A/C shuts off after 30-45 minutes of running cold. It’s clear from the amount of condensation after I park, that the evaporator core is freezing due to a faulty temperature sensor

Wipers failed to operate normally while driving. Wiper started moving very slow then stopped moving even with wet windshield. Upon research the problem was a seized passenger side pivot in the wiper linkage that required replacement of the Wiper Linkage assembly. No warning or noticeable problems until this occurred and vehicle was difficult to operate in rainy conditions.

The rear window just completely shattered on it's own. The glass pieces were still mostly connected to each other, but the entire glass panel was cracked into small pieces. The vehicle luckily was parked at the time. But, when my daughter got in the car, she touched the glass with her finger thinking it was ice, and cause a section to completely fall apart, with some glass getting on her (one of the pictures shows this hole). It was the coldest day we had in NJ in a number of years. The front of the truck was facing south and it was cold, but sunny (high temperature that day was 19F, low temp was close to 0F). Around 3:45pm, I needed to drive my daughter somewhere, so I remote started the truck, which I'm not sure if it puts the rear defroster on. It's not known if it cracked before I remote started or not. The rear window has a center sliding window panel, which that center panel was perfectly fine. It had snowed about 5 days before, and snow was still on the ground, but the truck had been thoroughly cleaned and driven since then, with no visible snow or ice anywhere on it. The entire rear window glass was in perfect condition before this, no chips in it or any issues. I gave details to the dealer on their online chat tool early this morning, which I was told someone would contact me back, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I had read online about many other people having the same thing happen with their F150 around the same year as mine, so I wanted to report this, as the window shouldn't just completely shatter, and appears to be a known issue.

Started driving, about 2 minutes in, I noticed an electrical burn smell, and turned to look in the backseat, and it was filling with smoke, and my two young kids started coughing. I rolled all windows down and pulled over as quick as possible, unloaded both kids from rear driver side door. Saw smoke billowing out from behind the car seat on the passenger rear side, so I circled around to that door and went to inspect, right before removing the car seat I heard a loud pop and took off running just to be safe. After about 5 minutes I returned to the truck to notice the entire back windshield was shattered, chunks of glass inside and outside of the truck.

Instantly after turning it on I smelt a strong electrical/burnt small. About 30 seconds later we heard a loud POP. When I looked in the rear view mirror, I saw the back window had shattered. It was very hot to the touch.

I have a 2015 ford f150. It is equipped like many others with a power sliding rear glass. The issue is the upper track for the sliding portion becomes unattached from the rear glass and falls forward. I've had this happen 2 times in the last 2 years. Specifically in the summer. The track is originally installed cheaply with 2 sided tape and a little adhesive. The local glass shop wants 85 dollars just to glue it back. I have seen multiple trucks with the same issue with the window taped up or just covered with cardboard. My concern, is if someone has an infant in the center of the rear seat with a rear facing car seat, the slide portion of the glass could come out and fall on the baby. Not to mention, it gets a little pricey to repair it every few years. The only solution from ford was to replace the back glass at my expense, which was around $1200 dollars the last time I looked into it. I believe this is a manufacturer design flaw that Ford should have to resolve and replace. I've seen way to many of these trucks with this issue for it to Not be a manufacturer problem. Thank you.

The sliding rear window assembly which is attached with 4 adhesive tape strips have come loose. The sliding window comes out of the frame and could become airborne if hit from the rear or in a front end collision. It is a very poor way to attach a sliding rear window and the failure rate is high. The bad part of this is most people are probably not aware of the problem other than the window frame will rattle sometimes when your on a bumpy road. It is a poor design and could be dangerous in any collision. The body and glass repair shops are aware of the problem on the rear windows of Ford pickups. This should be fixed with a recall before someone dies from the window becoming airborne in a crash
