS CAN'T FIX THEM WITHOUT THESE NEW SD CARDS. FORD SOLD THIS TRUCK WITH THE DEFECTIVE SD CARD AND I HAVE A LETTER FROM THEM SAYING THAT FORD WANTS TO SELL ME A NEW SD CARD FOR 175.00 FOR A FIX WHILE CLAIMING THAT IT'S FROM A THIRD PARTY YET THEY ARE STILL PROFITING FOR THE REPLACEMENTS.

MY GPS AND THE VOICE COMMANDS HAVE BECOME UNSTABLE.AND THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. AND THAT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN FAMILIES CAN'T GET HELP IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS CRASH. FORD USED TO SUPPLY THESE SD CARDS WHEN DOING MASTER RESETS FOUND ON THEIR WEB SITE BUT NOW THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE AS ACCORDING TO ONE FORD DEALER THEY STOPPED PAYING FOR THIS WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE THIS FIX COST TOO MUCH.

THE COOLANT IN MY VEHICLE HAD LEAKED OUT AT THE FIRST SIGN OF UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER HERE IN ATLANTA. I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO GET THE HOSES/ORINGS TO FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE FORD CO. REPORTED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT HAD THE SAME FAILING PARTS WERE TRYING TO ORDER DURING THE COLD WEATHER LAST WEEK. NOW THAT IS IS REPLACED, IT IS STILL LEAKING THE COOLANT OUT. MY MECHANIC SAYS LEAKING THIS MUCH COOLANT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO IT HARMING ENGINE/MOTOR AND VEHICLE FIRE. THE HOSES AND O RINGS LAST WEEK THAT THEY PUT ON MAY ALSO BE COMPROMISED., AS THEY ARE LEAKING TOO. SURE WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO ATTENTION OF FORD CO.
