I have a few on mine, but I didn't get the Do not drive on mine. I haven't had any problems with the wiper motors or the fuel leak issue. They are still waiting on part for the fuel leak though, just did a software update on that one.

Traded my 2021 Outerbanks for a different make. For same except the do not drive thing,a couple of months ago. The dealer in AZ, Rodeo Ford Earnhardt, were terrible to work with, they did nothing to solve the issue and in fact the last time I took it in they had disconnected my headlights and I noticed they were not working the night after I picked it up, almost got into a wreck when someone on the lane next to me decided to switch to my lane and did not see us there. When I took it in the manager said they were disconnected but that they had not even opened the hood to do whatever they did( for shuddering) Ihe suggested that ," maybe someone in my neighborhood has it out for me." I told him my car is locked when i'm not in it. I have a few choice words for him. I refused to take it back in and my husband traded it before we had more issues. Remember if you trade it in and are upside down and you have to pay out of pocket, if you had bought the extended warrantee you can go to your Ford dealer and tell them you want money back, simple process, signed some papers provided a couple documents and we got back about 3,000. Better than nothing and I no-longer own a lemon.
