Rear glass shattered due to rear defrost shorting out. Started truck after some freezing rain and turned on the rear defrost. Started to go down the road and about 10 mins later on the highway I hear what sounded like a shot gun blast. The glass had shattered but was still in place. I taped it up. I do not have the money to replace this. This is a design flaw that could cause a serious accident.
It was a cold morning in michgan and I turned on the rear defroster and started to work about 4 blocks from my house I heard what sounded like a gun shot. I could not see anything wrong at the time as it was dark. I proceeded to work as normal and when I came out to go home I noticed that the right rear glass in the rear window was shattered. There was shatter glass in the passenger seat thank goodness my son was'nt setting there like normal. I contacted the dealer and he said it was not covered under warranty and it would be 1200. 00 to fix. I have taped it up with a piece of plexiglass and am arguing with Ford. I researched on-line and found numerous complaints and decided to report to you.
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.
