“A small rock shot up from a simi in front of my truck, hit my windshield and cracked my window. I had it replaced with an oem windshield. Now after parking my unit for 3 months, I find another chip in the new windshield, with another crack. The issue raises the question on how safe are these oem windshields?”
NHTSA complaint #11394278, filed 2021-02, 1,400 miles“Our company has had multiple vehicle failures of the shutter door which prevents the vehicle from defrosting causing dangerous low visibly through the windshield. Specifically 3 - f350's and 2 - f550's all of which are model years 2019 and 2020. They have been replaced under warranty and continue to fail at an alarming rate.”
NHTSA complaint #11365736, filed 2020-10, 5,000 miles“Windshield wipers continue to operate in slowest intermittent mode when switched to the off position. This also causes the headlights to be illuminated. This happens at all speeds from a full stop to highway speeds. This appears to be a widespread problem with wiper switches amongst f-350 pick up trucks in florida or hotter climates. Part cost is $75.00 dollars plus tax and 1 hour of labor $130.00. This causes driver distraction and crash potential.”
NHTSA complaint #11339710, filed 2020-07, 43,000 miles“The back up camera will display a blue screen when truck is in reverse. This is a full size truck and I am unable to see behind me when trying to backup. There have been recalls on this issue with ford but apparently my truck is not one of them.”
NHTSA complaint #11554444, filed 2023-11“The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-350.
