“When it gets cold out doors the windshield washer will not work. I have had it in to donley Ford and they put -20 washer fluid in but it still will not work. I have trouble seeing with all the salt in the front window. Is there a design flaw ?”

I have had to replace 3 of the 4 door lock motors at the cost of $500.00 each and still the doors do not lock or unlock as they did the day I bought it.
