Took my vehicle to ford dealership to have leaking sunroof checked, had it repaired for broken track, but the amazing things was the price that ford charge me for the repair of the sunroof track which was $5507.49, wasn’t really told why it cost me so much being that it’s a 2018. I do have the receipt, and has been trying to find a lawyer to try and recover some of my losses. Please let me know what I should do about this repair
The Air Conditioning fails and windows fog impairing visibility. Ford dealer diagnosed the problem as the A/C evaporator sensor failure and estimated the cost at $2800 to remove the entire dashboard and all components. No warning lights or other indicators appear. The A/C evaporator apparently freezes over and block air flow through the vents. This is a problem many of these vehicles are having. I have included the ford service bulletin. It is available for inspection. Thank You

I was stopped at a traffic light and all of a sudden my rear window exploded. It sent glass forward richoceting of the front windshield into my eyes. It was like a gun shot was fired into my truck. This caused me to have post traumatic stress. This and the fact that no one believed me that the rear window spontaneously exploded. Since my care was paid for, the window was paid out of pocket adding insult to injury
Back-up camera is not clear , I can't clearly make out objects when backing, even after cleaning the lens. This has been like this as long as I have had the truck.
Rear window is held in place with a piece of trim, which is held in place by double-sided tape. It is a safety issue as the window can become dislodged and injured occupants. Ford is aware of this as the Ford company Refuses to fix this on many of the forum websites.. this has been going on since 2015. It is also a safety issue as anyone can easily push the window open with their hand, and could access the vehicle to steal it, or to injure the occupants. Based on the few forums that I looked up under Google, there are hundreds of vehicles like this, and probably tens of thousands. Ford has failed to issue and fails to repair the window as they say it’s a piece of trim although the trim is what holds in the window. Essentially a few small pieces of tape hold the window in and this should’ve never been built like this. I’m counting on the federal safety agency to do a full investigation and protect me and my family.

My windshield wipers will come on in the slow position even though they are "Off". I cannot get them to stop. My wipers will continue to do this for a month or so, and then return to normal where I can control them. This has happened 3 times now. While this is happening, I have problems controlling the speed of the wipers. This only happens when the truck is running.
The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was a rattling sound coming from the moon roof.

Windshield Wipers stopped working
The vehicle as of 12/9/2023 at 3:27pm CST is at a mileage of 79,528. We reported to the dealership in April 2021 and services prior to April 2021 that the sunroof would randomly become misaligned with the sunroof track when opening. There will be excessive noise coming from the sunroof when it’s misaligned. We are concerned that there might be a larger problem with potential exposed areas/leaks when that is misaligned. We feel strongly that it is either the alignment (misalignment) of the panels, an issue with the track, or an issue with the brackets. It was brought into the dealership, and they said they fixed it, but it continues to happen.
Rear window exploded after starting the truck. Glass shards and chunks flew into the truck . This is the 3rd F150 truck that I've owned that has had this happen.
Rear Slider Windshield Randomly Shattered glass everywhere while vehicle parked no signs of impact no force entry just glass everywhere. vehicle parked in secure area. the only plossible clause I can think of is Remote start I assume it was the remote start. I verified AC status and no defrost was on.
Rain sensing wipers activate when there is no rain. Also, the wipers activate when I use my turn signal.

Moonroof malfunctioned- causing it to be left open in the winter with poor conditions rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. Discovered that internal mechanism for opening and closing (made of plastic) had broken in the track. Was able to get it closed for now but I don’t feel safe driving myself and twin toddlers. Saved the portion of the clip that broke off.
My drivers windshield wiper arm broke 4 weeks ago in the rain because the little key popped off. The wiper hit the driver behind me and I almost got into an accident. Today my passenger windshield wiper arm broke for the same reason. The little metal key popped off. This wipers are very flawed. That little key should be welded to the wiper. It was snowing and a very little snow caused my wiper arm key to break. Now I have to buy a whole new one. This is my second arm in 2 weeks. I have now replaced both wiper arms. This could have killed me, my family and others. Corners should not be but while making wiper arms. They can cause a visual hazard and result in death. Not smart! Please do a recall on these.
Windshield wipers will not completely shut off. Wipers come on approximately every 12 seconds after being turned to the off setting. Besides being irritating, it eventually will wear down the wiper blades and scratch the windshield which becomes a safety concern. Searching the internet this seems to have been a chronic problem with the combination wiper/turn singal switch on Ford F-150 dating back several years.
