2017 FORD F-150 Structurebody Problems

TAILGATE OPENS GOING DOWN THE ROAD, TAILGATE OPENS ANYTIME I UNLOCK THE DOORS, AND TAILGATE OPENS WHEN REMOTE IS NEAR TAILGATE WITH NO BUTTONS PUSHED.

F150 WITH ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE WILL RANDOMLY UNLOCK AND DROP OPEN. THIS IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIMES I USE MY TRUCK. I'VE HEARD THE TAILGATE RELEASE BE ACTIVATED WITH MY FOB KEY SETTING ON THE DASH BOARD, NO ONE TOUCHING IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY, 1/10/2020, AND THE SERVICE REP HEARD IT UNLOCK THE TAILGATE WHILE HE WAS HOLDING THE KEY FOB. HE INDICATED THERE IS A RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT FOR F150'S.. ONLY F250-450'S. WHAT REALLY SCARES ME THERE IS NO WARNING OR NOTIFICATIONS THE TAILGATE HAS DROPPED DOWN AND IS NOW OPEN. I ONLY KNOW WHEN I STOP AND SEE IT DOWN OR THE LOUD STEADY WARNING WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE. SO FAR NOTHING HAS FALLEN OUT BUT THIS IS CLEARLY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED ASAP BY FORD. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN OPERATING ON BOTH CITY ROADS...

ARRIVED AT WORK ON 12-23-19 AT 8 AM (WALGREENS PARKING LOT). SHUT MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND THE REAR WINDOW OF MY F-150 PICKUP SHATTERED.

THE DOOR LATCHES BECOME INOPERATIVE IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER AND REQUIRE THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN TO BE HEATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES BEFORE THEY WILL WORK. I HAVE HAD BOTH FSA'S COMPLETED BY A FORD DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED AND COULD SWING OPEN DURING DRIVING.

THE DRIVER DOOR STOPS LATCH WILL FREEZE UP AND NOT CLOSE HALF THE TIME WHETHER ITS SITTING STILL OR IN MOTION

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW FREEZING, DOOR WILL NOT LATCH ON DRIVERS SIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO EITHER PARK IN A GARAGE (NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME) OR TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND HIT THE LOCK BUTTON. THE DOOR WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE, BUT AFTER TRUCK GETS TO WARMING TEMP, IT EVENTUALLY WILL LATCH. JUST A SUPER DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEED THE TRUCK TO GET TO WORK OR SOMETHING AND HAVE NO OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN BUT MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO RECALLS.

THE RUNNING BOARDS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY EXTEND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. MANY TIMES ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL TRY TO EXTEND BUT WILL NOT STAY, THEY IMMEDIATELY RETRACT. THIS CAUSES THE OCCUPANT TO HAVE TO TAKE A VERY LARGE STEP UP INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THEY FAIL COMPLETELY TO EVEN TRY TO EXTEND AT ALL WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. THIS OCCURS FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND WHEN IT IS ON.

WATER IS GETTING IN THE TRUCK, WETTING AND STAINING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, AND COMING OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE GRAB HANDLE, RUNNING DOWN THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS MOST APPARENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE DURING A RAIN STORM, WITH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE LOWER THAN THE BACK.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A FORD TRUCK AND JUST A NORMAL DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK JUST POWER OFF I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD SERVICE THEY TOLD ME I STILL HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY CHECK THE TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY SND THAT MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVERED THAT MALFUNCTION, I THINK THAT A NEW TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 51 THOUSANDS MILES WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS MEANING THAT FORD JUST DON'T WANT TO COVERED WHAT THEY DON'T DO RIGHT

REAR WINDOW BLOW OUT. I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING TO WARM UP. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTERS AND WENT BACK INSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE I COULD SMELL A ELECTRICAL TYPE BURNING SMELL. I AM A FIREFIGHTER AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS ODOR. NO SMOKE OR FLAMES EVER PRESENT/VISIBLE. I TURNED THEN SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP, REALIZING THAT BOTH SIDES OF MY REAR WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE NEAR IT. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW AND I HAD NEVER HAD THE SMELL IN MY TRUCK BEFORE.

SINCE NOVEMBER 2018 WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 32 DEGREES MY DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE ONCE OPENED ON MY F-150, UNTIL THE LOCK IS FORCED DOWN.. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ALL FROZEN DOOR LATCH RECALL (18NO3). WHEN THE DOORS DO CLOSE, BY FORCING THE LOCK DOWN, THEY WILL NOT REOPEN UNTIL THE TRUCK HAS WARMED UP. ALL FOUR DOORS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN THE BACK (CREW CAB). I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP HOLDING THE DRIVERS DOOR CLOSED. THE DOORS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND I, AND FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BUY BACK THE TRUCK. THE PROBLEM EXIST STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

DOORS FREEZE SHUT IN AND AROUND DOOR HANDLE SO STATIONARY VEHICLE CANNOT BE ENTERED IN COLD WEATHER. IN OTHER CASES THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED BUT WILL NOT LATCH EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. OFTEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BEFORE IT IS REALIZED THE DOOR IS NOT LATCHED AND DOOR HAS AND MAY SWING OPEN WHILE TRAVELING IF NOT HELD IN PLACE BY THE INDIVIDUALS HAND. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT DAYS IN JANUARY AND FIRST FULL WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2019 IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 22 DEGREES F. TO DATE NO INJURY NOR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAS RESULTED FROM THIS CONCERN. THE DOORS HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH DEICER ALONG WITH A STRONG DOSE OF PENETRATING OIL. THIS HAS NOT CURED THE PROBLEM.

IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS, THE DOOR LATCHES WILL NO LONGER OPERATE CAUSING THE DOORS TO OPEN FREELY. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS I RECEIVED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN" FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THE FIX PROVIDED DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR VEHICLES FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT MINE IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT IMPACTED. I'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2018 F-150 WHO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS RECALL CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO BEYOND MODEL YEAR 2017 AND AN APPROPRIATE FIX PROVIDED AS THE ONE FORD HAS DOES NOT WORK.

FROZEN DOOR LATCH NOT OPENING OR NOT LATCHING BEING PARKED 6 TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER GOING BACK TO THE DEALER

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR LATCH FAILED TO MAKE POSITIVE LATCH. DOOR REMAINED OPEN DUE TO LATCH MECHANISM BEING FROZEN WITHIN THE DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. NO PRECIPITATION FOR PREVIOUS 24 HOURS.

FROZEN DOOR LATCH. 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE. DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR LATCH FROZEN AND WOULDN'T OPEN. HAD TO GO TO PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR TO GET INSIDE MY 2017 F150. ALL OTHER DOOR LATCHES WORKING AT THIS TIME.

RECALL 18N03 - FIX FREEZING DOOR LATCHES. MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR THE RECALL TO BE COMPLETED ON 1/10/19. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE RECALL 'FIX', I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSON, STATED "YOUR VEHICLE IS FIXED (USING AIR QUOTES), BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER TROUBLE, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US. I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM YOU." THE TWO FRONT DOORS OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LATCH UNLESS THEY ARE THAWED. IN TEMPS ABOVE ROUGHLY 28 DEGREES FAHR. THEY ARE FINE, WHEN COLDER THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR KEY, HOWEVER ONCE THE DOOR IS OPENED IT WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED UNTIL THE LATCH IS THAWED. FRIDAY, 1/11/19, AFTER WORK ABOUT 7PM, I ENTERED THE TRUCK, THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE DOOR LATCHED. AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, THE DRIVER'S DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I HAD TO HOLD...

DOOR LATCHES FREEZING CAUSING DOORS TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE DOOR LATCHES DON'T WORK. I WAS DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER OR TURN THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT THE DOORS SWING OPEN. FORD HAS INSTALLED WEATHER SEALS BUT THEY SAID THAT THE FIX IS NOT WORKING AS I HAVE PROVEN I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME AND WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT

I'VE HAD THE DOORS LATCHES OF MY TRUCK FREEZE IIN THE SHUT AND OPEN POSITIONS, MAKING THE TRUCK UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN, IT'S HAPPEND MANY TIMES SINCE IT'S GOTTEN COLD OUT, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND ON ONLINE FORD F-150 FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD IT IN AND THEY DID THE FSA 18N04 ON ALL 4 DOORS, THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS TO DO THIS, THE VERY NEXT MORNING THE DOOR LATCHES ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, AT FIRST THEY UNLOCK AND THEN THE DOOR WON'T LATCH CLOSED SO YOU CAN NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE , IF YOU CAN GET THE DOOR TO LATCH AND PROCEED DRIVING VEHICLE. THE DOORS WILL COME UNLATCHED WHILE TH3 VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THIS ISSUE , FIRST IT LEAVES THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE USED IN AN EMERGENCY , AND IF THE LATCHES...

I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS ON HERE BEFORE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, 3 DOORS ON MY TRUCK HAVE EITHER NOT UNLOCKED OR LATCHED WHEN CLOSING DOOR WHEN IT'S COLD OUT , THIS IS A WIDE KNOWN PROBLEM AND FORD KEEPS ISSUING FIXES THAT DON'T WORK, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOORS OPEN WHILE THE TRUCKS BEING DRIVEN, OR WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE TRUCK AND THE LATCHES FREEZE SHUT YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT , IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND CEHICLE WAS ON FIRE YOU CAN'T GET OUT , PLEASE MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL , IT'S A HUGE SOFTY ISSUE ...

DOOR LATCHES FREEZE AND WILL NOT PROPERLY LATCH WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE OR GET STUCK LOCKED WHEN SHUT IN SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. TEMPERATURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOVE 5F BUT BELOW 32 F

MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL ON 11/7/18. WE WERE ENTERING THE ROUNDABOUT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED WHEN IT OPENED. SHE HAD TO REACH OUT AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT AS IT WOULD NO LONGER LATCH. ALL OF THE DOORS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS LATCHING THAT LAST FEW DAYS. THIS MORNING BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT LATCH AFTER BEING OPEN. LAST YEAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS UNLOCKING IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. I HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR BUT SO FAR THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THIS LATCH ISSUE.

TRUCK PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE 30F. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE/LATCH. IF I INSERTED THE KEY AND LOCKED THE DOOR IT WOULD CLOSE. ONCE OPENED AGAIN IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. AFTER A 12 MILE DRIVE, THE DOOR WORKED FINE. 7000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DO NOT CLOSE IN COLD WEATHER. DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH "NEW VERSION" THAT WAS DESIGNED AFTER A PREVIOUS RECALL. THE NEW LATCHES DO NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE STILL REMAINS AS DOORS WILL COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING SEPARATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH OUR F-150: 1. THE CAPLESS GAS TANK SYSTEM CAUSES THE GAS SHUTOFF WHEN REFILLING TO NOT STOP AT 'FULL'. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPRAY IN AN ARC FOR 3-4 SECONDS - COVERING BOTH PEOPLE AND THE GROUND WITH APPROX 16-24 OZ OF GAS. 2. THE FRONT DOORS, WHEN SUBJECTED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT RECLOSE UNTIL THE LATCH MECHANISM IS C OMPLTWTELY DEFROSTED - APPROX 15 MINUTES. THIS MEANS THAT DURING THAT TIME THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO BE CLOSED AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA/DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN IS 'SHORTING OUT', CAUSING THE CAMERA TO BE 'STUCK ON' OR THE INABILITY TO TOGGLE TO NAVIGATION OR FEATURES BEYOND THE MAIN SCREEN UNTIL A MINIMUM SPEED (APPROX 15-20 MPH) IS REACHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORMATS WERE SOAKED BY RAIN WATER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE LEAKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERED MECHANICAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ANOTHER COMPANY PROVIDED SERVICES FOR INTERIOR DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ADDRESS THE WATER DAMAGE IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,057. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 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 (CORWIN FORD OF SPRINGFIELD, 3241 S GLENSTONE AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MO 65804) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FORD DOOR LATCH RECALL: AFFECTED MODELS ARE THE F-150S MADE AT THE COMPANY'S DEARBORN PLANT FROM MARCH 12, 2014, THROUGH DEC. 31, 2016; MY TRUCK WAS MFG APRIL 2017 AT THE DEARBORN PLANT AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DOOR LATCHES FREEZE AND THEN WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO LATCH PROPERLY WHEN YOU TRY CLOSING THE DOOR.

FORD F-150 DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LOCKS OR CLOSE PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES. USING A BUNGEE TO KEEP DOOR SHUT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS THE MOST CURRENT RECALL PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN AND WILL BE A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

ON 2/21/2018 WHILE TRAVELLING WEST ON I290 IN AUBURN MY LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CANNOT BE CLOSED AND STAY CLOSED. THE DOOR LATCH APPEARS NOT TO BE WORKING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO REMEDY IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. IF MY DOGS HAD BEEN IN THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING THEY WOULD HAVE DIED. THIS IS A DEADLY DEFECT AND ALL THE 2017 FORD F150 CREW CABS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS. DOORS ON VEHICLES SHOULD NOT OPEN WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED. IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH, THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AND LANDED IN A DITCH AS THE VEHICLE STRUCK SOME BUSHES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED FIVE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER (VINTON BAKER FORD IN FAIRVIEW OKLAHOMA) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL REMEDY BUT THE SCRATCHES SUSTAINED TO THE VEHICLE'S PAINT WAS THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE, HAVE TO PUT A HEATER ON THEM TO GET THEM TO LATCH, FORD TELLS ME I'M NOT APART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL.

WHILE THERE IS A RECALL (17V652) FOR CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2015-2017, IT DOES NOT COVER MY JUNE 2017 BUILT VEHICLE. THE DOOR LATCH FREEZES DAILY ON A 4 MONTH OLD VEHICLE ANY DAY WHICH IS BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH LEAVING THE SAFETY OF ANYONE SITTING IN THE REAR SEAT VULNERABLE. IT IS NOT THE LOCK ACTUATOR OR THE RUBBER SEAL, BUT THE ACTUAL DOOR LATCH NOT CATCHING. THE FORD DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ICE, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER SITTING THEIR GARAGE FOR TWO HOURS IT FINALLY LATCHED. ONLY ONE DOOR CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS (RIGHT REAR). THE VEHICLE STAYS OUTSIDE AND IS NOT GARAGE KEPT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY UNLATCH AND OPEN. THE FAILURE OCCUR WHILE THE DOORS WERE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WHEN THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 15 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CORRY FORD, 13626 RT.6, CORRY, PA 16407) AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AFTER REPAIRING THE VEHICLE A SECOND TIME, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED DOOR DOESN'T SHUT AND LATCH DOES NOT WORK. UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AFTER HEAVY RAIN THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE IT. AFTER ROUGHLY 45 MINUTES WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, AND HEAT ON THE DOOR CLOSED PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 1/18/18 AND 1/19/18 WERE THE DATES OF OCCURRENCES.

THE TRUCK HAS A RECALL 17S33 INVOLVING DOORS NOT LATCHING DUE TO WATER. MY TRUCK HAS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER CANNOT OBTAIN THE PARTS. I'VE CALLED FORD TWICE AND JUST GET REFERRED TO THE DEALER WHO CAN'T HELP ME. AFTER MY TRUCK IS WASHED, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH CAUSING THE WARNING SIGNAL TO ACTIVATE AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON.

THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. IT TOOK 4 HOURS OF A HEATER IN A GARAGE AND SOME FORCE TO GET DOOR TO LATCH. THE ACTUAL LATCH WOULD WORK, BUT THE NOB IN THE CAR WOULD NOT WORK. THE OUTSIDE HANDLE ALSO WORKED, BUT FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT ENGAGING. I DID HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHOLE I DROVE HOME FROM THE STORE.

DOOR LATCH RECALL ' MY F150 FALLS OUTSIDE THE DOOR LATCH RECALL DATES FORD PROVIDED, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. ANYTIME THE WEATHER FALLS BELOW FREEZING MY DOORS WILL OPEN AND CANNOT BE CLOSED AS THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT ENGAGE. MY TRUCK CANNOT BE USED IN FREEZING WEATHER. FORD NEEDS TO EXTEND THE RECALL NOTICE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL DATES (PURELY DONE TO LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY!!!!). IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH DOORS THAT WILL NOT CLOSE!!!

WIND NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM BOTH FRONT DOORS. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEW ALUMINUM BODY BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AT RANDOM.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOORS WILL NOT LATCH ALL THE TIME. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. FIRST TIME THEY DID A TEMPORARY FIX. THE 2ND TIME ON DECEMBER 29, 2017 IT WAS LOOKED AT A 2ND TIME AND A 'PERMANENT FIX' WAS APPLIED TO THE DOOR LATCHES. AFTER PICKING THE TRUCK UP IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. FORD IS PUTTING OUT FAULTY PERMANENT FIXES. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. THE PASSENGER DOOR TOOK 15 TRIED TO LATCH CLOSED. DRIVERS DOOR TAKES 3-5 TRIES TO RT TO CLOSE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH . THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED IN COLD WEATHER. IN NOVEMBER 2017 I RECEIVED A NOTICE TELLING ME OF THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SAFETY RECALL NUMBER IS 17S33/ NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 17V-652.

10 OUTSIDE. STARTED MY TRUCK AND COULDN'T OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE LATCH FOR THE OUTSIDE. DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE. THE LATCH IN THE DOOR WOULDN'T WORK. IT WOULDN'T CLICK. COULDN'T LOCK THE DOOR. DROVE WITH THE DOOR UNABLE TO CLOSE TO THE LOCAL 'NON-FORD' SHOP AND THEY SAID TO WARRANTY IT AT FORD. I DROVE AN HOUR TO FORD IN RENO WITH RATCHET STRAPS HOLDING THE DOORS TOGETHER. PROBLEM WOULDN'T DUPLICATE IN RENO (30) IN RENO. THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE PARTS IF THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TURNS OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN OTHER F150S, BUT NOT MY VIN.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 F150 LARIET PICKUP TRUCK, THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPT WITH AN ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE. THE TAIL GATE HAS OPENED ON ME ON AT LEAST A DOZEN OCCASIONS.WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER WITH NO SATIFACTION THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO ANWER HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND THAT THERE WHERE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THAT THERE WAS AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AND IT IS STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND. THERE IS NO WHY TO DISABLE THE TAILGATE LOCK AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE GATE IS OPEN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND UNNERVING PROBLEM THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MANDATED TO CORRECT. BEFORE AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER IS HURT OR KILLED FROM CARGO FLYING OUT OF THE BED OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS AGAIN NO WAY TO LOCK THE TAILGATE...

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER17S33, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V652, RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. STILL WAITING ON FORD TO INITIATE CONTACT REGARDING A REPAIR DATE FOR THIS SAFETY CRITICAL REPAIR. WINTER SEASON 2017-2018 IS ALREADY UPON US WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND EVERY DAY WITHOUT REPAIR POSSIBLY PUTS MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE STEEL KEY STOP FALLING OUT OF THE KEYWAY CAUSING THE WIPERS TO BOUNCE AND LOOSE CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD IMPENDING VISIBILITY DURING HEAVY AND LIGHT RAIN THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A FORD DEALER WHO INFORMED ME AT PRESENT FORD INDICATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS UNREPAIRABLE .THE PRESENT DESIGN WHERE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE WIPER ARM AND NOT THE KNURLED KNOB OF THE WIPER ARM TRANSMISSION HAS AN INHERENT FLAW DO TO THE FACT THAT THE KEY CAN FALL OUT DUE TO VIBERATION AND GRAVITY. WHEN WIPERS ARE OPERATING , THIS COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY. THE KEY CAN FALL OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. NOW TO ADDRESS THE PAINT ISSUES , THE PAINT ON THIS NEW VEHICLE IS PITTING AND FLAKING OFF IN SEVERAL AREAS YET FORD INSISTS THAT THIS IS...
