NHTSA Complaint #11048373 — 2015 FORD F-150

DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO REMAIN LATCHED AFTER CLOSURE. AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR (AND THE VEHICLE REGISTERING THE DOOR AS CLOSED), I BEGAN DRIVING AND LEANED AGAINST THE DOOR. A SHORT DISTANCE LATER, THE DOOR UNLATCHED ITSELF AND OPENED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND OPEN/SHUT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES (AND LOCK/UNLOCK THE LOCKS) TO GET IT TO LATCH PROPERLY. FORD HAS ISSUED THEIR OWN NOTICE OFFERING A VOLUNTARY DOOR LATCH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER DUE TO THE POTENTIAL DANGER THE SELF-OPENING DOOR PLACED ME IN- THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL FOR ALL FORDS WITH THIS TYPE OF LATCHING MECHANISM ON THEIR DOORS. I WAS ON A ROAD WITH A 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND WAS BUCKED-UP (LUCKILY).
