Received recall notice in March, 2022. Took vehicle in to confirm and was told that the wiper motor would need to be ordered and that it was expected sometime in August. I've called the dealer twice now and was told the motor was still on order. Today (November 10, 2022) the dealer informs me that the part cannot be ordered from Ford until it fails and is confirmed by the dealer as to failing. If this is a safety recall, why would it need to fail to be acted upon. I live in a climate where we get rainy weather for months at a time. Having a wiper motor fail while driving is a situation waiting for disaster.
Ford issued recall 22S12/22V‑142 on March 13, 2022, and stated, "parts are anticipated to be available late-second quarter". I have been in contact with the Ford dealership in my hometown since April about this recall and was continuously told the parts are not available. My wipers had been functioning intermittently until last week while raining, my wipers completely stopped working as I am driving home on the interstate. I called the local Ford the following morning to inquire about the recall and was again told that the parts aren't available. Ford stated I could drop my vehicle off for 3 days so they could perform diagnostics on my vehicle, order the appropriate parts, and then return once the parts have arrived. I informed them that I commute for work and cannot be without my truck. They told me I would not be given a rental unless I wanted to pay for one through another company! After being frustrated with local Ford dealer, I called the corporate office and was told "there is nothing we can do at this time". This is completely unacceptable behavior. The recall has been issued for months and owners who have vehicles without windshield wipers should be taken care of immediately. This is a huge safety hazard! I am beyond upset about this situation and Ford is not taking responsibility the way they should. Why should I be the one to pay for the rental vehicle when it is their equipment that has malfunctioned? Completely unnacceptable.
Wiper blade recall 22V250 for F-150 - have tried scheduling to get recall fixed with Koons Ford Sterling, VA since May. They are still unable to fix recall due to inadequate scheduling and unavalialbe parts. Same issue with unintended tailgate opening recall number 21M08.

Recall still not repaired
I have been waiting for the wiper motor recall for months. Called Ford and they said there isn’t a recall after all. I am to wait for the wiper motor to quit and then they will order parts. Doesn’t sound safe to drive in the rain without a operating wiper motor.
Nothing happened, I'm filing a complaint about inaction on Ford remedying this recall. It's been 4 months and counting on getting this wiper recall fixed due to no parts available. How can that be when Ford is still building F150's and filling orders but leave the vehicles driving on the roads hoping the windshield wipers don't fall off. Unreal!

The windshield wiper arms are defective as pieces of metal from the splines have come off and I do have them. I asked the dealership to check it when I had the last recall and oil change and evidently they did not even check it. I called Ford customer service today and the customer service rep said that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall as it did not apply. Evidently they don't understand that there are more vehicles with the problem as mine is very evident. Consumer's vehicle was not part of the recall as they did see and have the parts that have fallen out of the wiper arms. They said that they can replace it under warranty but are not able to get the parts as they are going to the recall vehicles.

While driving on the highway, the sunroof spontaneously exploded, sending small pieces of glass everywhere including at the vehicle driving behind us. Fortunately our sunroof screen was closed, otherwise the glass would have shattered into the truck on me and 2 kids as well. The loud “bang” caused us to duck and swerve as it sounded like a gunshot. This occurred on a new truck with only 5,000 miles on it. The dealership currently has the truck and upon replacing the sunroof noticed that no sunroof drains were ever installed on the vehicle. We don’t know if this is related to causing the sunroof to explode, but the dealership claims it does not have anything to do with the sunroof shattering.

The front wipers failed to work properly. It is available for inspection, but scheduled to be fixed. We have actual video of it not working properly before it stopped working completely. Our safety was put at risk. We were driving on 94E in Montana when it started raining. The wipers were working and then suddenly stopped. We were doing 64mph and were passed by trucks which splashed more water on the windshield. Once it stopped raining we drove to the nearest Ford dealer - All American Ford - Glendive Montana where a Tech tried to help but was unable to resolve the issue. We had to stop driving for the night and wait for the storm to pass. We had 2 kids in the car and were trailering a 21ft camper. We nearly crashed after the trucks splashed water all over the windshield.
Tow mirrors were provided by ford OEM ML3Z17696CA The side marker lights will not function on the new 2021 models due to inability to program them. Ford dealerships do not know how to program them. They said there is no official documentation on how to do this. This is a safety concern as these are large tow mirrors that extend far out on the sides of the vehicle. At night they require side marker lights.
