2014 F150 Lariat owned since it was new. Windshield wipers failed to come on during Florida thunderstorm while driving on I-10 Westbound from Jacksonville Florida. Was totally unable to see out of the windshield and had to pull over until the rainstorm subsided. Checked all relevant fuses and relays and wiper switch. Nothing so far has been able to fix this Safety Defect. Ford knows the part is defective because the Windshield wiper motor is not available from Ford or any dealer, and there is no expectation by the dealer than anything will ever be available to fix this Safety Defect.

Wipers do not shut off, turn on for no reason.

2013-2014 brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster....my 2014 f150 has this same failure with 58k miles on the vehicle. It should be investigated and include this vehicle in the recall. My daughter was driving the vehicle this morning and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when slowing to merge onto a us highway here in dagsboro, delaware 19939. Windshield wiper/turn signal switch recall....this 2014 ford f150 has the same symptoms as those that fall under the recall notice whereas the windshield wipers will all of a sudden come on and you cannot get it to turn off. No matter if you are moving or not this can occur sporadically without warning.

Wiper motor, radio/ ignition system, remote locking/ unlocking & cruise control. 1st issue: wiper motor will not turn to off, the wipers run intermittently in the off position every 20-30 seconds the wipers will run. Pulled fuse until repairs can be made to switch and/or module. 2nd issue: when ignition is turned off & key removed, and the radio is playing or off, a low battery warning message appears: remove ignition key and turn off the radio. The issue will not cure unless truck is vacated & locked. Dealer can't replicate issue no repairs made but still occurs from time to time. 3rd issue: power lock/ unlock by remote does not communicate with truck intermittently, replaced both remote batteries still having issues getting truck to unlock/ lock. Dealer can't replicate problem & no repairs are made. 4th issue: cruise control will not disengage when pressing brake pedal, have to turn off cruise control from steering column. This issue never returned to date of this complaint, no repairs made. This issue should be a safety concern. With all the issues with truck no warning dash messages or lights.

Wipers stay on in slowest intermittent setting, will not turn off! Visibility is affected by wipers smearing windshield.

The windshield wiper fluid system gets frozen during 10 or below weather. I've tried using name brand wiper fluid rated for the winter and even adding more alcohol. Also tried cleaning out the nozzles and pouring warm water. Only thing that addresses it is parking the vehicle in a heated garage. Have taken it in for service and they replaced the fluid with their preferred brand and the same thing happened again. So this definitely is not an issue with the windshield wiper fluid or random circumstance of freezing nozzles. This is very dangerous during the winter as road salt and grime sprays on to the windshield and visibility drops.

The wiper control remains on even when in the off position. It will keep going on the slowest intermittent setting. This does not matter if you are stationary or moving. Numerous reports listed in online forums also.
