Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Both rear passenger door locks failed while vehicle in motion, thus allowing doors to swing open while vehicle in motion.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the body shop for repair, the mechanic informed the contact that the quarter panels and chassis were rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
Rear window shattered as a result of using the rear window defrost. Vehicle was stationary.
When the 2 rear doors are locked, it is haphazard when they will unlock or open, either manually or from the inside. When I have children in car seats in the rear seats and I am unable to open either door it can be a matter of life or death in cases of emergencies. Not everyone is able to crawl from the front seat to the rear seats to get babies out of their car seats. The doors will not unlock with the front door panel controls or the remote key. It does not matter if stationary or in motion, the doors still will not unlock . The date of 5/01/2019 is an approximate date, as this has been an off & on again problem. Now that I have babies to transport, it needs to be addressed.
We were driving down the highway at 10:30pm going 55mph. All of a sudden, we heard a very loud bang that almost caused me to run off the road, thankfully I didn't. I pulled over to investigate and there was nothing wrong until I looked at the back glass. The back glass on the passenger side was completely shattered. Out of no where. Mind you, there was nothing wrong with this prior. I haven't even had this truck for thirty days yet and this happened. I was especially worried because my 4year old daughter was in the back seat, on the passenger side. She could have been seriously injured due to this.

The rear window shattered on the passenger side of our vehicle. I cannot see out of it. The vehicle was stationary. We did not see anything happen to it (person) via our security cameras. I am worried it will shatter. This seems to be a common problem as I have conducted research on the internet.
Rear door ajar. Sensor shows driver side rear door as opened, when it has been in fact closed, closed and locked, both with and without child lock engaged.
Leak developed behind the A/C compressor through the firewall causing a buildup of water under the floorboard on the passenger side and destroying the rugs. Leak had to be fixed and rugs all replaced due to mold andrew mildew. Happened over a period of time when the A/C was running.
