I recently discovered a recall notification in my app regarding wiper corrosion, which has resulted in my wipers functioning very slowly regardless of the speed setting. This poses a significant safety concern, especially during rainy or snowy conditions in Michigan, as it substantially impairs visibility. After contacting Ford Motor Company and spending three hours on the phone, I was informed that this recall is applicable only in Canada. However, I am currently residing in the U.S. and experiencing related issues. Given the serious nature of this safety matter, I felt it necessary to bring this to your attention. Thank you for your consideration.

Transmission switching gears (downshifting)at highway speeds to lower gears causing the rear wheels to slide on pavement. Transmission will occasionally get stuck in 3rd or 5th gear at red lights causing dangerous interactions in intersections where the truck will not get upto speed fast enough to keep up with flow of traffic.

I had a check engine light come on for an oss sensor. Shortly after that started my truck would aggressively downshift to lower gears and lock up. I’m now having to replace the transmission.

TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT AND LOCK UP WHEN BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC. LOCKED UP WHILE IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH A FACTORY REBUILD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LAMPS THAT CAME ON DURING THESE OCCASIONS.

The original transmission was replaced due to hard shifting from 1-2 gear 3-4 gear when slowing down. I purchased a ford certified refurbished transmission and had the same issue with shifting from 1-2 and 3-4 gear. Ford replaced the parts under warranty. On both occasions I felt unsafe with staying in gear.

Shift hard while driving. Hesitates from the stop position to go when pressing the gas
