Door latches are inoperable in temps below 30F. Door cannot be opened and/or latched closed. Two Ford recalls to remedy the issue have failed to work successfully on every door. This makes the truck either completely inoperable because I cant gain entry or a safety hazard if doors cannot be latched closed. I also fear not being able to get myself, or worse, my children out of the vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Door locks not latching in cold weather. Doors can be opened, but will not latch closed when temperatures are below freezing. Worried that even when latched they may open while driving

For more than 6 months I've been trying to get recall service for safety recall notice 17S33. The local dealer has not had the parts necessary to do the work, and the local dealer's service rep says that Ford is not sending them enough parts to comply with the recall.

Purchased used 2016 F-150 in Oct 2017. Shortly after purchase tailgate would randomly open while vehicle was in motion. Power tailgate would also open when key fob was used to lock vehicle. Tail lights would also illuminate brightly as if brakes were applied when they were not when vehicle was in motion. Other times tail lights would flicker on and off when vehicle was in motion. When computer was scanned no trouble codes were found. Eventually after several trips to BMW dealership in spokane wa where vehicle was purchased vehicle was taken to wendle Ford in spokane wa. At wendle Ford technicians found extremely frayed wiring harness in area at rear of truck where bed and frame meet. Wendle tech's said that they had never seen this type of damage / defect before, and when checking with Ford corporate there were no service bulletins reference this type of problem. This description of events was prompted after reading a news report of Ford Super Duty trucks exhibiting tail gate openings while vehicle in motion. All service notes and documentation can be obtained through wendle Ford, spokane

Doors freeze repeatedly in cold weather and will either not open or will not latch. The tsb was completed prior to the recall and did not correct the problem. Vehicle was in for service on 7/18/2018 and was told that the tsb was performed previously and no additional action would be taken. I have video that I wanted the service advisor and was told not to bother. The video shows evidence of doors failing to latch on 4/20/2018 with temperature of 32 degrees. Service advisor refused to look at the video.

2 days after my vehicle was repaired under safety recall 17S33 for the door latches freezing, they again froze and the door would not open. Upon finally getting it to open from the inside of the vehicle, the door would then not close. I have been informed by the dealership and also the technical assistance line that there is no repair for this condition and that I have to continue dealing with the issue until they find a fix. This is unacceptable and unsafe!

The doors (all 4) freeze in temp below 30 degrees. Ford replaced the hardware 4 times and they still freeze. After you open the doors they will not close until they thaw. While driving on 2 occasions the doors flew open while moving. Now use duct tape to hold doors closed

The rear tailgate opened up twice, once while driving down the highway and the second time pulling into a parking lot. This was during the winter time. I sprayed some WD40 on the rear latches thinking that would help but did not. I realized the left side latch was not engaging all the way. I could pull on the top left side tailgate and it was loose. So I would have to slam the tailgate until it engaged. I took my truck into the dealer to look at, along with two other recall issues. On my invoice they stated they 'adjusted tail gate strikers and retest operation', in time I'll see if this worked or not. Wondering if anyone else was having this same issue?

2016 Ford F150 with 23,400 miles & 23 months in service. The back glass (rear window) shattered while driving home from work. The ambient temperature was approximately 35 degrees F and I had used the remote start feature which turns on the rear window defroster. I started driving and had just pulled out of the parking lot when I heard the sound of the glass cracking. I pulled over and took pictures. I called my dealership and took vehicle in for inspection. They took photos and submitted to Ford Motor Company for warranty consideration. It was rejected. It appears that the either the rear window or the rear defroster is defective. I have seen similar complaints online and believe that this issue needs to be resolved. This should not be happening and if it does, it needs to be covered by warranty. Thank you.
