Example complaints

“The rear passenger window rolled down and is stuck in down position. This is the second time this has happened in our F-150. It happened when we first bought the truck nearly two year ago and was fixed. I worry it was replaced with another faulty component. There have been numerous complaints of this happening and the issue is within the driver side door components.”
NHTSA complaint #11688154, filed 2025-09“The sunroof of the vehicle spontaneously shattered. At 65mph Glass rained down on myself (driver) and my occupants. Nothing impacted the roof of the vehicle. The sunroof just exploded, causing a loud bang, and prompting me to break quickly. Sharp shards of glass went all over the vehicle focused on the backseat.”
NHTSA complaint #11559289, filed 2023-12“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a recurring water intrusion issue with my vehicle, which poses a potential safety risk. Whenever it rains and the vehicle is parked outside, water consistently leaks into the passenger-side interior. While driving, especially during acceleration or braking, I can hear the sound of water moving within the passenger side area. Upon inspection, I have found water pooling in the front passenger footwell, where multiple electrical wires are located. …”
NHTSA complaint #11653843, filed 2025-04“Ford recall #25SB7 notice from dealer. Took it in since my moonroof has the exact problem mentioned in the recall notice. For some reason, my truck has no recall notice.”
NHTSA complaint #11771427, filed 2026-10“During rain and snow events, water leaks into the interior of the vehicle through the roof area. The intrusion appears to occur during moderate to heavy precipitation and results in water collecting inside the cabin. This moisture has led to a persistent, moldy odor throughout the vehicle. The presence of mold poses a health concern, especially for my children and family members who ride in the truck. We are concerned about the potential inhalation of mold-contaminated air and the associated respiratory risks. …”
