“There was no accident, I am experiencing the same issue with my Ford Super Duty that was in a recall 22S51 but my VIN was not included in the recall. The back up camera on my truck is so cloudy you can barely see, Ford states they will not take of this as well as the dealership I bought the truck from.”
NHTSA complaint #11668074, filed 2025-06“We turned on our rear window defrost for the 1st time since we live in phoenix and had no real use for it. Within 2 minutes the whole rear window shattered dropping glass inside and outside the cab. My son was in the back seat. There was no warning that we are aware of. I have picture of the incident I can send. I need to get it replaced asap so inspection would have to occur within the next 24 hours. It has not yep been inspected by insurance or dealership. Insurance is replacing the glass tomorrow”
NHTSA complaint #11457694, filed 2022-03“While driving at around 45mpg I heard a very loud sound like a gunshot or a huge rock hitting my truck. When it was safe I pulled over to check for any damages. None where observed. The next day I heard wind noise and no windows open. I started to open the sunroof and heard glass breaking. I got home and looked on roof and saw a huge hole in panoramic portion of sunroof and 1000's of pieces of glass being held up by liner. No vandalism or accident caused this. If anyone in backseat they could have suffered considerable cuts.”
