2010 Ford F-150 visibility/wiper problems

“While driving on interstate with defog operating, I heard a loud pop and one of the rear window panels had shattered. Apparently this is a common issue, yet Ford has not issued a recall.”

“when i turned on the rear defrost within seconds the glass shattered please note the incident happened on 11.15.2021 the computer keeps putting todays date”

“VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY - I TURNED IT ON TO WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. WITHIN A FEW MINS, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AND THERE IS A BURN MARK AND MELTING OF THE TRIM IN THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE WINDOW WHERE THE DEFROSTER WIRING/SENSOR IS LOCATED.”

“WEATHER WAS 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. LEAVING WORK I TURNED ON MY REAR GLASS DEFROST AND ON MY 20 COMMUTE TO MY HOME ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY HOUSE AT AROUND 4:20 AM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. ALL I HEARD WAS A LOUD IMPACT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HITTING MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED UP TO MY HOUSE AND FURTHER INSPECTED MY VEHICLE THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND WAS STILL CRACKING. I LOOKED FOR AN IMPACT MARK BUT FOUND NOTHING. BED OF TRUCK WAS EMPTY SO ONLY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE REAR DEFROST MAY HAVE GOT TO HOT WITH COLD GLASS BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW.”

“2010 F-150 WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AT ABOUT 7 AM THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 15 F. THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AND ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN THE DRIVER ENTERED THE TRUCK THE REAR DEFROST WAS STARTED. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL PARKED AND ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE DEFROST BUTTON WAS HIT THERE WAS A LARGE POP. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE WINDOW, AND THERE HAD BEEN NO VISIBLE DEFECTS TO THE WINDOW PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE DEFROST BEING ACTIVATED IN THE COLD TEMPERATURE.”

“SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ON NOV 8TH, 2019 I STARTED UP MY 2010 FORD F150 PICKUP. I SAT IN THE TRUCK WHILE IT WAS WARMING. WE HAD FROST THE NIGHT PRIOR SO I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. NOT LONG AFTER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. VERY SCARY. THE GLASS STAYED INTACT PRETTY MUCH BUT IT WAS ALL CRACKED. AFTER I PULLED MYSELF TOGETHER, AS I WAS TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE TO HAPPEN, I WAS PRETTY SHOOK UP. I DROVE TO MENARDS TO GET SOME PLASTIC TO TAPE IT UP. AS I DID THE PIECES OF THE WINDOW STARTED FALLING OUT, BOTH ON THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE. THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MANLEY MOTORS IN BELVIDERE , ILLINOIS WHERE THEY DOCUMENTED IT, AND ALSO FILLED OUT A FORM AND SUBMITTED TO FORD CORPORATE. I ALSO CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND SUBMITTED A CLAIM. THE CLAIM NUMBER IS CAS24904981. MY 2010 FORD F150 IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY YEARS. NOT BY MILEAGE. I ONLY HAVE JUST OVER 50, 000 MILES ON IT. IT IS LIKE BRAND NEW STILL. THERE IS NOT A SCRATCH ON IT. IN FOLLOW UP WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE I WAS TOLD IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNTIL NHTSA PROVIDES A RECALL FOR IT.…”
