Ford F-150 2014 had an electrical issue that caused it to go up in flames as I was driving it down the highway at about 60 miles an hour. I first smelled a burning odor, then I looked in my review mirror and saw smoke, then I started seeing flames in the back passenger corner of my back seats. By this time the truck was very smoky but I was able to safely pull aside to the shoulder of the highway. I made an attempt to open my driver's door, but it wouldn't open and I then broke the glass to open the door from inside out. As I exited my vehicle and walked around the back of the truck I grabbed a towel out the bed of the truck and got on the ground to try and stop the flames at that time I could see a wire burning between the bed and the passenger cab of the truck as it made loud popping noises, then the truck just burst into flames. I called 911 and they called the fire department, they came out on the scene and put the fire out.
Sunroof exploded while driving in the morning at 8am at 65 miles an hour. Nothing hit the sunroof, no over passes were anywhere near and nobody in the side of the road. The closes vehicle was more than 500ft away. Herd loud explosion like sound scared me to where I jerked the wheel and nothing immediately visible until I slightly opened the sunroof cover and noticed the sunroof was shattered. All windows were up and A/C was up. Temperature was in the 70's and sunny. I have no idea why this would shatter but it shattered almost right in the middle.
Back window exploded with no apparent cause after putting defrost on. Shattered on my 2 month old baby. This is a well known and documented issue with these trucks and there needs to be a recall right away not only did he almost get cut but I am out 1000 to replace the whole sliding rear window assembly!!
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While the vehicle was stationary, the rear driver's side door latch would not open when prompted from inside or outside the vehicle. Vancouver Ford in vancouver, Washington was made aware of the failure and stated that the failure was under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was unknown.
My door latch and striker are in need of replacement. The door rattles going down the road. The truck has never been in an accident that may have caused this. My concern is it seems to be similar to the problem with my Ford Fusion. The dealership in requesting $535 to repair. I believe this to be something that should be part of a recall. Drivers door
