NHTSA Complaint about UNKNOWN OR OTHER filed April 15, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558228 (ODI reference 11196574) concerns a 2014 FORD F-150 and was filed on April 15, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2019. The vehicle had 59,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as unknown or other, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar unknown or other failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES ON MY WAY TO WORK, AND AS I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP, SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT. I GOT OUT AND REALIZED MY REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. I HAVE THE THREE PIECE, SLIDING WINDOW WITH DEFROST. THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SHATTERED. NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXPENSIVE WARRANTY, NOR COVERED BY FORD AS A RECALL, NOR COVERED BY INSURANCE WITHOUT A DEDUCTIBLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, NO ROUGH ROADS. NOTHING.

Our truck also has a blank or distorted screen when using the rear backup camera. It happens quite often.
