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.
The Air Conditioning fails and windows fog impairing visibility. Ford dealer diagnosed the problem as the A/C evaporator sensor failure and estimated the cost at $2800 to remove the entire dashboard and all components. No warning lights or other indicators appear. The A/C evaporator apparently freezes over and block air flow through the vents. This is a problem many of these vehicles are having. I have included the ford service bulletin. It is available for inspection. Thank You
Back-up camera is not clear, I can't clearly make out objects when backing, even after cleaning the lens. This has been like this as long as I have had the truck.
My windshield wipers will come on in the slow position even though they are "Off". I cannot get them to stop. My wipers will continue to do this for a month or so, and then return to normal where I can control them. This has happened 3 times now. While this is happening, I have problems controlling the speed of the wipers. This only happens when the truck is running.
My drivers windshield wiper arm broke 4 weeks ago in the rain because the little key popped off. The wiper hit the driver behind me and I almost got into an accident. Today my passenger windshield wiper arm broke for the same reason. The little metal key popped off. This wipers are very flawed. That little key should be welded to the wiper. It was snowing and a very little snow caused my wiper arm key to break. Now I have to buy a whole new one. This is my second arm in 2 weeks. I have now replaced both wiper arms. This could have killed me, my family and others. Corners should not be but while making wiper arms. They can cause a visual hazard and result in death. Not smart! Please do a recall on these.
Windshield wipers will not completely shut off. Wipers come on approximately every 12 seconds after being turned to the off setting. Besides being irritating, it eventually will wear down the wiper blades and scratch the windshield which becomes a safety concern. Searching the internet this seems to have been a chronic problem with the combination wiper/turn singal switch on Ford F-150 dating back several years.
The wiper motor has failed. Yes, it is available for inspection. This is a safety issue as rain or snow cannot be cleared for visibility during inclement weather. No, it has not yet been inspected by the dealer. There are no warning lamps or indicators associated with the failure. It first started to appear as degraded performance (slow moving) in December of 2022 and has progressively gotten worse.
tHE WIPERS WILL STAY ON. THE REAR SUSPENSION IS RATTLING. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY TRUCK. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT WITH MY TRUCK. THE DEALER AT BBMOTORS CONFIRMED THE SUSPENSION RATTLING THE LAST TIME I HAD SERVICE THERE.
Back window shattered without any impact. The truck was parked in my garage. I started the truck, put it in reverse, and let my foot off the brake. As soon as I started moving I heard a loud bang and the back window was shattered. Not cracked but shattered into little pieces. If this would have happened when I was on a highway no telling what could have happened. A dealer said it was out of warranty and they don't do glass so they would farm it out to someone else and I would have to pay for it. I told them no thanks and had it replaced by someone of my choosing. Cost was less than my deductible so I payed for it out of pocket. The truck was parked in my garage and the temperature was in the low 80's at the time. I have no idea what caused the window to shatter like it did. The whole window shattered completely into little pieces.
There wasnt an incident yet, but it was made a law that after may 1st, 2018, all new vehicles need rear view visibility systems. Ford made their vehicles have backup cameras, but they are faulty and stop working. Then charge consumers thousands of dollars to fix a safety issue that should be a recall, free of charge. I am filing a complaint om behalf of thousands and thousands of Ford owners. This law went into effect may 1st of 2018, According to USDOT and the National Highway Traffic safety administration. What ford is doing is wrong/unlawful and they should have to follow the law just like everyone else (even being an automobile company).
The rear window spontaneously shattered while stopped at traffic light in South Florida I heard a loud bang and discovered the rear window was shattered. It was temporarily held in place by the laminate in the glass and window tint. It was approximately 90? outside, and the air conditioner was on. I inspected both interior and exterior surfaces of the window. They were unmarked. We called our insurance agent and they directed us to get it repaired by one of two companies they dealt with. The vehicle is currently undrivable. When I closed the driver-??s door upon exiting the vehicle the window pushed out further towards the truck bed.
Rear window fractured and exploded when opening and then closing rear drive side door. Original owner. Neighbors outside and didn-??t see anything unusual or anyone around vehicle and Erlo cameras didn-??t pick up any activity. Vehicle was in driveway closest to garage door.
Driving 35mph on flat straight road when rear sliding window exploded with no external forces applied. Huge noise shocked me and made me swerve into adjacent lane. Glass shattered all over the rear seats and floor of the vehicle. Immediately brought vehicle to Flood Ford in East Greenwich to be looked at. Service advisor said he had never seen that and because I was a couple months out of warranty they wouldn't be paying for the repair. Contacted Ford customer service same day and was told the same thing.
The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-250. The contact stated that when they closed their driver-side front door, the vehicle's rearview window suddenly shattered into many pieces. The contact called the dealer who had been in contact with the manufacturer regarding replacing the rear windshield window. The window had not been replaced as of yet. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,600
1. Rear Window Spontaneously Shattered 2. My seven years old daughter was in the back seat, glass remains reached even the front seats. 3. My wife was driving and she was not able to see the traffic behind her. She was very concern about my daughter safety with the broken window behind her. 4.Dealer had not been contacted. 5. 911 contacted, police inspected the rear window and created an incident number. -No warning lamps were turned on.
Vehicle was in the garage, parked. I got in started the vehicle, heard what sounded like wind chimes, got out, looked under the truck and saw glass. I then noticed the back window was shattered. There was never any impact to the window.
Both tracks on panoramic roof are cracked and plastic pieces found in track. Sunroof stuck in open position on the highway. Cannot close panoramic roof so highway debris is flying into vehicle. Have sand and road debris hitting passengers inside vehicle.
