This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This vehicle equipped with outside "signal" mirrors (red leds behind glass). The right side mirror has suffered a significant loss of reflectant material from the surface, reducing visibility to about 40% of original (satisfactory only in bright daylight). The left side mirror has begun to lose reflectant (currently about 10%). this was pointed out to the shop foreman at the dealer, but since the vehicle is out of warranty, he offfered no solution. Replacement would cost several hundreds of $ at Ford prices, difficult to find non-oem replacements. Shop foremena mentioned that he had heard of or seen this S few tiomes in past. I have owned numerous vehicles including several Ford and have never had this type of problem. I thought that it was a freak occurrence until the right side mirror began to fail. I believe that tis should be considered a safety defect and that Ford should have to replace these defective parts. Except for mileage, my vehicle would still be within the warranty period of 36 months. Thank you.
