The sunroof tracks crack and break, thus making the sunroof inoperable and water will leak when it doesn't seal. They sent out a safety alert or something along those lines. Basically if your in the 36k mile period they will fix. But if you have over(I had 42k) they offer a two thousand dollar repair. I have talked to a lot of people and 50% have had sunroof issues. I took my complaint to ford and was told keep my repair receipt in case they make it a recall.

The driver and passenger seat massage do not work properly, the lumbar and seat portion work intermittently and for a shorter duration than twenty minutes (2017 ford f250 platinum). The vehicle wiper blade rate of action randomly increases and decreases on it's own. I was told today by the ford dealership in redding, california that a technical service bulletin had been issued for the seat massage problem, but that ford would not correct the problem unless I pay $800.00 for this repair. If ford is aware that the vehicle seats have this issue and know how to correct it, why am I being charged to correct it and make it right?

We were driving down the highway going 60mph. All of a sudden there was a loud bang and the rear sliding window exploded inside of the cab. We had our dogs with us lying in the back the glass flew into the back and even down our clothes. Nothing hit the truck. We immediately pulled over and got as much glass out of the car. It landed everywhere. It was very scary. The photo below is of the passenger side front seat. The glass blew down my shirt.
