Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY TRUCK. IT EXPLODED SO HARD (LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST). IT THREW GLASS ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK, ALL OVER MYSELF. ONCE I STOPPED, I NOTICED THAT I HAD BLOOD ON MY SEAT. THE GLASS ACTUALLY WAS STUCK IN MY SKIN ON MY ELBOW. IT TOOK ALMOST 10 MINUTES TO GET IT OUT OF MY HAIR. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD OR GOING BY ME TO THROW ANY DEBRIS AT THE WINDOW. I HAVE PHOTOS IF NEEDED
"STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE" SCCM (FORD P/N 3F944) PLASTIC BODY BROKE, ALLOWING THE "MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH" (FORD P/N 13K359) TO SEPARATE FROM ITS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND BECOME INOPERABLE. THE SCCM PLASTIC BODY IS QUITE FLIMSY AND THE PLASTIC IS BRITTLE - INSTEAD OF JUST BREAKING, IT SHATTERED LIKE GLASS. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT NIGHT DURING A RAINSTORM 3-4-16. HAD JUST EXITED ONTO AN URBAN ARTERIAL FROM A FREEWAY. INSTANTLY THE WIPERS, TURN SIGNALS, AND HIGH BEAM BECAME INOPERABLE. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HOME (1 MILE FROM THE EVENT). NEXT DAY I WAS AMAZED AT HOW EXTENSIVELY THE PLASTIC SHATTERED, HAVING NO RECALL OF TREATING IT HARSHLY - JUST USING THE DEVICE IN THE NORMAL FASHION.
