VISIBILITY/WIPER
Ford issued NHTSA recall 22V142 for my 2021 F-150 truck. The windshield wiper motors were known to fail. I was told by the Ford customer service representative on CAS-51684816 that Ford has not replaced this part with a new one, and the faulty motors are still being installed. My wiper motor was "replaced" under warranty on 5/18/2023 with 39,836 miles. The "new" motor then failed on 9/24/2024 at 69,600 miles, so the wiper motor only worked for a little over a year and 30,000 miles. The wiper motor also failed during a thunderstorm, and I had to pull over to the side of the road. My truck was then hailed on later while parked waiting for the storm to pass by. The Ford dealership charged me $382.01 for the "replacement" motor. Either the replacement part was defective, or the part was not replaced at all, and it was just listed on the paperwork.

POWER TRAIN
The slip yoke on the driveshaft was under-lubricated from the factory. It is an issue that is common to F150 trucks. I believe that the failure of this component could lead to damage to the differential or driveshaft, which, if either component fails, could be a safety issue. My biggest concern is that this issue seems to be fairly common, and I am unsure if it has been investigated to determine if a recall is warranted.
