I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON BUTLER ROAD 5 PM IT DOING 30 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BIG BANG SO I STOP THE TRUCK GOT AND LOOKED TO TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT I SAW NOTHING THEN I LOOK UP AT THE BACK GLASS I SAW THE RIGHT REAR GLASS WAS SHATTERED IT WAS ABOUT 42 DREGS OUT SIDE I NO DEFROSTED ON EITHER

TURNED THE BACK WINDOW DEFROST ON SINCE BACK WINDOW AND MIRRORS WERE ICED OVER. WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED. HAVE TONNEAU COVER ON BOX AND NO OTHER CARS AROUND. REAR DEFROST LIGHT INDICATOR NOW DOESN'T TURN ON.

TURNED ON REAR POWER SLIDER WINDOW DEFROST BUT DEFROST LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. HOWEVER, SHORTLY AFTER A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT WAS HEARD AND THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS FOUND TO BE SHATTERED. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 30S FAHRENHEIT AT THE TIME. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY RESPONDED THEY DO NOT REPLACE REAR WINDSHIELDS SO IT WAS REPLACED BY LOCAL AUTO GLASS VENDOR.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE USING DEFROSTER . DEFROSTER TURNED ON WITH REMOTE START AND REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH NO CONTACT. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER WAS ON AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GLASS JUST SHATTERED.

THE REAR DEFROST HAD BEEN ACTING UP NOT WANTING TO WORK EVERY TIME I'D TRY AND USE IT FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. WELL ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 7 I WENT TO WARM MY TRUCK UP AND TRIED MY DEFROST AND IT DIDN'T LIGHT UP SO I FIGURED WELL ITS NOT WORKING. SO AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICE THAT MY BACK GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE BACK GLASS. I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BREAK AND THERE WAS NO OTHER SIGN OF IMPACT. JUST OUT OF NOWHERE. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH INTO FORD F150S AND BACK GLASS BREAKS AND CAME ACROSS A LOT OF REPORTS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE IN FACT HAVING DEFROST ISSUES. . SO MY BEST GUESS IS THE ELECTRICAL IN THE HEATED GLASS SHORTED OUT OR SENT A MASSIVE POWER SURGE THROUGH THE GLASS CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. . EITHER WAY THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR.

TURNED ON REAR DEFROST WHICH I RARELY EVER DO. DRIVING DOWN ROAD A MINUTE LATER AND BACK GLASS SHATTERED ON PASSENGER SIDE. RIGHT BEHIND WHERE MY DAUGHTERS HEAD WOULD BE IF I HAD BEEN TAKING HER TO SCHOOL THAT MORNING. 78,000 MILES ON VEHICLE

2011 FORD F-150. TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST COUPLE MINUTES LATER WINDOW SHATTERED.

IN PARK OR DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPES WILL NOT TURN OFF ON THE OFF POSITION. I'VE SHUT THE ENGINE ON AND OFF AND THEY TURN ON AS SOON AS THE TRUCK TURNS ON. DO NOT KNOW HOW TO STOP THEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON MAY 17, 2019 FROM WORK. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.I HAD THE DEFROSTER ON CLEARING THE DEW AND NOTHING ELSE HIT OR STRUCK THE GLASS IT JUST BURST OUT OF NO WHERE.

AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT A SECURE POLICE DEPARTMENT PARKING LOT, ON MY APPROACH TO THE CAR I USED THE REMOTE START AND WHEN I ENTERED THE VEHICLE I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW, BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS SHATTERED. INSPECTION OF THE WINDOW I CLEAR OBSERVED THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE WINDOW WAS A BURNT MARK ON THE OUTSIDE. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE REAR DEFROST WHEN IN REMOTE START STATUS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO CRACK. RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, MANY FORD CUSTOMERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM

I STARTED MY TRUCK AND TURNED IN THE REAR DEFROST. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATING THE REAR DEFROST I WAS ON THE ROADWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED BUT OTHERWISE IN TACT. THE WINDOW FRACTURES COVERED THE ENTIRE WINDOW. I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND SMELLED WHAT I BELIEVE WAS WIRES OVERHEATED/BURNING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 9 DEGREES AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE REAR DEFROST LIKELY MALFUNCTIONED AND OVERHEATED THE WINDOW TOO QUICKLY CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. AT THE TIME THE DAMAGE OCCURRED I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT.

HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR COMMONLY FAILS PREVENTING DEFROSTER TO OPERATE, VERY COMMON WELL KNOWN PROBLEM.
