Comments
It's like Ford and/or their suppliers are inventing new defects for common manufactured parts that have been in the industry for many, MANY decades with no mention of issues (nor should there be). Lug nuts was bad enough, now windshields?
So much for the Ford Plant quality control check points.
Just pump ‘em out and let the dealers fix the issue.
