The battery will be drained overnight randomly. first time the truck was a year old. dealer replaced battery. over a year later, same thing. replaced battery. i replaced battery four months back and the truck has discharged the battery by the morning. completely dead battery. will charge fine and drive fine. no alternator issue. the radio / computer screen will display "battery saver" when the engine is turned off for no reason.
Went to drive pickup and check engine light came on, next low fuel light came on even thought the vehicle has a full tank of fuel. transmission would not shift, gauges are flipping back and forth. tried to shut vehicle off and it would not shut off once i did get it to shut off it would not restart.also all the warning lights on the dash were are going off. vehicle was in motion on the highway.
I was driving down the highway with my rear defrost operating. i smelled something burning that had an "electrical burn" smell. i thenheard a loud "pop". i looked in my rear view mirror and saw that my rear driver side back glass panel (sliding glass window) was shattered. this was especially concerning because my daughter was seated directly in front of the shattered glass in her car seat. i researched this problem and saw numerous issues with the rear window defroster in this model of truck. that explains the electrical burning smell.

Was having trouble starting my truck one day. cranking and cranking but not firing. sometimes it would eventually fire, sometimes it required a jump to get it going. took it into ford, they replaced the battery. didn't happen for a few more days. same thing. crank, crank, crank, but wouldn't start. did some searching online, and found similar situation regarding a burnt/melted fuse 27 (the fuel pump fuse). ford knows about this issue so much that they even created a part to move the fuel pump to a larger fuse. i'm glad this issue only happened while sitting still and i was able to get the fused replaced without incident. however, i would imagine that soon my vehicle would have stopped while traveling due to the fuel pump fuse completely dying. also seems like a fire hazard, or it could do further damage to the fuse box or to surrounding fuses. ford should issue a recall for this immediately.
I was completing a 3 hour drive of approximately 120 miles (i had less than 5 miles to go till i arrived at my destination) when my sensors started lighting up my message board and dash system. i was in the left turn lane to enter the on-ramp to us65 south when this happened so i pulled off to the shoulder to investigate. i had just put my truck in park when a car pulled up and said that my engine was on fire. when i got out to look, the fire was rolling out from under the drivers side wheel well. as well, there was either a fluid or melted plastic dripping down to the asphalt that was also on fire. the fire appeared to put itself out, for the most part, prior to the fire company arriving within the next 10 minutes. i had, what i believed to be at the time, recall work done by mike raisor ford in lafayette, in, less than 1 year ago. in that recall work, i thought the block heater was disconnected so as to prevent an engine fire such as this. now, i am having doubts as to whether this was ...
