I'm 67 years old and have been driving in Canada since I was 15, including over 30 years as a licensed mechanic. I've owned hundreds of vehicles—everything from my first 1953 GMC truck to my beloved 1957 Chevy Bel Air—mostly in northern Alberta, where we’d get at least a month of -40°C every...

Thank you for the offer, but no thanks I have these choices A: Live with it and hope I don't get any tickets. B: Load up a CC and slowly pay it off. C: Prospon our two-month Newfoundland to Victoria excursion for another year. or stop making payments and take the bus

It was the first time I turned on the defrost and went back into the house and that cost me $1,200 No fault of mine and everyone tells me they've never seen it before so yes I'm pissed. I'll just drive it now and have a story to tell everyone who will listen.

I am the biggest fan of EVs you can't shut me up by giving MANY rides to everyone even strangers. Open the frunk at every store ( wife keeps her bags in there ) Most I even offer them to drive it for a short spin. Now when I talk to ANYONE I will have a different conversation.

So you are saying that it wasn't caused by the hot defrost. ok so then the glass had to be defective. I saw it before with ice cars that are running until they are warm without the heater fan on and turn on the defrost the windshield cracks

I did not say I am 80 I am 67 and thought traveling would give me the best way to spend my retirement. NOT that that has anything to do with this post.

Yes so I have a dud

Correct! So mine must have been defective.

Yes I can show you cars from the 1950s or older with perfect glass. 75-year-old glass

The glass place I called said there were 4 different ones and needed my vin #

I bought the best extra warranty ( yes it cost more ) and if this is how Ford wants to be then no one can fault me for not wanting to stay with them.

Are you sure it's the same as an Ice F150? I think I read that the Lighting has some kind of noise suppression.

Sorry but I feel better that I am not alone :) Yes I will know longer be raving about this truck ( yes I love it ) but I will be thinking about trading it in on something other than a Ford.

I'm point is the Dealers ( I took it to one, but called to others )and Ford could not tell me why it cracked therefore I think it had to be defective or don't use defrost on a cold windshield. If I am the only one with this problem then mine was/is defective. I do hear what you are saying, but I...

So use your defrost at your own risk after 1 year or 20k?

If it was a chip I would have it repaired. I windshield should not crack for no reason. An Ice car worms up slowly whereas EVs don't. That is why it cracked... it's like like pouring hot water on a frozen cup or glass it will break. Ford should know this and have the heater come on less...

No, I do not I would have to pay more for it and I think my rates would go up if I were to file a claim. Also, I have a $1,000 deductable. :(

Hi everyone, I’m in a bind and could use your advice. Two weeks ago, at -7°C (19°F), I turned on the defrost in my 2023 F-150 Lightning, and within seconds, the windshield cracked. It starts at the bottom along the air vents in a U-shape and runs straight to the top. I took it to a Ford...
