2020 Ford F-250 SD: windshield wiper failure

Filed Dec 8, 2025 · Acceleration · VA

when passing another vehicle in a passing zone, with gas pedal fully depressed, there is a 2 or 3 second lag time after releasing the gas pedal before the truck actually stops accelerating. this has happened since I bought the truck brand new from the dealership. first few times it happened it scared the hell out of me. I had to apply the brakes hard in order for it to slow down. I brought it back to the dealer to have it looked at (while having the windsheild wiper recall repaired). the ford mechanic stated that that was just the way it is. he also said others have had this problem as well but there was no factory directive to fix it. The problem still occurs to this day but since i am used to it and expect it It is not as terrifying. but still, this is a obvious safety problem.

On 4/24/2022, during a snow storm the passenger side wiper failed to work and came disconnected from the vehicle. The drivers side wiper stopped working and would not return to the downward (parked) position. Both wiper arms are stripped and non-functional. I was forced to wait for two days for weather/roads to clear before I could leave for my destination, due to the non-functioning wipers and weather. I tried to order new wiper arms from on-line dealers and third party dealers only to have all orders canceled as that there are no parts available, and that new availability was unknown. While in search of these parts, I found that there is a Ford recall on this issue, Safety notice #22S26 / NATSA #22V250. On 5/18/2022 I went to a Ford dealer for repairs and was told there are no parts, with no known time of receiving such parts. On 6/10/2022 I returned to the dealer and was told the same information, no parts. On 6/14/2022 I called Ford and was given a case number, and informed that the arrival of any new replacement parts was still unknown. The truck is obviously not safe to drive in, or when inclement weather is advised and/or happening. I have had to pull off the road and wait out rain storms and fog as well. Ford has made no offer of reimbursement due to lost use of this vehicle , or offered to sponser a loaner truck for use while waiting for the the repairs/parts to come available. At best, Ford has offered to try and escalate my request for replacement parts, which to date is still unknown, and parts are still unavailable. ... Which leaves me with a, new 2020 F-250 that is, and has been, unsafe drive since April of this year (which, by the way, I pay almost $1000.00 per month in a loan payment on.)
