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. |
