The sunroof will leak through both the rear passanger seatbelt assembly which could damage the integrity of the seatbelt and/or seatbelt mount. Additionally, water will come out of the microphone/sunroof controls above the driver, which can cause the driver to become distracted and/or momentarily visually impaired. There are multiple posts in forums about this issue and I think it should be addressed by the NHTSA.

Windshield wiper motors failed during a rain storm. Vehicle has only 10k miles on it, wiper motors were set to medium, went up half way, motor made a grinding noise, then wipers stopped moving in either direction. I am able to push them down manually, and the motor can raise them to about 25% then it begins to grind and they stop advancing again. This stinks an awful lot like the recall on 2021 F-150s for bad wiper motors. I suspect the recall campaign needs to be MUCH larger and include 2020 F-150s as well. This was incredibly dangerous and could have caused a serious accident. I had no front visibility during the storm.

Wiper motor is non operational. It has been verified by dealer part is non operational. Non operational wipers put myself and others at risk if there would be visual obscurities that would need to be removed during vehicle operation. The only sign was a loud grinding noise for a few wipes prior to operation ceasing.
