On most occasions when temperatures are below freezing, windshield washer solvent doesn't work to clear windshield of ice and salt buildup, creating little to no visibility. It sporadically functions between +25 to +32 degrees and rarely ever below +25 degrees. Using winter blended washer solvent -25 degrees. Ford is aware of the problem and the fix is to replace a rubber washer fluid supply line. Apparently, there…

Windshield washer fluid frozen in lines. When pushing the washer fluid button while driving, the wipers would wipe but not washer fluid would come out causing a dangerous visibility situation. I took it to the dealer that day while they were still frozen and the dealer said i did have the correct windshield washer fluid in them, but they were having problems with them freezing, so they said they dumped more alcohol…

Today, 1/17/[redacted] home i turned on the rear defroster but the light didn't come on so i assumed a fuse had blown or something. Then while continuing on my drive home, about 5-10 minutes, later i heard a loud sound like a gun shot and when i turned to see what it was low and behold the passenger rear window was shattered. Apparently this has happened to hundreds if not thousands of ford trucks from 2009-2014 and…

I purchased a 2015 in august 2015. I took this into the dealer 2 weeks ago as the washer fluid pump would not work. I was told that the washer pump motor needed replacing. However, they could not tell me when this would be fixed. Apparently the washer pump is on backorder. I was told to use a "long squeegee" in the mean time. However, not being able to use the washer fluid greatly affects visibility in my state (wv)…

Quality control issue - loose side-view mirrors: this issue is not only a matter of quality, it raised a serious safety concern at the time. As i was driving away from the dealership (after purchasing this new truck) and increased my speed to over 55 mph, i noticed both of my side-view mirrors vibrating severely. They vibrated so badly that the images in the mirrors themselves were obscured to the point that the…

Escalated even further in inclement and night driving conditions. The spot mirror is integrated with the main rearview mirror further distracting the driver from the road ahead as well as points to the same line of horizon that proves…
