2016 FORD F-150 Visibility/wiper Problems

Back up camera failure the day after I bought the truck from a dealership. With the vehicle lifted in the rear and the blind spots it has mirrors only do so much before you have to open the door while backing up just to make sure it’s good enough or you aren’t sticking out while parked. It hasn’t been professionally inspected. No lights but it started as a black screen with green lines and eventually turned to a bright blue screen that is blinding at night when trying to back up.

The window has little specs between the glass it’s very hard to see when the sun is blaring on it .its not anything on the window Sheild or on the inside glass it’s between the glass.

THE WINDSHIELD HAS TINY SPEC BETWEEN THE GLASS NOT A SCRATCH ON WINDOW OR CHIPS WHEN ITS REALY SUNNY OUT YOU CANT SEE IT REALLY HARD.THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AT NO CHARGE.ITS AN ACCIDENT READY TO HAPPEN.

Driving through thunderstorms the rear sliding window popped out from the bracket. The top bracket came loose allowing the window to pop out. This top bracket was fastened with 4 strips of 2 sided tape. Had to pull over and tape the window & bracket.

Rear camera image becomes distorted or inoperable during reversing. Discovered recent a recall covers many similar vehicles however not my specific vehicle despite having the same issue.

The windshield wiper linkage could corrode and seize. If this happens, the windshield wipers may not work. Windshield wipers that don't work could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

When operating the turn signal and using the wipers on delay, I smelled a plastic like burning smell thinking it was the wiring in the controller arm. This happened several times and eventually the wiper runs 100% on the time delay with no way to turn off except by pulling the fuse. I can operate the normal speeds of the wipers when it rains if needed but I still get a smell sometimes. I have not had the issue looked at but will next week at an independent repair shop. I'm concerned maybe an electrical issue could cause a fire at some point in time.

My F150 2016 rear glass shatter for no reason. it was parked in driveway and when I came out of morning.

Got into vehicle and before starting window just shattered. No issues prior with the rear window just random and for no apparent reason it shattered from inside out.

The windshield wipers are stuck on the slowest, intermittent speed and won’t turn off. This is a known issue.

Intermittent wiper operation stop working. Yes it is available for inspection. Had to operate wiper operation manually. No! Not confirmed. No inspection by others. Unknown. Just skip, then stoped intermittent operation.

The rear window shattered spontaneously after using remote start. Problem has been reported a lot with 2015 and newer F150 trucks.

On a morning in the 30s, remote started the truck and shortly after heard a pop sound. Walked out a few minutes later to find the back windshield had shattered sitting in my driveway.

I was driving at a slow speed on a dirt road directly into the sun when it was just rising. The conditions of the sky were slightly hazey. The entire windshield turned into a bright white light. (from right to left and top to bottom covering every square inch of the windshield) I could no longer see outside in front of me. I stopped. It was brighter than the sun 100 fold. No matter where I moved, the bright light of the windshield did not allow me to see. I had to roll down my window and place my head outside the vehicle to keep from driving off the road and into a different direction about a mile up the road. After going in a different direction everything was all right. I am concerned for other drivers that they may encounter this similar situation possibly causing an accident. My conclusions were: 1. The direct sunlight into the multiple star pits caused from highway/roadway gravel onto the windshield combined with windshield wiper fluid created the bright light that made the vehicle unsafe and undrivable. 2. The angle positioning of the windshield had something to do with the bright light... 3. The use of armoural on the dashboard as a preservative caused a chemical reaction onto the inside of the windshield (greasing the inside of the windshield contributing to the flash of bright light across the windshield). I will keep the windshield for 72 hours for your inspection. I plan on having the windshield replaced. This is a very dangerous situation.

This afternoon when it started to rain I turned on my wipers only to discover they would not turn on. I managed to get off the road and even tried swapping fuses, but the wipers still wouldn’t turn on. I had my child in the car and this was a very dangerous situation! Ford is telling me that the wiper recall doesn’t cover my truck. Help!

The rear sliding window mechanism failed. The top track for the window was poorly affixed and has come off of the rear cab leaving the window hanging and unattached.

Upon entering my truck, I noticed the rear (powered) window seemed to be open, despite leaving it in the closed position. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the glass and trim were not correctly seated and it appeared as though the adhesive that holds the parts had failed (true cause unknown as I didn't observe the occurrence). This is a safety issue because 1) I have a young child who rides in the rear seat of the vehicle, and the glass moves freely since it is off-track. 2) the electric components are still working, and if my spouse (who doesn't drive my truck often) were to forget there was an issue, moving the glass which is not correctly articulating in its track could cause it to break (I am uncertain as to whether or not it is shatter-resistant). 3) we have had a lot of rainy weather, and due to the exposure of electrical components to the weather, could cause a short or electrocution if touched. 4) the glass could be easily pushed inward or aside from outside of the truck leaving it more vulnerable to break-in or theft. This issue is currently available for inspection upon request however, I will be getting it repaired within the next few days as it cannot wait. I have not yet had a dealer confirm the issue, nor had it inspected by any other party. I am aware of at least a few dozen 2015-2020 Ford F150 owners having this problem, it seems to be a known issue among owners of these vehicles. There were no warnings or vehicle generated messages. I respectfully request this issue be investigated because of safety concerns and evidence of widespread component failure. Thank you for your time.

The windshield wipers seem to work intermittently. I turn the wipers to its highest setting and it does not run. It seems to be working with the rain sensing but only after passing the first tick on the wiper arm.

2016 F-150 XLT V8 windshield wipers run uncontrollably with key turned on, can't turn wipers off, had to pull fuse. With wipers inoperable truck is operating unsafely with reduced visability. I changed wiper relay and turn signal stalk and problem persists. I called FMC customer service and they could not assist. Ford dealer made appt 4 weeks from now.

On 3/11/2023, I used my vehicles, 2016 Ford F-150 Platinum, remote start feature before leaving work. When I got in my truck to go home, I noticed that the rear window of my vehicle was shattered. After some further investigation, it appears the rear defroster heat element malfunctioned, and shattered the rear window. This caused glass particles to circulate within my truck, as there was nothing protection wind from coming in the rear window area. Upon further research, it appears that this has happened to numerous other vehicles of similar make/model/year. I have contacted Ford and am awaiting their response. This is a safety feature and a malfunction of their vehicle, therefore they should be responsible.

Wipers will not shutoff, continue to wipe at the slowest setting. This is occasionally intermittent and sometimes does not start to be an issue until the wipers are engaged once, then they will not shutoff.

Was told the Steering Wheel Control Module needed replaced. Was driving and the blinkers stopped working, window washerfluid button doesn’t work, and anything pertaining to the hazard switch is not working. This is very dangerous to not have working blinkers and windshield wipers not working as they should. Was told that the part is on back order until December or January. Hopefully we will see it before that since it’s a primary vehicle and I don’t feel safe driving it with my children in the car.

We discovered water in the glove compartment after rain. The passengers identified headliner has clearly had water issues prior to our purchase of this vehicle used. We applied silicone caulking to the top, passenger side windshield. After further rains, the water seems to be collecting under the dashboard and spills out when turns are made or velocity changes. Further silicone caulking of the windshield may be preventing leakage, but we are not fully assured of that.

Rear window spontaneously exploded on July 8th around 11:00am. My truck was parked and not driven for two days. The rear window exploded and shattered. The glass was everywhere, In the truck bed and all over the cab. The seats and carpet have shards of glass embedded in them. I called Tom Masano Ford in Shillington PA. Spoke to Lydia a service advisor. She told me that Ford would not cover the repair/replacement of the rear window. She stated that Ford would not take any responsibility for this safety issue. There was no warning lamps, messages, ect prior to the window exploding. We have an appointment at Tom Masano Ford on Monday July 18th.

Front differential grinding when driving. Ford Replaced IWE check valve and problem came back about a month later. Windshield washer fluid pump failed.

2016 F150 47,000 miles. Rear glass shattered for no apparent reason, impairing rear vision. This is a known documented problem for thousands of owners have complained to Ford with no resolve unless it is under warranty.

we bought this used truck from the ford dealership only 3 months prior! the car max report and other research we did before buying showed 0 issues like this with the truck. we used auto start, which does turn rear defrost on max, leaving a store parking lot. driving through parking lot pulling up to stop light less than 5 minutes after starting truck and as we begin to slow down we heard a terrifying loud explosion sound. we turned around and the entire rear windshield had shattered into tiny glass pieces. some small pieces of glass hit us and some was on the backseat and on the truck bed cover. there were no significant holes of any size or items around the inside or outside of the truck that could have caused the damage. thankfully we were slowing down while driving otherwise we could have been in a wreck with how loud the sound was! dealership we bought it from refused to acknowledge the issue or even help pay for damage! no warning lights or anything else showed up before or after it happened. we did our reasearch after to find what caused it and now it is obvious based on others reported experiences that it was from the rear defrost being on thanks to the auro start function. we still have not had it fixed since quotes from dealership and 3rd party places without insurance are around $700-$1000. with insurance we would have to pay a $500 deductible and they would cover the rest. we have a powerslide window on the rear windshield to which increases the cost too! we even paid the dealership the extra several hundred dollars for the extended warrenty when we bought the truck and they refuse to cover anything with glass! no resolution yet just trying to get Ford to fix their own defect issues by continuing to contact them.

Rear window shattered while sitting in the driveway. Vehicle was on and running at the time warming up

The line that sprays the windshield washer fluid freezes up ALL THE TIME when it is cold out. This makes it almost impossible to see at times. I end up having to pull over on the side of the road and try to get it working again. The thing I found that works the best is pinching the hose in different areas and then pouring washer fluid on the line through the spaces in the cover. I was out for the last three hours and it never worked a single time! This is EXTREMELY dangerous to both myself and my passengers (which includes my wife and 10 year old son)...but also to every other driver or pedestrian out on the road. Every time I take it into a Ford dealership they claim not to know anything about the problem and they don't know how it can be fixed. I know how it can be fixed. Run the hose on the INSIDE of the hood like every other vehicle so that the engine heat can keep it warm. Instead...Ford runs it in this plastic cavity in between the hood and the windshield. And if it's not bad enough that it's exposed to the cold....they then put vent slits in the housing even further exposing it to the elements. The fact that washer fluid, that is designed not freeze in the first place, is somehow freezing in the lines so neither nozzle works is crazy to me. I have never had this happen on a vehicle before, but is a CONSTANT problem with my Platinum F-150.

Windshield washer fluid line (under hood) constantly freezes up- causing sprayers not to spray which is EXTREMELY dangerous from a visibility standpoint. Windows become quickly caked with slush and dirt from wet/ snow-filled roads. This happens multiple times, regardless of the type of windshield washer fluid that is used. Husband constantly needs to stop/ get out to correct the issue. Husband has taken our vehicle into one auto repair shop- they were unable to correct the issue. Spoke w/ another this weekend and the auto repair tech said it is a known issue and he actually has the same issue w/ his truck. He wasn't aware of a fix. He stated that he actually carries around extra water bottles so he can spray his windshield at stop signs when the windshield becomes hard to see through. My husband is not a mechanic-- but he believes the issue may be the placement of the windshield washer fluid line. Please google this issue-- there are multiple complaints online.

My name is [XXX]. My girlfriend and I bought a used 2016 F-150 truck back in July 2021, about 3 months earlier. We were driving yesterday (Oct 19, 2021) out from a Panera parking lot and suddenly, all we heard was a loud bang, almost like a gunshot. We did not know what it was originally so we looked around and saw the rear window had exploded into million pieces and shattered. Luckily, we did not have any pets/children/people sitting in the back, otherwise this would be a trip to the emergency room as the shatters were all over the back seat and inside the truck bed. When we came home, we looked online and found multiple incidents that this happens with the F-150 and Ford has not issued a public recall or done anything to prevent it. We called our dealer that we bought the truck from and they denied/pretended to not know what we were talking about and gave us a 3rd party to get a quote to repair the glass (which we found out it was almost $1000!) We tried and called another Ford dealer, and alas, same thing happened. They blatantly denied and pretended that they did not know or hear anything like that before, even though, if you do a quick google search, thousands of owners had had this issue! This is a safety issue and Ford needs to own it and do something about it. For us we were lucky to not transport anyone with us, otherwise I would imagine pieces of glass would be implanted in faces, eyes, bodies,...The vehicle that we were driving is in top shape and insured. All maintenance is done and up to date, even recalls have been done on the truck. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Rear window glass spontaneously shattered. Sounded like a gunshot when it happened. Defroster was on. There are numerous instances on various Ford forums of this problem having occurred on F150s

1. THE WIPERS WILL NOT SHUT OFF. i HAD T PULL THE FUSE TO GET THEM TO STOP. aS A RESULT, THE WIPERS LEFT SEVERAL SCRATCHES ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. 2. THE DRIVERS SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT FULLY EXTENT TO THE FULL HEIGHT SIMILAR TO THE PASSENGER SEAL MAXIMUM HEIGHT. AS A SHORT PERSON THIS MIKJES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. ADDITIONALY, THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SEAT HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK.

VEHICLE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF DESPITE BEING OFF ON THE WIPER COLUMN.

I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE AND A FEW MINUTES LATER I LOADED MY DAUGHTER INTO HER CARSEAT AND BEGAN DRIVING. I DROVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND STOPPED TO GET OUT WHEN I REALIZED I FORGOT MY WALLET INSIDE. AT THAT TIME, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I HEARD A LOUD SMASHING SOUND. I LOOKED BACK INTO THE DIRECTION THE SOUND CAME FROM AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND SOME GLASS HAD FALLEN ONTO MY DAUGHTER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEN FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND NEITHER COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGED MY CONCERN. FORD DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM ME BEFORE THEY DISCONNECTED MY CALL.

THIS EVENING ON 1/28/2021 AT 6:55PM, WHILE PARKED AT A SHELL GAS STATION IN ST CHARLES, IL ABOUT TO GET GASOLINE, THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS A VERY LOUD BANG, FOLLOWED BY A BURNING SMELL. THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS NOT TURNED ON, THE INSIDE CABIN WAS SET TO 72 DEGREES FARENHEIT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE BUT I KEPT THINKING, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE WAS GLASS STREWN ABOUT THE INSIDE AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED THE SHELL STATION LOCATED AT 2500 E MAIN ST, ST CHARLES, IL IN AN ATTEMPT TO ACQUIRE THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE WHICH SHOULD SHOW THAT THERE WAS NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE OR IMPACT. ADDITIONALLY I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH A FRIEND AT THE TIME WHO ALSO HEARD THE EXPLOSION. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STATIONARY.

I REMOTE STARTED THE TRUCK WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, WHILE I GOT MY SON READY FOR DAYCARE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WAS RAINING AND ROUGHLY 35 DEGREES. ONCE MY SON WAS LOADED INTO THE CAR SEAT I CLOSED HIS DOOR AND HEARD THE WINDOW CRACK. I LOOKED BACK TO SEE THE BACK REAR WINDSHIELD HAD SPIDER WEBBED AND SHATTERED. THE GLASS WAS BLOWN FROM THE INSIDE OUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF WERE THE DEFROST STRIP HAD ARCED/SEPARATED CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS ON THE EXACT SAME MODEL OF TRUCK. I WAS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE WAS TO PULL THE DEFROST FUSE.

WHILE DRIVING IN A REMOTE AREA NO TREES, PEOPLE OR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE WINDOW, WHEN THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED. THE EVIDENCE SEEMS TO POINT TOWARDS THE REAR DEFROST HEATING ELEMENTS GETTING TOO HOT. ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE HEAT DEFROST WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES 55 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THE FIX IS NOT COMPLETE YET BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT SAFELITE AUTO TO GET THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I CALLED FORD, THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR IS $679.00.

SAME ISSUE AS REPORT 11308430 - ACTIVATED REMOTE START WITH TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY; WHEN I CAME OUT TO DRIVE AWAY, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. THE CLIMATE SETTINGS ARE SET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT FOR REMOTE START. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE DEFROSTER CONNECTION ISSUE MENTIONED BECAUSE THIS WAS A WARM SUMMER DAY AND THE DEFAULT SETTING INDICATES THAT THE DEFROSTER SHOULD NOT HAVE ENGAGED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAW NO EVIDENCE THAT IT DID. THE TRUCK IS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED, BUT FORD CLAIMED THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE GLASS, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY, THUS FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR COST.

I GOT IN MY TRUCK THIS MORNING 5/24/2020 CLOSED MY DRIVERS DOOR AND HEARD A LOUD POP LIKE A GUN SHOT. I LOOKED BACK AND MY REAR GLASS EXPLODED. GLASS WENT EVERYWHERE. THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN ANYWHERE FOR 3 DAYS. THE TRUCK HAS 42000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAD 38 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2018. I WENT AND GOT IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE SLIDING GLASS IN THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. THE TRUCK HAD UNDER 20000 MILES. FORD WOULD NOT COVER IT. I HAVE READ ARTICLES THAT STATE THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE DEFROSTER GETTING TO HOT AND SHATTERING THE GLASS. ALL I KNOW IS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS FOR THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING EACH TIME. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHERS FREEZE UP AND BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32F EVEN WHEN USING RAIN-X. EVEN IF THEY THAW OUT FROM ENGINE WARM UP THEY CAN REFREEZE WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 32F. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS FAIL DURING PERIODS OF SNOW AND ROAD SLUSH IF BELOW FREEZING BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE CLEANED.

WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN SUNROOF (PANORAMIC DUAL PANEL) AND HEAR A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY TERRIBLE GRINDING AND CRACKING NOISES. AS THE GLASS PANEL RETRACTED, A PIECE OF PLASTIC FROM THE TRACKS SHOT OUT AND STRUCK ME IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY I TRIED TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. IT WOULD CLOSE ABOUT 80%, STOP, THEN FULLY RETRACT. DUE TO RAIN, I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DEALER TO GET THE ROOF LOOKED AT. FORD DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUNROOF TO THE VENT POSITION AND DIAGNOSED BROKEN TRACKS.

I RECENTLY WAS ON A 1.5 HOUR TRIP WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT ABOUT +20 DEGREES F. I NEEDED TO SPRAY WASHER FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIQUID WOULD NOT PUMP. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION AND PARKING OUTSIDE WITH NO SUN; I WENT TO TRY THE WASHERS AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR 20 MINUTES; THE WASHER WORKED FINE. I PUMPED THE CONTAINER DRY BY REPEATEDLY ACTIVATING THE WASHER TO ATTEMPT TO FLUSH ANY OLD FLUID OUT OF THE SYSTEM. I THEN REFILLED THE WASHER WITH -30 F RATED FLUID AND PUMPED SOME OF THIS THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT OVERNIGHT I TRIED USING THE WASHERS WHILE THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT +20F AND AGAIN THE WASHERS WOULD NOT PUMP FLUID. I KNOW THE FLUID IS GOOD, IT IS BRAND NEW AND FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER. THE FLUID IS LIQUID IN THE WASHER FLUID TANK IN THE TRUCK. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM IN THIS TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150 PICKUP THAT EXHIBITED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON WET WINTER ROADS.

THIS MORNING STARTED CAR AND TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST. LEFT CAR FOR 5 MINUTES TO WARM UP. WHEN I CAME BACK CAB WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I CUT ENGION. WHEN SMOKE CLEARED I SAW THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR WINDOW PANELS WERE SMASHED. AFTER GOOGLING THIS IT TURNS OUT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST MECHANISM OVERHEATS AND SHATTERS WINDOWS.

AFTER USING MY WINSHIELD WIPER ON 09/04/2018 THEY DO NOT TURN OFF. ANY TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ENGAGED, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, THEY FAIL TO PROPERLY TURN OFF AFTER USE AND CONTINUE TO STAY ON FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME OR UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, WHERE THEY CONTINUE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. THIS HAS BECOME A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY DURING CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF WIPERS OR WHEN THE USE OF WIPERS CAUSES A LARGER ISSUE BY FURTHER SMEARING SUBSTANCES THAT CANNOT BE SAFELY REMOVED BY THEM SUCH AS OILY LIQUIDS OR OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT REQUIRE A DIFFERENT WAY OF REMOVAL. THERE IS ALSO THE RISK OF WIPERS NOT SHUTTING OFF DURING CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS DURING A CARWASH WHERE THEY CAN BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND RENDERED INOPERABLE WHEN ACTUALLY NEEDED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER.

WASHER FLUID FREEZING WITHIN THE LINE BETWEEN THE BOTTLE AND SPRAY NOZZLE. ALTHOUGH WE ARE USING WHAT IS RATED AS -27 DEGREE FLUID, THE LINES ARE FREEZING WHEN THE TEMP DROPS TO AROUND 13 DEGREES. THIS HAS CAUSED A REAL SAFETY HAZARD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASION WHEN TRYING TO WIPE AWAY SALT SPRAY AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS THE WINDOW SMEARS AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, GET SNOW OFF THE GROUND TO HELP CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. I KNOW TWO OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING. FORD HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AVAIL TO THEIR TECHNICIANS TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION (TSP 16-0082) BUT I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES.

Mileage: 125,000

WHEN THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING, THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WILL NOT SPRAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME IS GETS COLD. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE NOZZLES ARE CLEAR AND THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF WASHER FLUID. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRYING TO DRIVE WHEN YOU CANNOT CLEAR THE SALT OFF YOUR WINDSHIELD TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR AT A STAND STILL.

Mileage: 18,000

WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE AT FREEZING, DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ALSO FREEZES EVEN THOUGH RATED FOR -40 DEGREES. REPAIR WAS MADE BY FORD TO DOOR LATCH BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. TYPICALLY, CAR HAS BEEN PARKED IN COLD WEATHER. SEE JOB #2 ON ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION FOR LATEST REPAIR ATTEMPT. MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ON FORUMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!

WHILE DRIVING IN WINTER CONDITIONS WITH A DIRTY WINDSHIELD I NOTICED THAT MY SPRAYERS WERE NOT SPRAYING WASHER FLUID. I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS OUT OF FLUID, HOWEVER WHEN I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL. I TOPPED OFF THE TANK AND IT IS STILL NOT WORKING. I AM UNABLE TO SPRAY THE WASHER FLUID WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN IN THE WINTER BECAUSE I CANNOT CLEAR MY WINDSHIELD WHEN SALT / SNOW ARE SPRAYED UP FROM OTHER CARS.

Mileage: 22,600

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL, THE BACK WINDSHIELD EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG. THE DEFROSTING WAS NOT ON. IT WAS IN THE LOW 50S OUTSIDE, SO NOT TOO COLD. THERE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. ALSO RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF BURNT ELECTRONIC IN THE TRUCK, THAT LASTED A LONG TIME.

Mileage: 20,000

REAR GLASS EXPLODED. REAR DE-FROST TURNED ON, ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT ISSUE CAUSED REAR GLASS TO OVER HEAT AND BURN UP, ALONG WITH COLD EXTERNAL WEATHER CAUSING VERY HOT GLASS EXPLOSION WHILE DRIVING SENDING GLASS PIECES EVERYWHERE. GLASS PARTICLES VERY FINE AND CAUSED SCRATCHES AND BLEEDING.

Mileage: 32,000

DURING FREEZING CONDITIONS, MY FACTORY WASHER FLUID WOULD NOT PUMP. IT APPEARED FROZEN, AS WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ROSE, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND STILL HAVING THE FACTORY WIPER FLUID.

WHEN DRIVING IN MORNING SUN, THERE ARE THOUSAND OF SMALL SPECKS THAT APPEAR IN THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH. PICTURE ATTACHED OF THIS CONDITION BY POINTING TRUCK (NOT MOVING) INTO MORNING SUN. WINDSHIELD IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT AND THESE SPECKS ARE ONLY PRESENT IN MORNING SUN. FORD INDICATES THIS IS NORMAL ON ALL THEIR TRUCKS.

CONCERNED ABOUT WINDSHIELD NOT BEING THICK/STRONG ENOUGH IN 2016 F150S DUE TO CAMERAS/SENSORS BEHIND THE GLASS. I HAVE A 2016 FORD F150 PLATINUM, PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER, 2015. CURRENT MILEAGE IS UNDER 4K MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 701A PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES LANE KEEPING AND 360 DEGREE CAMERA SYSTEMS. WITHIN ONE MONTH OF PURCHASE, THE WINDSHIELD WAS CHIPPED DUE TO A SMALL ROCK HITTING IT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CHIP DEVELOPED INTO AN 18" CRACK WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED BY SAFELITE WITH AN OEM REPLACEMENT - THE EXACT SAME WINDSHIELD AS WAS INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY. NOW A MONTH LATER, A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND AGAIN CHIPPED THIS NEW WINDSHIELD - AND WITHIN 24 HOURS, THAT CHIP TURNED INTO A 12" CRACK ACROSS THE DRIVER'S SIGHT LINE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

MY AUTO DRIVER SIDE VIEW MIRROR DEFAULTS TO A POSITION WHICH I CANNOT SEE BEHIND ME EVERY TIME I USE THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT FORD MAY HAVE INTENTIONALLY SET THE MIRROR TO BEHAVE THIS WAY. I FORGET TO ADJUST THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WITH EACH ENTRY AND REALIZE THE MIRROR IS NOT ADJUSTED AFTER I AM ALREADY BACKING, SO I HAVE TO SLAM MY BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO THAT I CAN ADJUST THE MIRROR TO BACK SAFELY.
