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.
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.
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!!!
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 not a warranty issue and is customer pay I short Ford is refusing to honor basic warranty issues/invoice number C24254
