2010 Ford F-150

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F150 XLT ON 31MAY2010. ON 15 APRIL 2015, I NOTICED THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATING ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. SINCE THE WINDSHIELD HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACE, I ASSUMED THAT IT HAD A LEAK, AND HAD A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AGAIN ON THE MORNING OF 4 MAY 2015, WATER WAS ACCUMULATED ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD, AGAIN THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. ON 2 NOV 2015, THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS DRIPPING WITH CONDENSATION. I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BAD WINDSHIELD WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I LOCATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS INDICATING PROBLEMS WITH THE SATELLITE ANTENNA LEAKING AND THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT LEAKING INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, JOHNSON BROTHERS FORD WHO CONFIRMED THAT I DID INDEED HAVE A LEAK AT BOTH THE ANTENNA AND BREAK LIGHT, THE TRUCK WHILE ONLY HAVING 31000 MILES, WAS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEMS EITHER.I WAS QUOTED A COST OF $740. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AND ANTENNA. I REPLACED THE LIGHT MY SELF, AND THEY CHARGED $440.00 TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA, I INCURRED ANOTHER COST OF $304. TO HAVE THE CARPETS REMOVED DRIED OUT, FLOOR TREATED FOR ANY MILDEW, OR MOLD, AND REINSTALLED. I COMPLAINED TO FORD, THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT HAS GONE ON SINCE 1998. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. I ALSO HAD A GALLON OF WATER ON MY FLOOR AFTER THE CARPETS WERE REMOVED. SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY PLACED TAPE OVER THE DRAIN HOLES OF THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MADE. WHILE WE DID HAVE A LOT OF RAIN IN TEXAS THIS YEAR, WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE VEHICLE, IT STILL STANDS TO REASON NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEAKING THRU ANTENNAS, OR BREAK LIGHTS. EVEN THE TSB'S DO NOT WORK AS MY ANTENNA HAD SILICONE ON THE ANTENNA FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

I RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIVEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY 2010 FORD F 150 TRUCK WAS TOTALED. I WAS THE PERSON WHO CAUSED IT. HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE I WAS AT FAULT. THE CONDITIONS AND SYMPTOMS WHICH I ENCOUNTERED ARE CONSISTENT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I BELIEVE IT LEAKED INTO THE CAB. CO IS AN ODORLESS COLORLESS AND TASTELESS GAS. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS THE 4TH TIME I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVERY TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING THIS 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCK. ALSO, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY CHEST STILL HURTS!

ON THE MORNING OF 12/29/14, HE HAD A HEAVY FROST SO I USED MY REAR WINDOW DEFROST ON MY DRIVE TO WORK. DRIVE WAS APPROX. 10 MINUTES. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AT WORK, ALL GLASS WAS OK. WHEN I GOT BACK IN TRUCK TO LEAVE WORK, I LOOKED IN REAR VIEW MIRROR, I SAW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THREE PIECE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS STAYED IN THE FRAME AND DID NOT FALL OUT. I HAD TO SPEND OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY JUST TO FILE A CLAIM, AND IT TOOK THE GLASS COMPANY TWO TRIES TO INSTALL THE NEW REAR WINDOW AND REWIRE IT TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN ON THE WINDOW ALONG WITH THE WIRING TO THE WINDOW. WHY WILL FORD NOT STEP UP AND AT LEAST ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DEFROST AND OFFER TO FIX IT.

I LEFT FOR WORK IN THE MORNING AND I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST BECAUSE WE HAD A HEAVY FROST OVERNIGHT. WINDOW WAS FINE WHEN I GOT OUT OF TRUCK AT WORK. IT WAS A 10 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO TRUCK 10 HOURS LATER TO LEAVE WORK, I SAW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THREE PIECE REAR WINDOW WAS BROKEN. THE GLASS DID NOT FALL OUT OF THE FRAME SO IT WAS NOT FROM AN IMPACT. AIR TEMP STAYED JUST BELOW FREEZING ALL DAY. HAD TO SPEND ROUGHLY AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND MY FORD DEALER TO GET THE PART ORDERED. IT WILL BE FOUR DAYS TILL IT WILL BE FIXED. I JUST HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS THAT WILL CAUSE THE GLASS TO FALL OUT OF THE FRAME. I DRIVE MY TRUCK AT LEAST 6 DAYS A WEEK SO I CANNOT BE WITHOUT IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FUEL DOOR OPENED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LENS DURING HARD RAIN OR AUTO CAR WASH. ENOUGH WATER COMES IN TO SOAK THE BACK SEAT AND THE FLOOR. THEN THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE INSIDE THE CAB THAT THE DEFROSTER CAN NOT CLEAR THE WINDOWS NOR INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER'S VISION IS VERY EFFECTED. CALLED LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NOT A PROBLEM - PROBABLY JUST A PINCHED GASKET FROM CHANGING A LIGHT BULB. BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACTS. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
