“I turned on my rear defrost this morning. Left my driveway and got maybe a half mile and heard a loud pop noise. It blew a hole out of my back door on passenger side. I mean it blew a hole out of it. I have seen online that this has happened to several people with this vehicle.the rear defrost blew a hole in my window! I was driving down the road when this happened. It had been on for like 2-3 minutes when it happened.”
NHTSA complaint #11354374, filed 2020-09, 42,000 miles“The automatic traction control is too sensitive at low speeds and cuts engine back and brakes the tire where vehicle is stuck in snow. No off button even though operators manual indicates an off button if equipped is needed under these very conditions. Local Ford dealer claims all north american vehicles comes with no off switch. The electronics is great normally, but not so under these conditions. Have to be more aggressive as to not cause a traffic jam in inclement weather. I do not want to be more aggressive!!!!!”
