What owners wrote

My rear windshield spontaneously exploded when I turned my car on. Frontier ford santa clara dealership now refuses to take responsibility despite some clear evidence that this is a manufacturing error and not the result of blunt impact (uniform sharding, including at the edges, no spiderweb pattern).

Reported at 20,000 miles, June 2017 Injury

While driving my vehicle the wiper delay stops working or starts up after a delay into another setting. From delay to full wipers. Set the wiper arm into another command and it works fine again.
