NHTSA complaint #10328599, filed 2010-05, 99,981 miles“I would like to report a stress problem with the windshield on my car.

It created a vision problem as it kept flickering light. This condition was worse at night. The Ford dealer in kissimmee told me he had a lot of this problem and it was stress. He could not replace it as Ford would give him a hard time. I had to drive home with this. …”
