rear defroster stopped working. turns out to be a know problem when you have a sliding partition in the rear window. The sensor to alert the system that the window is closed fails and the rear defroster will not turn on. ford has issues a repair order but since it was out of warranty they did not cover. only way to fix is repair the entire rear window. Overall I'm happy with the truck but the way they are handling this design flaw - this will be my last ford.

running board would not retract when put into drive. again needed cleaning and lubrication. Evidently this is a common problem with automatic running boards. Winter weather and off roading cause excessive grime and dirt to get into the pivot points. This extra drag acts like it hits something and activates the automatic safety retraction. Eventually they may fail over time and that repair is expensive.

Brake line rusted out. Was leaking.  Also the shop had me go under the truck to observe a rust-hole in the frame. Note that I bought the truck new in June 2013. I live in the heart of the area of heavy road salt but that is no excuse for my truck being so rusty. The bottom edge of the tailgate has rusted through from one side to the other. The back bumper has also rusted through. I have to wonder whether the truck would still give me good protection in a crash.

Erratic behavior from Transmission. Unexpected shifting causing short drive train to lock up and release. Speedometer would drop to zero reading while vehicle was traveling down the road. This went on for 3 months off and on problem. Would not throw a code so dealership didn't know what to repair. Owner video taped dashboard to prove problem to dealership. Owner researched problem online and provided dealership with diagnosis. Leadframe on transmission needed to be replaced. Dealer finally changed leadframe with most of the cost falling under extended warranty owner purchased at time of vehicle purchase
