Wiper recall however these totally quit working. Ford wont give a vehicle to drive. Vehicle is in my name and for son who reside in Colorado stationed at FE Warren Base in military. They said sorry we cant do anything at all Fords called even main ford line. He can't see out of windshield with current weather conditions. He will be AWOL if I don't go to base or field when this is his only transportation which is half his military income a month. Only way they said they would help was for him to pay $60 a day for rental and they will reimburse when truck gets fixed which parts won't be available for weeks or months. How does a military 21 year old afford $60 a day. I guess if he get killed they won't care either.

Rear middle sliding window shattered/blew out while driving less than 15 mph and braking at a stop light. No injuries as thankful my child was not in the car seat or with me at the time. Sounded like a gun shot.

I was driving and the engine cutoff auto start stop message popped up had to stop and put the truck in park then turn the key to restart engine.

The 10-speed automatic transmission started to hard downshift into 3rd gear causing the truck to lunge forward, and then shutter in 7th gear causing the truck to slow down while driving without warning. That progressed to lunging forward while the truck was being started, and then finally began to shift from 10th to 1st gear without warning while driving both at typical street speeds and also highway speeds. Until this week, while driving on the highway the transmission went into neutral and would no longer engage. This is after a dealer reprogrammed to the computer and an "overhaul" of several components in the transmission. My safety was really put at risk when the transmission would shift from 10th to 1st randomly, and when the transmission stopped working completely while I was driving on the highway. The problem was reproduced while driving with the dealer shop foreman, and he confirmed with the service advisor that all gear and gear shifting was messed up and the transmission needed immediate repair. No dealers within a 40mile radius (South Houston) were available to perform the work, and I was advised to keep driving the truck until an appointment was available in several weeks. No warnings were present until the transmission finally stopped working. All previous paperwork for repairs completed to date are in the truck, which is currently being repaired again. When I get the truck back I can upload repair documents.

The headlights on this model are not effective enough to see safely at night. I have trouble seeing pedestrians and wildlife. I have adjusted the headlights and seen several complaints online about this same issue. I spoke with a dealership about it and they stated it’s a common complaint they get as well, and they offered to upgrade my headlights to an LED model for roughly $2,000. In todays time, a brand new truck should have quality lighting. They are the dimmest lights I’ve had on any vehicle I’ve ever operated.
