Windshield washer does not work as soon as any dirt bugs etc obscure vision I must stop and clean windshield with water I carry inside. This becomes very difficult in high traffic situations. It has been like this since I bought the vehicle Ford says the part is under redesign and no date is available yet for a fix, it has been for over 2-3 months, yet they continue to sell new F-150S. Are they waiting for a large number of bad accidents before they remedy the problem?

I purchased a 2015 in August 2015. I took this into the dealer 2 weeks ago as the washer fluid pump would not work. I was told that the washer pump motor needed replacing. However, they could not tell me when this would be fixed. Apparently the washer pump is on backorder. I was told to use a "long squeegee" in the mean time. However, not being able to use the washer fluid greatly affects visibility in my state (wv) in January with the use of road salt. It has been 2 weeks today and I still have not been updated on when they may be able to resolve this issue.

Windshield washers will not spray when cold out. Tank if full of pure -20F rated fluid which is full and not frozen. Nozzles have been heated with hot water and still will not spray. Problem seems to be the check valve is made in such a poor way that it will not work when it's cold out was 20F today had a 3 hour drive on snowy wet roads with no washer fluid spraying. I know this was not safe but was hoping it would fix itself but never did.

Today, 1/17/16 on my way home I turned on the rear defroster but the light didn't come on so I assumed a fuse had blown or something. Then while continuing on my drive home, about 5-10 minutes, later I heard a loud sound like a gun shot and when I turned to see what it was low and behold the passenger rear window was shattered. Apparently this has happened to hundreds if not thousands of Ford trucks from 2009-2014 and something needs to be done about this. Us as consumers shouldn't have to bare the burden of the expense for repair of a known defective part, or as some of the dealers have suggested, file the claim with your insurance company. Here again, it is exactly these types of claims that will keep increasing insurance premiums for us consumers because large corporations like Ford will not step up and do what they know is the right thing and issue a recall.

I have been having an ongoing issue with my transmission, where it shifts rough or does not shift appropriately. When the truck shifts rough, I barely have my foot on the accelerator, where it will slam into gear causing the truck to jolt. I also have been experiencing the truck failing to downshift out of 4th gear while going uphills. While going uphills, the rpms will go below 1000, where the truck will begin to shutter as if it is going to stall. You are forced to press the accelerator in order for it to shift, where the rpms/turbo booster will soar. I have had the truck at the dealership for this concern, where they performed a software update and it did not fix the issue. I feel the transmission shifting rough could cause an accident, if the engine in fact stalls and you lose control of the vehicle. I also feel being forced to accelerate could cause you to strike the vehicle in front of you or lose control it this occurs while negotiating a turn etc. The panoramic sunroof allows water to pass the rubber seal and drain into the water track. I frequently have had the windows fog up from moisture inside the passenger compartment and the odor of mold. If you google "2015 Ford F-150 sunroof leaks", you will find 1000's of concerned Ford owners on forums experiencing the same issues, where Ford states it is normal for the sunroof to leak past the seal. I feel the sunroof is a health concern, as I believe mold may be growing in the truck and is being breathed in. I have been experiencing the seat back getting extremely hot while using the "cooled seat" feature. I feel this could cause a burn or fire hazard.

Carlite windshield - bought 2015 F-150 truck on Sep. 28th, 2015 and had less than 1100 miles. Stress crack from passenger a pillar running towards the driver's side about 5 inches and then down towards the cowl about 7 inches. I was P2232reviously plant manager at the Ford nashville glass plant where w/S was made and this is the result of high residual thermal stress. Ford warranty refuses after 4 submissions form the spradley barr (fort collins, co) dealership. I saw two more vehicles with the same type of stress crack in the lot, both 2015 used as loaner cars.

Quality control issue - loose side-view mirrors: This issue is not only a matter of quality, it raised a serious safety concern at the time. As I was driving away from the dealership (after purchasing this new truck) and increased my speed to over 55 mph, I noticed both of my side-view mirrors vibrating severely. They vibrated so badly that the images in the mirrors themselves were obscured to the point that the vehicles behind me were mere blurs. I took my truck to a local Ford dealership to have a problem assessed the very next day. Despite all of our efforts to reset the mirrors, it turned out that both units were missing something called a "tensioner, " or "tension spring." The side-view mirrors were so loose that you could walk up to the truck and literally shake them back-and-forth (with a range of motion up to a 1/4") with one finger, exerting no effort at all. Again, this is a serious quality concern and should've been identified and reconciled prior to delivery of the vehicle to the dealership. This tensioner component should have been installed in both mirrors prior to their being attached and connected to the body of the truck. This did not occur at the factory as it should have, nor was this issue discovered during the supposed quality checks that occur once the vehicles come off of the assembly line. When I contacted Ford about my concerns, I asked them to extend the warranty on the truck, because who's to say that there are not more quality-related issues that would arise after my factory warranty expires (there was a secondary qc-related issue on the truck that isn't worth mentioning here except to say that it was obvious and involved another missing part). The arrogance I encountered from several representatives on the phone was beyond the pale of anything I've encountered from the company that is supposed to be is reputable as Ford.

The chrome accents on the ac vents causes a glare on the driver and passenger windows. This happens during the daytime or the nighttime. It has been a problem since I took ownership of truck.

Front windshield cracked. Truck not moving, just sitting in the parking lot. I was in it. Nothing hit it. Very weird. I thought the whole thing was going to shatter. Brand new truck, only 627 miles on it. Any ideas?
