All electric devices and warnings having to do with the left rear passenger door have shorted out due to excessive wear from repeated opening and closing of the door. Inspection of the harness immediately adjacent to the door frame shows excessive wear and broken wires. Possible confusion to the driver from unsafe dash warnings and false warnings that a rear passenger be seated next to a door that is not properly closed. Dome lights may not extinguish during driving. Electrical fire hazard. Required fix is Ford replacement part #9L3Z-14631-CAA. Internet search has shown this problem to be wide spread among F-150 crew cab back doors.

I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN MY 2010 FORD F150 PLATINUM. IT HAD SNOWED THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I HAD CLEANED THE WINDOWS AND TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER, INCLUDING THE REAR DEFROSTER. I WAS RUNNING THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 15 MIN WHEN THE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO SMOKE AND A SMALL FIRE, BURNING OCCURRED BEFORE THE GLASS IN THE RUBBER SEAL (OUTSIDE). I THREW WATER ON IT WHILE MY WIFE AND KIDS (11, 9, AND 3) EVACUATED THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO CONTAIN IT, BUT THE WINDOW CRACKED DURING THE BURN/FIRE DUE TO THE HEAT. MY WIFE WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT AS THIS HAPPENED. WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SAID THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY BUT TO BRING IT IN AS THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY WERE AWARE OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TODAY MONDAY JANUARY 18TH AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. NOT ONE DID ANYONE ASK FOR THE WELFARE OF MY FAMILY NOR DID THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT THE SITUATION OF ONE OF THEIR PARTS/VEHICLES CAUSING A FIRE AND POTENTIALLY INJURING OR WORSE CAUSING DEATH TO ONE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE. THAT MY VIN HAD NO RECALL LISTED AND THAT WOULD NOT COVER ANY REPAIRS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND READ ON NUMEROUS FORD FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH 2009-2012 FORD TRUCKS. ALL WITH THE SAME EXACT BURN/FIRE LOCATION AND EXACT REAR WINDOW (FAR RIGHT) CRACKING. THIS IS CONCERNING THAT FORD IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT AND LOOK OUT FOR THE WELFARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. I WOULD UNDERSTAND A MECHANICAL ISSUE AND A PART BREAKING DOWN BUT I SHOULD NOT FEAR THAT MY VEHICLE WILL CATCH ON FIRE AND CAUSE HARM TO MY FAMILY. THANKFULLY NOTHING WORSE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND I BUT IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR FORD TO ASSIST WITH THIS.

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING RANDOMLY, RADIO AND 4 WAY FLASHERS WENT ON. AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND REMOVING THE KEY, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED IT TO A DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD "SMART JUNCTION BOX", AND REPLACED "D MODULE".

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, ALSO ALL GAUGES ON DASH GO TO 0 (LIKE WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF) AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND BLINKERS STOPS WORKING, THE FAN CONTINUES WORKING. THE ENGINE,BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. SOMETIMES IF YOU HIT THE DASH WITH YOUR FIST EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION. GOOD LUCK FIGURING THIS OUT BECAUSE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T.

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE FAULTY PART WHEN THE TIME COMES. ADDITIONALLY IN THE PART YOU WHEREIN YOU ASKED FOR THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT KNOCKING AND VIBRATION EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE.

THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I DID HOWEVER SEE AN ARTICLE IN CARS.COM STATING THAT FORD WAS REPLACING THIS FREE OF CHARGE.
