1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2026

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the hvac air vent assemblies in my 2022 Ford Expedition. I have now had two separate vent directional-control/deflector handles break during normal use. The plastic attachment points are extremely thin and fragile and appear inadequate for a component specifically designed to be routinely adjusted. This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Broken hvac vent controls/deflectors have been reported multiple times by Ford owners across various online Ford forums and owner discussions. The number of similar consumer reports raises concern that this may be a recurring design or material defect rather than normal wear or accidental damage. When the control breaks, the vent can no longer be properly aimed. This creates a potential visibility issue because hvac airflow is necessary to clear condensation and fog from the windshield and front side windows. In hot humid climate, windows can fog rapidly. Losing the ability to properly direct airflow can delay clearing the glass and reduce driver visibility. The defect also prevents proper a/c airflow from being directed toward the driver. Florida vehicles can reach extremely high interior temperatures when parked. Reduced ability to direct cold air toward the driver can contribute to excessive heat exposure, discomfort, fatigue, dehydration, and potentially heat-related illness, which may impair safe vehicle operation. Having two separate vent controls fail under normal use, combined with numerous similar reports from other Ford owners, suggests a possible systemic durability defect. I am requesting that NHTSA review complaints involving 2022 Ford Expeditions and other Ford vehicles using the same vent assemblies to determine whether an investigation or corrective action is warranted.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2025

Wipers are the recalled version missing the little block. However, the recall is not for my VIN. Coolant keeps disappearing. Hard shifting and or no movement at all while transmission is cold.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2022

I was driving in the express lane nb I-15 in utah. I was at highway speeds with no one around me. I had the visor that closed on my sunroof when all of a sudden I hear a loud explosion, it scared me and I immediately slowed and pulled off the road. I first thought maybe it was a tire, I checked and all were intact, then I saw glass and looked up on my roof and noticed that the sunroof was completely blown out. I apparently lost my panoramic portion of my sunroof, not the part that actually opens, the fixed portion. The glass is angled out like a slope up a mountain. I am lucky the visor was closed as it minimized the glass inside the vehicle and onto my kids. I just bought this vehicle from Ford on a special order and took possession of it 3-4 weeks ago. This was on a Sunday afternoon 8/21. I took it straight to the dealer Monday morning 8/22, they currently still have the vehicle. I have had no updates from the dealer. No warning lamps/lights before or after the incident.
