The rear camera goes blank when put in reverse. The screen shows "rear camera not available". There were multiple recalls for rear view camera system but my year and model is not included. A lot of same complaints on the web regarding the same issue.

My windshield wiper/motor/assembly just stopped working. To make it worse, it stopped in the middle of a rain/snow storm.

Wipers only run at a slow speed...not enough power to keep up with rain or snow.

Wiper transmission corroded and seized causing it to burn out my wiper motor. Fixed and looked at by local ford dealer and issue is the seized wiper transmission but not under the recall numbers for the same issue in other f150 (2015-2020 f150 assembled in Canada) which mine is. How can I get reimbursed for the cost which should be covered under that recall.

Western NY, driving on Interstate 86 during a heavy rain, windshield wipers failed. They initially quit working making visibility impossible. Crawled to rest area on shoulder of highway with flashers going. Planned on spending night in truck until daybreak. Eventually rain lightened up, turned truck and wipers on once again. At first, they twitched every few seconds. Eventually, they wiped one cycle, very, very slowly every 5+ seconds. Occasionally starting and stopping.

This afternoon while getting ready to leave church, I pulled my truck forward about 10 feet with no issues in order to load some things in the truck bed before taking off. The truck started up just fine, and the starter sounded just as strong as it always does, indicating the battery was of good health. Upon starting the vehicle less than 5 minutes later the engine would not start due to a dead battery - or so that's what the symptoms led me to believe anyway. I heard some clicks, but no starter motor activity, then saw a warning on my radio screen stating "turn ignition off or start engine." This could have been at a stoplight, leaving me as a stalled vehicle in the middle of the road had it happened in conjunction with the auto start/stop that shuts off the engine when stopped for a short period...

Windshield wipers suddenly stopped working on a trip and I had to drive without wipers in snow and slush, which was difficult. I took apart the wiper assembly and the center, passenger side wiper shaft was frozen solid with corrosion, I had to drill 2 holes in the casting to get lubrication on the shaft to free it up in order to get home. From what I see online this appears to be a common problem.

Rear glass in sliding window shattered to pieces while driving.

Window wipers slowed down and finally quit working during a rain event

I was driving and the windshield wipers started wiping on their own. It was not raining and the windshield wiper setting was on off. This caused dirt and debris on the windshield to smear and I could not see where I was driving. For the next few days windshield wipers would randomly turn on on their own. It svwrely affected visibility. I read online that this was a common issue due to a malfunctioning windshield wiper switch. I replaced the switch and am hoping this doesn't happen again.

Rearview camera system malfunction. Randomly sync screen stays black. Randomly vehicle continues to show rear camera even though vehicle is driving forward. Problem started around April 2023 at 60,000 miles.

Drivers side wiper arm is visibly loose. It does not make constant contact with the windshield Engine consumes 3 quarts of oil in less then 2k miles, it currently has 57,818 on odometer, has been regularly serviced Ford recommend 91 or above octane to curve “pinging and pre detonation”. Have run 91 octane fuel for last 5 tanks and continues to misfire and ping between 1500-2000 rpms while under no load besides the weight of the vehicle

After purchasing my truck, it was discovered that the back up camera doesn't work. It will work on occasion when the truck is put in reverse. The safety for myself or others is that I cannot see behind me when backing up. I have not taken the vehicle in for an inspection since I have been told that this is an issue for other Ford F150's in the same year. When backing up my screen says camera not available.

Back glass shattered for no reason , alone on a state highway with no houses and other traffic . Thousands of not hundreds of thousands of other people have had the same thing happen to them in f150s for years apparently. A quick google search didn’t take long to read hundreds of other f150 owners sharing the same experience . Ford refuses to accept responsibility for what is an obvious design flaw. Broken shards of glass flying around in the cab . Luckily I didn’t have my grandson in the backseat today.

When I put my vehicle into reverse, I get a warning that the backup camera is inoperable. Ford already has a recall on Some backup cameras but refuses to address mine because of the VIN not being on their list. Others at risk? Whenever I need to back out of a parking space. The onboard computer should have the records of the many times the camera was needed but not working. I am unable to afford the cost of a service call as I am a senior citizen.

I've been dealing with a vibration/shaking in my factory driver side mirror at high speeds and on bumpy roads since I got my truck in May 2019 (over three years). No issue on the passenger side. I've dealt with it off and on with the dealer as time and life have allowed. Currently I'm on my fourth mirror and have a case manager from Ford corporate. I have attached some of my correspondence with them for your reference. My problem is that the driver side shaking is very bad. It's distracting at high speeds and at night when headlights are shining behind you, it can be like a light show in the corner of your eye while driving. After much trial and error, I believe the vibration is coming from the articulation point between where the arm that comes off the truck connects with the arm that supports the mirror....

Wiper arm fails to operate due to the index splines not holding up and failing prematurely. Part did not include a shear pin to prevent issue from arrising. Ford has a recall on the part but is not including all vehicles that have this part. (Info confirmed by service/parts managers and Ford customer support) Ford is also canceling any and all orders with that part number and refusing to supply that part.

Back window is shattered with no force. You can see it pushing outwards. Still cracking as I'm writing this

My rear window with defroster shattered when I shut the door on my F150 today. It was without warning and the temperature was mild and the truck was parked under a carport overnight. Now I have no back glass. I'll report my issue to Ford ASAP.

2019 Ford F-150 was turned on using Remote Start feature. I allowed the truck to run for about 10 minutes before getting into the driver seat. When I closed my Driver Side Door, the Rear Windshield shattered. I immediately exited the vehicle and took photos of the shattered glass. Broken glass fell into my back seat and even into the bed of the truck. Thankfully no one was sitting in the back passenger seats. My local Ford Dealership, where I am leasing said vehicle from, advised me to bring the truck in so they could have a look at it. I advised them that the back windshield was falling apart and glass was continuing to fall into the back seat and into the outside bed/trunk. A service advisor told me they can’t do anything unless I bring it in. I sent them the photos I took and clarified to them...

BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH RAIN SENSING WIPERS. RAIN SENSING FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK. FIRST TIME IT RAINED THE WIPERS WOULD NOT SWIPE TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY FUNCTIONS THAT WOULD WORK WERE HI AND OFF AND WHEN YOU TURNED THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD STOP AT RANDOM PLACES LIKE DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GLASS. THE RAIN SENSING POSITIONS (BETWEEN HI AND OFF) WOULD MOSTLY DO NOTHING BUT OCCASIONALLY WOULD DO RANDOM THINGS, NONE OF WHICH HELPED CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD (EITHER NOT ENOUGH SWIPES IN HEAVY RAIN OR TOO MANY SWIPES WHEN IT WASN'T RAINING). THERE ARE SETTINGS IN THE SOFTWARE TO TURN THE RAIN SENSING OFF BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT. WE TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED SWITCH ASSEMBLY FL3Z*13K359*BC. HAD NO EFFECT. WIPERS STILL ACT THE SAME. THIS, IN MY OPINION, IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET THE WIPERS TO SWIPE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED...
