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

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 do appear to latch and you use the vehicle the latches allow the doors to fling open while driving, this is both a huge safety issue and Ford needs to actually fix this problem and stop bandage the issue...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
