Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report
- Rain-sensing wipers fail to sweep the windshield or park in random positions, sometimes leaving the wipers stuck in the middle of the glass at highway speed.
- Wiper arm index splines wear out and cause the wiper arm to stop working, a failure some owners linked to a part later covered by a Ford recall on other vehicles.
- Rear windows reported shattering or exploding with no impact, sometimes while parked or shortly after using remote start with the defroster on.
- Water intrusion on the passenger side causes the windshield and side mirror to fog over, reducing visibility in wet weather.
- The rear view mirror position blocks the driver's view of cross traffic at intersections, which one owner said nearly caused a collision.
- Backup camera intermittently stops working, especially when shifting into reverse, though some owners say their VIN was excluded from an existing Ford camera recall.
