I was driving at 55 miles per hour and the molding from around the right side windshield flew off after driving another 10-15 miles the left hand molding on the windshield also blew off this could have been trouble for any one behind me or to the side of me.

This form does not allow entry of multiple dates. There is an issue with myfordtouch with this vehicle that is continual. Putting in one date is pointless. The climate (defroster, etc) system and the navigation system are part of this module, along with phone and audio features. This module locks continually and it is dangerous because you can't control the defroster or navigation system manually when this occurs. Repeated trips to the dealer have been fruitless and my wife was in dangerous situations several times in heavy traffic corridor conditions in northern New Jersey. It is unconscionable that Ford is selling these vehicles for nearly $50,000 that are defective and they know they are defective.
