1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2026

When using the rear camera while towing a trailer, the image is partially blocked by a persistent message stating “full view not available”. This creates a safety issue as it obscures the driver’s view of the trailer and/or the trailer load. It is critical to be able to monitor the trailer and the load during towing to ensure a hazardous condition is not developing. I believe the rear view camera is working as designed, that is I do not believe there is a defect or failure in the hardware. However the design of the message is the problem. If the driver needs to know that “full view not available” then the message should be moved to a different part of the screen to not obscure the view of the trailer.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2025

2024 Ranger raptor built in December of 2024 with 1,750 miles on it. The rubber trim around the sliding rear window appears to have melted from the in glass defroster overheating. It is now duct taped to keep water from leaking into the cab.
