Consumer Description

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DOOR CLOSING FAILURE. Both front door lock actuators malfunction below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Rear doors of the crew cab are unaffected. The moving parts of the mechanism are not frozen and there is no water in the system. The lock actuator will not engage the clamp/pin mechanism to hold the door closed, even though the movable parts are freely moving. this happens whenever the temperature is below 10 degrees. In order to get out of the car you need to exit the rear door or climb out the window. Once the door does open, it will not securely latch in position. The Certified Ford dealership informed me that this is a "known problem" with the F150 and there is no known repair.
