2 failures in vehicle 1) NHTSA recall 22s56 - blower motor causing excessive heat and posing a fire risk. Parts attached to blower fan not covered under recall (resistor and harness) caught fire, burned, and melted. Ford refuses to cover the additional parts under recall. I have photos from dealer of melted and burned parts behind dash. We smelled something burning in truck and then the front blower ceased working. Now I know why - many owners reporting same things and this repair should be covered, or recall expanded to include these additional repairs if needed due to the excessive heat from the blower motor. This could have very easily caused a vehicle fire while I was driving, and we could have been seriously injured. 2) rear back up camera failure due to poor seal around camera and lack of waterproofing of camera electronics causing corrosion and failure. Problem clearly seen in attached video ( not my car but same exact issue) again, many other owners experiencing same issue. This is a safety hazard as camera suddenly failed while I was reversing and caused a near miss of a pedestrian. Camera components need to be waterproofed and sealed better - there is clearly water leaking into the rear door panel causing corrosion as indicated by dealer. Https://video. Search. Yahoo.

Rear-view cameras it is available for inspection. It has been reproduced by gullo Ford dealership in conroe, TX. They finally replaced it in 2020 but it continues to black out monthly for periods of time. As far as I know only the dealer has looked at it. No warning it just goes black or distorted. Invoices, letter to Ford, etc. Available but I don't know how to upload. Continuing problems we have had with the damn back-up camera and why its not covered now by warranty. Over the 42 months from basically inception we have had the truck up there at least 6 times to have it looked at and repaired, it still goes off for weeks at a time even though they said they replaced it the last time. Well it still doesn't work. The rear-view cameras have been out of service probably 25% of the time we have owned it (42 months). To me, this is a major safety issue. We are grandparents with alot of kids in neighborhood. You can't see out the back of an Expedition clearly without the camera. We also see Ford has recalled your 2020 similar models for the same problem. The rear-cameras are not working now.
