Tow mirrors were provided by Ford oem ml3z17696ca the side marker lights will not function on the new 2021 models due to inability to program them. Ford dealerships do not know how to program them.

Driverã‚s side exterior mirror vibrates when going down the road. This distracts the driverã‚s vision and could cause an accident. It gives you the false impression that there is a vehicle moving into your blind spot. This has been reported to the dealer three times and has not been corrected to date.

My 2006 Ford F-150 super cab pickup, 2x4, v-8 engine, has a major problem with the outside mirrors falling towards the ground causing me not to be able to pick up moving traffic while driving down the highway. . . I have taken the truck to three different Ford dealerships and they refuse to give me a trade-in on a truck with power mirrors. . . I have had (3) new sets of mirrors installed on this truck already since I purchased the truck in January 2006. . . . I have had a restriction put on my drivers license stating that I must have a right hand mirror on all vehicles I drive due to having amblyopia in my right eye. . . . Can't see anything when my mirrors point down towards the ground. . . Shouldn't' have to take a beating on the trade-in since I bought the truck in good faith believing that Ford would stand behind its warranty. . . They are not reimbursing me for the time or gas to take the truck in for repairs and I believe three sets of mirrors are enough. . . . I want this to be documented in case that I have a minor or major accident that is involving a life because I couldn't see out of my mirror while changing a lane. . . . .

: the contact stated the side view mirror glass on both mirrors did not stay stationary while driving over rough roads at any speed. The mirrors pointed downwards, obscuring the view of the driver. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the mirrors were replaced. The problems persisted, so the vehicle was taken to a second service dealer, who informed the contact that a second replacement would do no good. The manufacturer was notified. Updated 10/31/2006 - the manufacturer refused any assistance.

Complaint received via e-mail. I own a 1999 f150 Ford. The mirrors on the doors are defective. The finish has almost all come off. It is very difficult to view out of the side mirrors. They have the signal flashers r and l in the mirrors. I have gone to the dealer, [located in thomson, GA], and asked them to replace the mirrors. They said they would not replace the mirrors, and they were not covered under the extended warranty. The service department acknowledged to me that the mirrors were defective, but said I would have to pay to have them fixed on my own at a non Ford glass repair shop. They estimated the cost to be $500. 00-$600. 00. I had another person check at a dealer in columbia, south carolina. They said the power operating part of the side mirrors were covered under warranty, but not the glass.

Both exterior rearview mirrors on my 1999 F-150 lariet model have experienced black spots. The black spots make it impossible to see anything behind me. I have done research and found that delamination of mirrors occured on 1998 and 1999 F-150, f-250, expeditions, and Lincoln navigator vehicles. I have had the mirrors replaced at a cost of $150. 00 per mirror plus labor. I contacted Ford to ask about reimbursement for the costs of replacing the mirrors and was told that since the vehicle is not under warranty that they can't do anything. Ford has been very unresponsive to this issue. It appears unless a vehicle recall is required that they will not voluntarily replace the mirrors. I was told by the parts manager that the replacement mirrors have a different design than the original mirrors. I can only assume that the mirrors were redesigned after Ford realized that there was a defect.

Possible mirror defect on 1998 f150. The vehicle swerved and the passenger side mirror struck a mailbox. The mirror collapsed and the mirror inside had become detached, flew through the passenger window, struck the consumer in the chin and flew out of the driver window. This was the second incident. The first incident, the mirror collapsed as designed to, however, the mirror detached forcefully landing in the passenger's seat.

On my 1999 Ford F-150 pickup (33,000 miles), both the exterior mirrors have lost reflection and turned black. Have checked repeatedly for recall since purchase, but none issued by Ford. I have compensated by putting small adhesive wide-angle mirror on. However, another driver tried to use mirror and was unable to see a small child at right rear fender.

The signal mirrors on my truck have been developing dark spots making it difficult to see. It appears to be a defect in the reflective surfaces.

Outside mirrors are turning black at the mirror itself (backing coming off?).

I have a 1999 f150 lariat, 40,000 miles, bought new, with electronic side mirrors with built in arrow lights. The silver backing on both the left and right mirrors has deteriorated causing the mirrors to become opaque. This is becoming a safety hazard, especially in low light conditions.

Side mirrors with turn signals built into mirrors have turned black and spotty. This problem appears to only exist on the mirrors with the turn signals built into the mirror, and Ford no longer sells these vehicles in the f150 this way.

Side view mirrors on left and right side of vehicle have faded and is almost impossible to look at anything in those mirrors. Contacted dealer who is not willing to do anything.

Exterior rearview mirrors on my 1999 F-150 lariat purchased new have effectively completely deteriorated to the point that they are not functional. It is apparent that this is a manufacture defect based on my and the many other complaints.

Glue on outside mirror is bleeding through glass. This is causing a distortion to drivers visibility. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide any further information.

On both sides of vehicle mirrors have black spots, and consumer is unable to see.

1998 Ford 150 lariat truck outside mirrors discolored rendering them useless. You can barely see in them during the day and at night it is almost impossible to see anything out of them. The mirror type has the turn signal built in behind the mirror. Ford replaced them once and now says that they no longer make that type because of their defective nature but will not or has not offered an alternative. Their newer version has the turn signal built on the outer perimeter of the mirror body instead of behind the mirror glass.

The passenger side mirrors are delaminating, the dealer pointed out that they should be replaced, but the manufacturer declined to pay for replacement cost due to vehicle being over 36000 miles.

Mirrors on both side doors are DE laminating the reflectant on the back of the mirrors. This at first looks like paint oversparay, but continues untill you can not see out of the mirrors. They are simply black. They are the Ford signal mirrors with turn signals built in. I was told by the parts department that this was not a defect coverd by warrenty. He also indicated that other people were having the same problem. I have never, ever seen a mirror do this. The mirrors are a definate safety issue and need to be replaced.

1999 Ford F-150 exterior rearview mirrors are extremely faded so they are basically useless. These are the mirrors with turn signals inside the glass. Ford says there are no recalls and no problem exists. They are a safety hazard.

Exterior mirrors design are poor in visibility when used with a trailer hitched to vehicle. Unable to see properly and causes blind spot from both sides. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that nothing can be done since mirrors meet specification. Mirrors do not support extension mirrors.

The reflective material on the exterior rear view mirrors peeled off making the mirrors useless in the consumer 1999 Ford f150. The reflective material started discoloring and peeling 7 months after the vehicle was purchased.

This vehicle equipped with outside "signal" mirrors (red leds behind glass). The right side mirror has suffered a significant loss of reflectant material from the surface, reducing visibility to about 40% of original (satisfactory only in bright daylight). The left side mirror has begun to lose reflectant (currently about 10%). This was pointed out to the shop foreman at the dealer, but since the vehicle is out of warranty, he offfered no solution. Replacement would cost several hundreds of $ at Ford prices, difficult to find non-oem replacements. Shop foremena mentioned that he had heard of or seen this s few tiomes in past. I have owned numerous vehicles including several Ford and have never had this type of problem. I thought that it was a freak occurrence until the right side mirror began to fail. I believe that tis should be considered a safety defect and that Ford should have to replace these defective parts. Except for mileage, my vehicle would still be within the warranty period of 36 months. Thank you.
