2015 FORD F-150 Structurebody Problems

COMPLAINT - MANUFACTURER HANDING OF NHTSA RECALL 17V652 I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS RECALL AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS ARE READY. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL (NOV 2017). I ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO ASSESS FORD'S HANDLING OF THIS SAFETY RECALL TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE UNNECESSARILY DELAYING REQUIRED SAFETY REPAIRS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST AT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET I HAD A LOW BREAK FLUID WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ALL SEEMED FINE.I PROCEEDED 2 BLOCKS TO FIND SOMEWHERE SAFE TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL!!! I WENT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT INTERSECTION WITH MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE BRAKES. WITH LUCK, I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I COASTED SLOW ENOUGH TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE (E-BRAKE) TO MAKE A FULL STOP. I OPEN THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER CAREFULLY EXAMINING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ,FITTINGS, CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NO BRAKE FLUID WAS FOUND LEAKING ANYWHERE. I HAD THE 2015 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST TOWED TO A...

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER17S33 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V652 I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THIS RECALL.

FORDS RECALL # 17S33 NHTSA RECALL # 17V652 THREE DIFFERENT TIMES LAST FALL I COULD NOT CLOSE MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING BOARD INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S FOOT WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE RUNNING BOARD AND THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BUSS FORD LINCOLN, 111 NORTH ILLINOIS ROUTE 31, MCHENRY, IL 60050) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY NINE MONTHS SINCE FORD FIRST REPORTED A RECALL ON CERTAIN FORD F-150 TRUCKS RELATED TO FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. TO DATE, FORD HAS STILL NOT NOTIFIED EFFECTED OWNERS HOW OR WHERE THEY CAN HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED. I ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT FORD IS LIVING UP TO ITS OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT ON A TIMELY BASIS. LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

1FTEW1EG4FFC[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

MOONROOF WILL NOT OPEN. FABRIC MOONROOF COVER WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE; IT IS OPEN EXPOSING THE FRONT HALF OF THE MOONROOF, BUT LEAVING THE BACK COVERED. WHEN DRIVING, THE SOUND OF PASSING WIND IS LOUD. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I HAD ONLY OPENED THE MOON ROOF ONE OR TWO TIMES.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FORD AFTER THEY' FIXED ' MY PERFECTLY WORKING DOORS AFTER A RECALL. THEY GAVE ME BACK MY VEHICLE AND THE DRIVERS DOOR DIDN'T WORK. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THAT PART UNTIL I GOT DOWN THE ROAD ... WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THEY HAD THE WRONG PART AND TRIED TO FIX WITH A ZIP TIE... REALLY? LET'S FAST FORWARD FROM END OF MARCH... DOOR STILL DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO GET OUT. PART IS ON BACK ORDER. AND THE BEST PART- THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REGISTERED AS FIXED IN THE RECALL DATABASE FOR FORD SO I CAN'T TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WITHOUT PAYING. SO I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE NOW THAT WAS SAFE GO FIGURE.

I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL NUMBER 17V652 FORD RECALL NO 17S33 ABOUT DOOR LATCHES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (MARK MCLARTY FORD, 4400 LANDERS RUN RD NORTH, LITTLE ROCK, AR 72117) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FORD F150 LARIAT 2015 CREW CAB SINCE IT WAS NEW (FEB 2015) HAS WEEKLY, HAD THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK STICK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN THE EARLY DAYS OF OWNERSHIP FOR WARRANTEE REPAIR BUT THEY NEVER COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN FOR A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR A CABLE ISSUE WITH THE DOOR OPENING SYSTEM WHICH COULD FAIL, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO EITHER NOT OPEN OR OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CABLE DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT CONTINUES UNTIL TODAY. ON MARCH 27TH I TOOK THE DOOR APART TO SEE IF I COULD LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS CONCERNED AND ANXIOUS, THAT IF THE CAR WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, ACCESS THROUGH THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR COULD BE BLOCKED, MAKING MY GRANDSON SUSCEPTIBLE TO...

FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE, WHICH THEY RELEASED ON 16 OCT 2017. ACCORDING TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, FORD HAS NOT DISTRIBUTED THE APPROPRIATE PARTS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS..... A FROZEN DOOR LATCH OR A BENT OR KINKED ACTUATION CABLE MAY RESULT IN A DOOR THAT WILL NOT OPEN OR WILL NOT CLOSE CONDITION. SHOULD A CUSTOMER BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THESE CONDITIONS, THE DOOR MAY APPEAR CLOSED, BUT THE LATCH MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE THE DOOR STRIKER AND THERE IS A POTENTIAL THE DOOR COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOOR LATCHES HAVING MY VEHICLE DOOR OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND NOT LOCKING PROPERLY OR SHUTTING PROPERLY. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY DOORS BEING FROZEN SHUT DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING INSIDE THE DOOR AND THEN FREEZING. MY DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX THIS RECALL TWICE WHICH FAILED BOTH TIMES. I'VE ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE RECALL FIX IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX BY FORD TECHNICIANS. CLEARLY THIS RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY DAUGHTER SAFETY BEING THAT THE DOORS WILL OPEN WHEN THEY WANT

RECALL REMEDY DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DRIVER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH AFTER OPENING WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME LESS THAN 10 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAS PUSH-BUTTON START WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. THE DOOR UNLOCKS WHEN MY HAND IS DETECTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE KEY FOB IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE FIRST INCIDENCE: I OBSERVED THE LOCK BUTTON POPPED UP AS I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE, UPON PULLING THE HANDLE, THE DOOR OPENS. I GOT INTO THE TRUCK, STARTED IT, THEN GOT OUT, BEFORE I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. I CLOSED THE DOOR, BUT INSTEAD OF LATCHING, I NOTICED IT BOUNCED OPEN AND RESTED A COUPLE OF INCHES FROM ITS CLOSED POSITION. A SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE DOOR CLOSED ENDED WITH THE SAME RESULT....

REAR DOOR WILL NOT LATCH OR STAY CLOSED IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES

ALL DOOR LATCHES BECOME INOPERABLE, WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE (LATCH), DURING WET AND OR COLD WEATHER. RECEIVED TSB NOTICE FROM FORD NOV. 2017, CALLED DEALER, TOLD PARTS NOT IN, WE'LL CALL. AS OF 2/8/2018, STILL NO PARTS IN PER DEALER. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DOORS WON'T OPEN OR SECURELY CLOSE. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2017, BEFORE THE TSB WAS ISSUED AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT. 10 DEGREES OR LOWER.

ALL, I HAVE A RECALL ON DOOR LATCHES, BUT A CAUSE MAYBE WATER GETTING IN THE DOORS, THEN FREEZING. YOU TRY TO OPEN AND BENDING ON RODS OCCUR. I HAVE APPROX 2 GALLONS OF WATER IN DOOR, AND FORD SAYS CLEAN OUT DRAIN...WHEN IS A DOOR SUPPOSED TO GET SOAKED AND HOLD WATER INSIDE? THIS CAN CAUSE LOTS OF PROBLEMS IN FUTURE. LOOK AT YOU TUBE VIDEOS 1000 HAVING THE PROBLEM. SO BAD IT'S GOING UNDER THE FLOOR. IN THE WORLD OF FLOODING A VEHICLE AND TOTALING DOES THIS BECOME THE ISSUE? IM AFRAID TO LOOK UNDER MY FLOOR, BECAUSE I WILL BECOME VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I'M A LIFE LONG FORD OWNER AND LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE PLEASE.. I CALLED CORPERATE FORD FROM 1PM TO 215 PM ON 1/12/18 AND GET A RECORDING THEY CAN'T TAKE CALL GO TO FORD OWNER SITE AND HANG UP. IT'S THE 800 NUMBER EVERYONE CALLS. WHY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IPSWICH FORD (105 COUNTY RD, IPSWICH, MA 01938, (978) 356-6850) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND THAT THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. DOOR WILL OPEN WHILE DRIVING IF THE TEMP THAWS THE DOOR. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER OVER 3 TIMES. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE.

IN COLD WEATHER 1 OR MORE OF THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY. BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 2 YEARS NOW. DEALER HAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

DOOR LATCHES ARE FREEZING UP, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL "FIX" OF A WATER DIVERSION SHIELD. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO HAVE IT PROPERLY FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS, THE PARTS WE ALREADY INSTALLED. IT HAS BEEN FREEZING UP EVERY TIME IT'S BELOW 32 AND I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING FROM WITHIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT AND ONE OF MY KIDS WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK, AMONG OTHER ISSUES OF INCONVENIENCE.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING. I HAD MY VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER EARLIER THIS YEAR TO REPLACE THE LATCHES AND INSTALL THE DOOR GUTTER. TODAY WAS THE FIRST FROST SINCE THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE ONCE AGAIN. FORDS FIX TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AGAIN SO THEY CAN REPLACE THE LATCHES AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL FORD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR FIX IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS MORNING MY DOOR FLUNG OPEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE I DID NOT FALL OUT I SUSPECT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM RATHER THAN WASTE TIME ON A SOLUTION THAT HAS PROVEN ITSELF NOT TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL 17V-652 FROM FORD FOR AN ISSUE WITH DOOR LATCHES. IN THE RECALL NOTICE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR TO CALL THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MY DOOR HAS SWUNG OPEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING BOTH TIMES WITH MY SONS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING. I CALLED THE DEALER NORTH COUNTRY FORD IN COON RAPIDS MN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID TO CALL THE DEALER. TRUCK IS NOT USEABLE IN THE WINTER AS IS. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED SEELYE FORD IN KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN (3820 STADIUM DR 49008) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE BACK DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED MANUALLY AFTER CLIMBING OVER THE CONSOLE INTO THE BACK SEAT AND USING INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BUT THEN HAVE NOT LATCHED FULLY WHEN CLOSING ALLOWING DOOR TO COME OPEN UPON DRIVING. I CLIMBED OVER THE CONSOLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN MANUALLY TRAPPING ME IN THE BACK SEAT AT BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE BECAUSE I COULD NOT CLIMB BACK OVER THE FRONT SEATS. THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST FILED WITH NHTSA 12/30/2016. DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN MARCH 2017 BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO TIE A ROPE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE IN THE BACK SEAT TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED. CAN NOT SAFELY PUT CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT FOR FEAR OF THEM FALLING OUT. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE...

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).

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 25 I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED SINCE FEBRUARY 2016 I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE THE PROBLEM HAS GONE ON WAY TOO LONG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOORS INDEPENDENTLY OPENED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO F. X. CAPRARA FORD (84 CAPRARA DR, PULASKI, NY 13142) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCHES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/ LOCKS/LINKAGES), BUT FAILED TO COMPLETELY REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 827.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW FREEZING, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE KEY FOB OR THE KEYPAD. UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE GETS ABOVE FREEZING, YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

TRUCK WAS IN MOTION (STRAIGHT LANE) ON DRY PAVEMENT STREET. DRIVER PUSHED ON BRAKES TO STOP AND NOTHING HAPPENED. TRUCK KEPT MOVING FORWARD AND HIT A STOPPED CAR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. AFTER IMPACT, THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO THE CURB AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE BRAKES.

PRIOR TO DAYLIGHT, I NEEDED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, AND WHEN I DID, A HIGHWAY MARKER HAD BEEN BENT/DAMAGED TOWARD THE INSIDE OF THE ROADSIDE LANE. MY TRUCK WAS SCRAPPED BY THE DAMAGED HIGHWAY MARKER.I WAS IN MOTION, AND I WAS ON THE I10 ON-RAMP AT HWY 90 IN TILLMANS CORNER MOBILE COUNTY.

THE IMAGE IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW IS DISTORTED INTO DUAL OR BLURRED IMAGE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE WHILE MOVING, BUT IS, ESCALATED WHEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND LANES ARE PRESENT. ESCALATED EVEN FURTHER IN INCLEMENT AND NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE SPOT MIRROR IS INTEGRATED WITH THE MAIN REARVIEW MIRROR FURTHER DISTRACTING THE DRIVER FROM THE ROAD AHEAD AS WELL AS POINTS TO THE SAME LINE OF HORIZON THAT PROVES TO BE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER REARVIEW MIRRORS, MAKING SIDE AND REAR SAFETY CUSHION OBSERVATION INEFFECTIVE AND INEFFICIENT. MANY CITIZENS INSTALL PICK UP BED TRUCK CAPS TO PROTECT THEIR BELONGINGS. THE DESIGN OF THESE MIRRORS ALONE IS DETRIMENTAL TO SAFETY OBSERVATION. ADD IN DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE SITS ON THE SLOPE OF RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE INDENTED SIGNALING PROGRAMED INTO THE TURN INDICATORS. THIS INDENTED FEATURE PROMOTES UNSAFE TURNING/LANE CHANGE MANEUVERS. USING THE 100 FT. RULE. IT IS...

THE DOOR/LATCHES WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, THE LATCHES BREAK, THE LOCKS WONT GO UP OR DOWN AND YOU ARE EITHER LOCKED OUT R LOCKED IN AND CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. ALSO- THE LATCHES DON'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER SO THE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE AND THEY FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. MY REAL ISSUE IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE TSB FORD COMPANY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2015 F150S IN APRIL OF 2015 AND I DID NOT BUY THIS TRUCK UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2015! THAT IS 8 MONTHS!! AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO NOT ONLY 2015S BUT ALSO 2016S AND 2017S! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. FORD IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS IN COLD WEATHER MONTHS AND NOT TO EVERY FORD TRUCK. THE TSB NUMBERS ARE - FORD TSB 16-0155 FOR 2015-2017 F150 DOOR LATCH...

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32 DEGREES DUE TO FAULTY DOOR LATCH. WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE ROAD THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL SWING OPEN UNLESS HELD SHUT BY DRIVER OR OTHER MECHANICAL MEANS. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY CONFIRM A PROBLEM AND SINCE ISSUED A TSB.

I BOUGHT MY F150 IN THE LATE SUMMER OF 2015. DURING THE WINTER OF 2015 TO 2016 MY F150 WAS GARAGED WITH NO ISSUES. DURING THE WINTER OF 2016 TO 2017 MY F150 WAS NOT IN THE GARAGE AND DURING THE MONTHS OF DECEMBER THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGERS DOORS LOCKS WOULD NOT OPEN AND OR CLOSE. IT WAS MY OPTION THAT A AUTOMATIC STARTER WOULD HELP BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULD BE ABLE TO HEAT UP AND THE DOORS WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY (HOPEFULLY). FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES, AFTER THE TRUCK WARMS UP THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS WORKED. UNFORTUNATELY THE AUTOMATIC STARTER DID NOT HELP. THE TRUCK WOULD RUN AROUND 25 TO 35 MINUTES BEFORE THE LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK PROPERLY BUT THE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULD NOT LOCK THE DOOR AFTER BEING CLOSED AND OTHER TIMES THE LOCKING MECHANISM DID LOCK THE DOORS WHEN CLOSED. THE LAST STRAW WAS THE DOOR LOCKING...

BOUGHT F150 IN FALL OF 2015, FIRST FEW DAYS OF COLD WEATHER MY BACK PASSENGERS DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE. THEY JUST KEPT BOUNCING BACK AT ME. DID THAT A FEW TIMES DIDN'T THINK THAT MUCH ABOUT IT. NEXT FALL SEASON OF 2016 I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO OPEN MY REAR DOORS ON MY 55,000 VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. NOW MY TAILGATE WON'T OPEN UP EITHER! WHAT A JOKE. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AT LEAST 1 MONTH BEFORE PARTS WOULD COME IN THERE ON BACK ORDER! SO FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SALESMAN OFFERED ME SOME ROPE TO TIE THE DOORS SHUT SO THEY WOULDN'T OPEN UP!!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A SAFETY CONCERN. $55,000 VEHICLE AND THEY OFFER ME ROPE TO KEEP MY DOORS CLOSED. I CAN'T PUT ME KIDS ON THE TRUCK CAN'T USE...

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH IN COLD WEATHER. IT HAS LEFT MY TRUCK STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES. AS SOON AS THE OUTSIDE TEMP GETS ABOVE FREEZING THE DOOR WILL LATCH AS NORMAL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

WHEN THE WEATHER TEMP FALLS BELOW ZERO IN THE NEGATIVES. MY PASSAGERS SIDE DOORS FREEZE SHUT. THEY WILL NOT UNLATCH OR UNLOCK, THE CONDITION MAKES A VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR EMERGENCY EXITS.

THE TRUCKS DOORS AND LOCKS OFTEN WILL FREEZE IN COLD WEATHER. THE LOCKS MIGHT NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, SOMETIMES YOU'LL HEAR THE ACTUATOR TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, OTHER TIMES IT IS SO FROZEN YOU WON'T EVEN HEAR THE ATTEMPT. THE DOORS CAN'T BE UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY EITHER. ONCE YOU'VE HEATED THE MECHANISM ENOUGH TO ENTER THROUGH ONE OF THE DOORS (PER INTERNET POSTINGS AND SERVICE BULLETINS, THE PROBLEM IS ONLY WITH CREW CABS) THE LATCH THAT KEEPS THE DOOR CLOSED IS STILL FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION MEANING YOU CAN'T CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR. READING INTERNET POSTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND HOLDING THEIR DOORS CLOSED AND DOING OTHER DUMB AND UNSAFE THINGS. I TALKED TO MY DEALER IN DECEMBER AND THEN AGAIN IN LATE JANUARY. I WAS TOLD BOTH TIMES THAT THEY AREN'T GETTING THE PARTS FROM FORD UNTIL HOPEFULLY LATE...

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH WILL NOT KEEP DOOR SHUT. SOME COLD MORNINGS THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE USED. THE DOOR WILL OPEN, BUT NOT LATCH SHUT. SEEMS TO HAVE TO DO WITH THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE, IT WILL FLOP AROUND AND NOT RESET. AT SOME TIME AS IT HEATS UP IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THIS MORNING IT WAS 8DEG, DROVE MY CHILD TO BUS STOP. GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH DOME LIGHT ON AND HOLDING DOOR SHUT... NOT GOOD FOR A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WINTER THIS HAS HAPPENED.

IN REFERENCE TO TSB 15-0052, CURRENTLY REFERENCED UNDER TSB 16-0155 DOOR LOCKS BECOME INOPERABLE IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN WAITING TWO WEEKS FOR BACK ORDERED PARTS. WITH MULTIPLE TSB'S THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR FORD AND BACK ORDERED PARTS OVER A YEAR LATER SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. FORD'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OF LITTLE HELP, CREATING CASE # 115-897-76 AND DIRECTING ME TO TALK WITH THE MANAGER OF MY DEALERSHIP. MY INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE INCLUDES A DRIVERS DOOR THAT WILL ONLY OPEN FROM INSIDE AND DOES NOT SHUT UNLESS I MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR. ELECTRONIC LOCKS COMPLETELY FAIL. TO PUSH THE LOCK ON TOP OF THE DOOR (IN ORDER TO SECURELY CLOSE) HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT, ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS SEIZED. DRIVING IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT KNOWING THE STATE OF HOW FUNCTIONAL AND RELIABLE THE DOOR LATCH AND HARDWARE IS. DOOR, KNOWINGLY AJAR, HAS...

DOOR LATCHES ARE FROZEN AND INOPERABLE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING. DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, AND IF THEY DO OPEN, THEY WILL NOT CLOSE. A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY LOT OVER NIGHT. EVENTS OCCURRED DURING THE MONTHS OF 12/2016 AND 01/2017. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA, A PLACE WHERE IT DOES NOT GET BELOW FREEZING OFTEN.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS EITHER DO NOT OPEN WHEN COLD OR DO NOT LATCH WHEN COLD. CANNOT OPEN DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH PHYSICAL KEY, KEY FOB OR REMOTE UNLOCKING.

SUPERCREWS REAR DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY. ALSO DRIVER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY(BUTTON OR KEY FOB) OR MANUALLY EITHER INSIDE OR WITH KEY OUTSIDE. ALSO ONCE OPEN, THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. HAS ONLY HAPPENED STATIONARY AND ON DIFFERENT DAYS. LEAVING THE TRUCK RUN WITH HEAT ON HIGH ALLOWS THE DOORS TO LOCK/LATCH. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE KEY LOCK OR DOOR SEALS FREEZING AS THERE WAS NO ADVERSE WEATHER OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 22F OR COLDER AND THAT THEY HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. INFORMED THAT FORD IS WORKING ON A FIX AND THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY BACKORDER. SAW ONLINE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS STYLE TRUCK FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

AT FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. IF IT DOES, IT MAY NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WINTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS A TSB FROM FORD IDENTIFIED AS 15-0052. THIS IS A NUISANCE AT MINIMUM AND DANGEROUS IF THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. MY MODEL IS A SUPER CAB.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. THEY ARE FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH HEAT ON HIGH (THIS USUALLY REQUIRES ONE HAND HOLDING DOOR CLOSED) THE DOORS WILL EVENTUALLY LATCH. SOMETIMES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, EVEN BY USING THE KEY. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I HAVE TO GET IN THE TRUCK THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN I DO THIS, THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO STRAP THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TROUBLESOME AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

IN COLD WEATHER, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LATCH FAILS TO ENGAGE, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DURING RIGHT HAND TURNS, BUMPS IN THE ROAD, OR WHEN LIGHT PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS, THE VEHICLE RETURNS A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AS THE DOOR OPEN ITSELF. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE "SUPERCAB" CONFIGURATION, AS THE REAR DOOR ALSO CONTAINS THE SEAT BELT FOR THE DRIVER. IF THE DOOR WERE TO OPEN FULLY, THIS COULD DISRUPT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, OR POTENTIALLY THROW THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SYSTEM FAILURE CAN ALSO BE EASILY REPLICATED WHEN STATIONARY. OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND LIGHTLY PULL ON THE REAR DOOR. YOU CAN SEE THE LATCH FAILING TO ENGAGE AS THE DOOR MOVE FREELY AT THE BOTTOM INSTEAD OF STAYING LOCKED SHUT. WHEN IN MOTION, THIS...

ALL FOUR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKING WITH KEY, KEY FOB, OR DOOR KEYPAD FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE DOOR; INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH AND A PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT DUE TO THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR EMERGENCY CREWS CANNOT ACCESS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED TWICE BY THE DEALER AND BOTH TIMES THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. THE TSB 16-0155 ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT WORKING AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE ISSUES.
