2018 Ford F-150 complaints

I JUST PURCHASED OUR TRUCK SO THE DEALERSHIP WASHED IT. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OUTSIDE IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND THE DOOR LATCH ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT HOLD THE DOOR SHUT. THE DOOR WOULD JUST BOUNCE BACK OPEN WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT. AFTER PLAYING AROUND WITH THE LOCKS FOR A WHILE, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND AGAIN THE PASSENGER DOOR WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TAKING TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY TO HOPEFULLY GET IT FIXED. I'VE BEEN SEEING THAT THIS "FIX" DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK THOUGH.

THE HEADLIGHTS, REG BEAMS, NOT HIGHLIGHTS, ARE REALLY DIM AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING IN EXTREME RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS HARD TO SEE WHAT LAND YOU ARE IN AND VERY HARD TO SEE IN GENERAL. IT IS AS IF I AM DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS ON. I HAVE HAD 20 CARS INCLUDING OTHER MFG TRUCKS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN ON THE FREEWAY.

I HAVE A 2018 FORD F-150. MY DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED AT ALL WHEN IT FREEZES OUTSIDE AFTER IT HAS RAINED OR MOISTURE WAS IN THE AIR (FROST). I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK HOLDING IT CLOSED, NOT LATCHED, MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EACH TIME. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OUT FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. I HAD A 2016 F-150 THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IT. FORD CALMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF I GET IN A WRECK IT COULD BE FATAL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK ANYMORE AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO FIX IT. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

I BOUGHT THIS VEH IN WARM WEATHER WAS NOT ADVISED IN COLD WEATHER THER DOORS WILL FREEZE UP AND YOU CAN'T GET INTO YOUR VEH. IF THE DOORS DO GET OPEN THEY ARE FROZEN AND THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT. IF NEED FOR MEDICAL REASON YOUR IN TROUBLE IF YOU WORK IN THE WOODS WITH ON CELL SERVICE YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2015 AND STILL HAS NOT FIXED IT IN THE 2019 F-150 PICKUPS I WENT TO THE GROCREY STORE THE DOORS WERE WORKING WHILE IN THE STORE THE DOORS FROZE UP. I HAD TO WAIT TILL THE SUN GOT ON THE VEH TO GET THE DOORS OPEN. THERE ARE PICTURES OF PEOPLE WHO GET THE DOOR OPEN IT IS LOCKED IT WON'T SHUT SO THE BUNGICORD THE DOOR SHUT TO GET TO WORK. THIS IS ON THE INTERNET. HOW CAN THIS BE SAFE. HOW LONG BEFORE FORD IS MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE PUT GREASE IN THE LOCK BUT IN MOST CASE THIS MAKE THE PROBLEM WORST. PLEASE HELP

10-SPEED TRANSMISSION HESITATES/RANDOMLY SHIFTS CONSTANTLY DURING DRIVING. WHEN STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AFTER BEING COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE VEHICLE LURCHES AND AN AUDIBLE CLUNK CAN BE HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING, TODAY THAT HAS GOTTEN FAR WORSE AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON. I HAD A 45 MINUTE DRIVE HOME AND THE TRUCK STRUGGLED TO GET UP TO 40 MPH. THIS ERRATIC TRANSMISSION BEHAVIOR MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PREDICT HOW THE VEHICLE WILL BEHAVE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL.

I BOUGHT A NEW F-150 LAST AUGUST FROM THE FORD DEALER IN ASHBORO, NC. WITH BELOW FREEZING WEATHER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED THROUGH A MESSAGE ON HIS WEBSITE BUT HAS NOT RESPONDED. THE LAST F-150 I OWNED DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NEITHER DID A COUPLE E-150 VANS BEFORE THAT. I DID HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A FORD MUSTANG BACK IN THE 70'S BUT FOUND THAT I COULD PUSH DOWN THE DOOR LOCK BEFORE SLAMMING THE DOOR. THE LOCK WOULD THEN POP UP AND THE DOOR WOULD LATCH. THIS TECHNIQUE DID NOT WORK WITH THE NEW F-150. I THINK THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION, I.E. HOLDING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SHUT SINCE IT WANTS TO FLY OPEN DURING RIGHT TURNS. YOU WOULD THINK THAT FORD WOULD AT LEAST INCLUDE A HOOK ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR SO YOU COULD LOOP THE SEAT BELT THROUGH IT TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED IN COLD WEATHER.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR (FRONT AND REAR) DOES NOT LOCK OR LATCH IN COLD WEATHER.

MY DOORS HAVE BEEN FROZEN OPEN OR CLOSED ALL WINTER LONG. THE CAME OPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ONE POINT. FORD CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT.

SUPER LOW TEMPERATURES HIT OUR AREA AROUND 17 DEGREES AND THE LOCKS FREEZE TO THE POINT TO WHERE I CAN OPEN THE DOOR BUT THE ACTUATORS WON'T RETURN TO THE LOCK POSITION AND I HAVE TO THAW THE LOCK OTHERWISE THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND AM UNABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE

AFTER NIGHT OF RAIN AND FALLING TEMPERATURES, 56F DOWN TO 20F, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ON 2018 F150 WOULD NOT LATCH AFTER BEING OPENED. REAR DOOR DID NOT LATCH INITIALLY BUT AFTER TRUCK OPERATED FOR SOME TIME REAR DOOR DID LATCH.

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN 18 DEGREE FARENHEIT TEMPERATURE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. DRIVER HAD TO STOP VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR. SIMILAR REPORTS FOUND ON NHTSA SITE.

ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH ON MY TRUCK HAS STUCK OPEN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO LATCH THE DOOR CLOSED. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE HOME BOTH TIMES HOLDING THE DOOR SHUT WITH MY LEFT ARM AND ONE HAND STEERING THE WHEEL. WHEN GOING AROUND TURNS I HAD TO SLOW WAY DOWN BECAUSE THE DOOR WEIGHT MULTIPLIED WITH FORCE AND GOT VERY HEAVY AND HARD TO STOP FROM FLYING OPEN..I DONT KNOW IF THE OTHER LATCHES ON MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE STUCK OPEN AS I WAS TO AFRAID TO TRY IT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM PROPERLY LATCHED SHUT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS IS A HUGE WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH FRONT AND REAR DOORS ON 2015-2018 F150'S AND FORDS FIX IS TO SMEAR SOME GREASE AND OIL ON IT AND PUT A COVER OVER THE LATCH HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL FIX ON ANY OF THE VEHICLES THEY HAVE DONE. IT IS IN NO DOUBT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS TO ROLL OVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR WASNT LATCHED IT WOULD SURELY BE CRUSHED AND POSSIBLY COME BACK INTO THE CAB INJURING A DRIVER OR RIPPED OF EXPOSING THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGERS TO HAZARDS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. WILL THE TRUCK FAIR THE SAME IN A HEAD ON CRASH OR FRONT OVERLAP CRASH AS TESTED? I STRONGLY URGE WHOMEVER TO TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND MAKE FORD FIX THIS ISSUE.. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY.

WHILE RUNNING DEFROSTER, BOTH FRONT AND BACK, CABIN FILLED WITH ACRID SMOKE. PULLED OVER ONTO SHOULDER OF TERTIARY ROAD TO INVESTIGATE FOR FIRE. WHILE PARKED, I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD "CRACK" AND THE REAR WINDOW HAD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED.

REAR CREW CAB DOORS DO NOT OPEN AFTER TEMPERATURE FREEZES. (CAN NOT GET INTO VEHICLE) AT TIMES REAR DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE AND FLY OPEN WHILE OPERATING. NOW PASSENGER FRONT DOOR NO LONGER OPENS USING THE INTELLIGENT ACCESS SYSTEM WITH THE DOOR HANDLE.

DOOR LATCHES NOT LATCHING WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANDY SHAW FORD (1231 E MAIN ST, SYLVA, NC 28779, (828) 586-0900) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED, BUT WAS UNAWARE OF THE SPECIFICS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED THAT THE ENGINE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION WAS ENGAGED, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RE-START ENGINE. THIS WAS WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ALREADY DISENGAGED, WHICH I ALWAYS DO. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR ENGINE TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE TO STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, AND RE-START IT IN MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL FORUMS. VEHICLE IS A 2018 FORD F150 XLT, 5.0 ENGINE, HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT.

THE DOORS WILL BECOME UNLOCKED AND UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING. IT WAS COLD AND I WAS LEAVING WORK. DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AT FIRST. THE DOOR FINALLY SHUT AND LATCHED. I PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON JUST TO BE SURE. GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DOOR OPENED. I HAD TO HOLD MY DOOR SHUT WITH ALL MY STRENGTH WHILE GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T LEAVE IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE DOOR SHUTTING. IT HAPPENED THE NEXT MORNING AS WELL TRYING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH ON A COLD DAY. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER, THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL, REMOVED THE MOISTURE THAT FROZE UP THE LATCHING MECHANISM AND LUBED THE PARTS. SIX DAYS LATER THE DOOR LATCH FROZE UP AGAIN. COULDN'T GET INTO THE TRUCK. CLIMBED THROUGH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND OPEN IT. THEN IT WOULDN'T LATCH CLOSED. FORCED THE LOCK DOWN AND LET THE TRUCK SIT AND WENT TO WORK. CALLED DEALER TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AGAIN. SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. TWO DAYS LATER I CALLED AND THEY SAID MY VIN WOULD BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST AND AS SOON AS MY TRUCK GOT OKAYED, THEY WOULD ORDER PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I DON'T DRIVE MY BRAND NEW TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE DOOR LATCHING PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED ON THE 2015-2017 FORD F-150 TRUCKS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON LOTS OF THOSE TRUCKS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NOW MY 2018 TRUCK WILL NEED FIXED UNDER A SIMILAR RECALL AS SOON AS FORD FIGURES OUT WHAT TO DO FOR THE FIX. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO HANDLE THIS. I'M PRETTY DISAPPOINTED IN MY NEW TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A RECEIPT OF THE WORK THEY'VE DONE SO FAR. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

I AM EXPERIENCING DOOR LATCH ISSUES ON MY 2018 FORD F150 SUPERCREW PICKUP TRUCK. IN COLD WEATHER, I AM ABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, BUT UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT BOUNCES BACK AT ME. I AM CONCERNED THE DOOR IS NOT SECURE, AND CAN OPEN AT ANY TIME. THE DOOR WILL SUBSEQUENTLY CLOSE ONLY AFTER THE TRUCK IS RUNNING WITH THE HEAT ON HIGH FOR OVER 30 MINUTES. THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY AS WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT IN THE REAR SEATS AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHEN WE EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WINTER THAT THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN WIDELY DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH FORD, AND THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE NEWER F150'S ARE IMPACTED.

THE DOORS OF THE F150 WILL NOT OPEN OR LATCHED CLOSE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING.

WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURES DIP BELOW FREEZING, THE DOOR LATCHES ON THE F-150 FREEZE AND NO LONGER LATCH. THE COLDER IT GETS, THE WORSE THE LATCHES PERFORM. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES WITH A COMPLETELY UNSECURED DOOR. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS, AS WHEN I MAKE A TURN THE DOOR FLIES OPEN NEARLY STRIKING NEARBY CARS. I WORK 20 MILES FROM HOME, AND HAVE DRIVEN 20 FULL MILES WITH AN UNSECURED DOOR EVEN AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK RUNNING FOR UPWARDS OF AN HOUR BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH THE HEAT ON HIGH. I HAVE BEEN LATE FOR WORK DUE TO MY INABILITY TO SECURE THE DOOR THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE SECURED BY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES NOW, AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY, THEY JUST KEEP PUSHING IT BACK ON THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS WORKING ON IT, BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT FORD HASN'T GIVEN THEM ANYTHING TO WORK WITH AS FAR AS FIXING IT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE BBB IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE. BY ALL THE FORUMS ONLINE, AND COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THESE VEHICLES, I AM CLEARLY NOT THE ONLY PERSON. FORD KEEPS SELLING THESE VEHICLES, AND DOES NOT DISCLOSE THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE CONSUMERS. THEN WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE UNSAFE VEHICLES WHILE PAYING A PREMIUM PRICE FOR THEM.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN COLD. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RAINING OR SNOWING LIKE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE LATCH RELEASES BUT WILL NOT RE LATCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER, THE DOORS FAILED TO LATCH CLOSED AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROMANO FORD (5431 N BURDICK ST, FAYETTEVILLE, NY 13066, (315) 637-4491) WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED THE STOP/START TECHNOLOGY DISABLES THE ABILITY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN IT'S TIME TO ACCELERATE AND TURN QUICKLY THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT BECOME AVAILABLE FOR FOR SOME TIME. I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO CRASHING SEVERAL TIMES AND HIT A CURB ON ONE OCCASION AS A RESULT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER. THE DEALER TOLD ME AT THE LAST VISIT THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE STOP START TECHNOLOGY AND I JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE POWER STEERING TO BECOME AVAILABLE WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC SINCE SOMETIMES THIS NEEDS TO BE A SIMULTANEOUS ACTION OF ACCELERATING AND TURNING AT THE SAME TIME.

THE ISSUE I HAVE INVOLVES THE DOOR LATCHES NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. ONCE DOOR(S) HAVE BEEN OPENED THEY WILL NOT LATCH WHEN YOU TRY TO CLOSE THEM. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS PERFORMED TSB 18N03 ON ALL FOUR DOORS (TWICE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR) AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR. VEHICLE MUST SIT WITH THE HEAT ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE LATCHES WILL FUNCTION AGAIN WASTING OWNERS TIME AND GAS. THERE WERE TIMES THAT I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE HOLDING THE DOOR SHUT BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT LATCH. I HAVE A COUPLE OF VIDEOS TO DEMONSTRATE THE ISSUES BUT THE FILE SIZE IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD BUT WOULD BE WILLING TO SEND TO SOMEONE VIA EMAIL AT YOUR REQUEST. DURING MY RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT FORD HAS NOT REMEDIED AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN ONE HAS TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT WHILE DRIVING.

DOOR LATCH DOESN'T WORK/KEEP DOOR CLOSED WHEN IT'S BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN IT'S BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT REMAIN LATCHED AND SECURED. THE DOORS UNLATCHED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVENS FORD (717 BRIDGEPORT AVE, MILFORD, CT) WHO INSTALLED A LUBRICATE TO THE DOORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

ALL 4 DOORS ON THE VEHICLE WERE FROZEN THIS MORNING. I WAS ABLE TO REMOTE START THE TRUCK TO TRY AND WARM IT UP, BUT HAD TO TAKE AN UBER TO WORK AS THAT DID NOT WORK. I HAD THE DEALER PERFORM FIELD SERVICE ACTION 18N03 ON THE TRUCK LAST MONTH.

WHEN DECELERATING FROM DRIVING SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT APPROXIMATELY 5-8 MPH DISABLING THE POWER STEERING. A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY "AUTO STARTSTOP MANUAL RESTART REQUIRED." TRANSMISSION MUST BE SHIFTED TO N OR P TO RESTART. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AT SUBSEQUENT STOPS, WHILE STILL MOVING, DISABLING POWER STEERING. DISABLING THE AUTO STARTSTOP BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD HAS NO EFFECT ON THIS HAPPENING.

THE DOOR LATCHES ON MY 2018 FORD F150, WHEN BELOW FREEZING, FREQUENTLY FREEZE, THEY WILL OPEN, THEN NOT LATCH SHUT UNTIL I WARM THE LATCHES WITH A HEAT GUN, SOMETIMES THE DOORS WILL APPEAR TO CLOSE, ONLY TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS IS VERY COMMON, AND THERE IS A TSB FOR THE ISSUE. RECENTLY, I WAS TRAVELING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY, AND THE DOOR THAT MY 8 MONTH OLD SON WAS SITTING AT FLUNG OPEN, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND LIMPED THE TRUCK HOME, UNABLE TO GET THE DOOR CLOSED. I HAVE VIDEO OF ME TRYING TO CLOSE THAT DOOR WITH MY SON SITTING IN HIS CAR SEAT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE OPPOSITE REAR DOOR, WHICH I ALSO GOT VIDEO OF. THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2016 F150 WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, I HAVE VIDEOS OF MYSELF TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS ON THAT VEHICLE, BEFORE, AND AFTER FORD TRIED TO FIX THAT TRUCK, DUE TO THIS, AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THAT 2016, I TRADED IT IN AT A LOSS FOR MY 2018 F150, WHICH FORD CLAIMED WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS THAT MY PREVIOUS TRUCK HAD. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD TO ATTEMPT TO FIX MY 2018 F150, BUT I AM NOT CONFIDENT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX IT, AS THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE REVISED TSB THEY ARE USING NOW, ALSO DOESN'T WORK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON ALL 2015+ F150S, AND ON 2017+ 250S, AND 350S, AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2015, ALL ALUMINUM BODIED FORD F-SERIES TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL A WORKABLE FIX IS DEVELOP

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE ACCELERATOR ON MY FORD F-150 BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN BUT IT ONLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGHER RATE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND PULL OVER TO A SAFE AREA,WITH THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, NOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A PROBLEM.

IN WEATHER BELOW 32 DEGREES F DOOR LOCKS FREEZE. POWER LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK. INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE MAY WORK WITH EFFORT. KEY MAY WORK WITH EFFORT. ONCE OPEN, DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE STOP/START MODE ACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD AND STALLED. THE DRIVER HAD TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE ENGINE TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CORWIN FORD (3241 S. GLENSTONE AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FAULTY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *TT DEALER STATED FAILURE WAS DUE TO BATTERY. BATTERY WAS REPLACED JAN. 25, 2019. BATTERY LASTED 43 DAYS, THIRD BATTERY WAS INSTALLED ON MARCH 19,2019.*JB

IN THE MORNING I OPENED THE FRONT DOOR, GOT IN AND CLOSED THE DOOR AND DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND WOULD JUST BOUNCE. I PUSHED THE LOCK/ UNLUCK BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. I WAS GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK SO I JUST HELD THE DOOR CLOSED. 30 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE THE WHILE PUSHING THE LOCK/ UNLOCK BUTTON AND THE DOOR FINALLY LATCHED. I HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN NOW 4 DIFFERENT DAYS AND ON BOTH FRONT AND PASSENGER AND DRIVERS DOORS. FORD STATES THERE IS NO TSB FOR MY 2018 FORD. THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 1 MONTH OLD. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE DOORS DOING SUCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCHES WERE INOPERABLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO LATCH THE DOORS AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK AND OPEN THE DOORS FOR RE-ENTRY INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROMEO FORD OF KINGSTON (128 NY-28, KINGSTON, NY 12401, (845) 338-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE REAR DOOR LOCKING MECHANISMS WERE NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,646.

I DROVE OFF AND THE PASS DOOR OPENED UP WILE MAKING A LEFT TURN . I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND THE LATCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE

WHILE DRIVING OVER A RAILROAD CROSSING, MY TRUCK DIED. THE SCREEN ON THE DASH STATED THERE WAS AN ERROR WITH THE AUTO START/ STOP FEATURE. I HAD TO PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK TO RESTART IT WHILE STILL ON THE TRAIN TRACKS. I HAD THE AUTO START/ STOP DEACTIVATED AT THE TIME VIA THE BUTTON ABOVE THE SYNC 3 SCREEN.

WHILE DRIVING, BETWEEN ABOUT 800 AND 1700RPMS, WHEN YOU LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE TIMING CHAINS RATTLE FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME WITHIN THOSE RPM RANGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, THE PARK AID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BACK-UP SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IMPERIAL FORD (8 UXBRIDGE RD, MENDON, MA 01756, 888-814-8373) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

REAR DOOR LATCH OF CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCK FROZE IN OPEN POSITION. DOOR CAN NOT CLOSE OR BE LOCKED. DOOR FLIES OPEN WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE MAKING VEHICLE UNSAFE AND NOT DRIVEABLE. DISCOVERED PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AN DOOR SPRANG OPEN 40 MPH.

ALL THE DOOR LATCHES FREEZE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE DO OPEN THE DOOR THEN WHEN IT OPENS YOU CAN'T CLOSE THE DOORS.

THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH AND LOCK FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 27 DEGREES. DOOR WILL EITHER NOT OPEN OR NOT LATCH CLOSED.VERY DANGEROUS! ON A COLDER MORNING, BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOOR LOCKS FROZE AFTER I HAD OPENED THEM AND DROVE AWAY. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IN COLD WEATHER, I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE! I ALSO HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK ONE DAY HOLDING THE DRIVERS DOOR CLOSED! AFTER AIR TEMPERATURE OR VEHICLE WARMS, LATCHES AND LOCKS FUNCTION NORMALLY. NOT GOOD LIVING IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE.

DOOR LATCH FREEZING AND WILL NOT LATCH AND UNLATCH PROPERLY IN FREEZING TEMPS. HAS BEEN INTO DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND WAS TOLD NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR ME.

REAR ELECTRONIC TAILGATE OPENS ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 15 TIMES IN FOUR MONTHS. FREQUENCY INCREASING. DANGER TO OTHERS. A KNOWN ISSUE ON F250 AND 350 MODELS, NOW ON F150 TOO

THE STEERING CONSTANTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT AND PULLS TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING HAS IMPULSES THAT ARE FELT IN THE STEERING DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATES AND ATTEMPTS TO MAKE STEERING CORRECTIONS AT ANY SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL REMAIN TURNED IN ONE DIRECTION. FOR EXAMPLE, DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE GOING LEFT, HANDS CAN BE REMOVED FROM STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK ITSELF IN POSITION AND STAY TURNING LEFT. THE DYSFUNCTIONAL STEERING DROVE ME OFF OF A 2 LANE ROAD AT 55MPH. THE POOR STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE CREATES AN UNSAFE AND NOT ROAD WORTHY VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION CAN NOT DECIDE WHICH GEAR TO BE IN CREATING PAUSES OF POWER DISTRIBUTION TO THE REAR WHEELS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND PULLS THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH CREATING LOUD CLUNKING NOISES AND RATTLING THE PASSENGERS. THE POOR OPERATION OF THE TRANSMISSION CREATES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

VEHICLE PARKED IN HOME DRIVEWAY AT 4:30 AM. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 26 DEGREES F. WALKED UP TO VEHICLE. OPENED DRIVER'S DOOR AND LEFT REAR DOOR. ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOORS AND NEITHER WOULD LATCH CLOSED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE DOORS WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE THEY STILL WOULD NOT CLOSE. DOORS WOULD BOUNCE OPEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE. LATCHES WOULD NOT ENGAGE DOORS SHUT WHATSOEVER. ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOORS FROM SITTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND SAME RESULTS. DOORS WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED AND REMAINED STUCK OPEN. IT WAS NECESSARY TO HEAT THE DOOR LATCHES DIRECTLY WITH A HEAT GUN FOR 5-10 MINS EACH BEFORE THEY WOULD LATCH CLOSED IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND INCONVENIENCE MAKING ME LATE FOR WORK.THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED 3 CONSECUTIVE MORNINGS NOW FROM JAN 14, 2019 - JAN 16, 2019. DOORS DO NOT OPERATE NORMALLY IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPS.

THE DRIVERS FRONT AND BACK DOORS DURING COLD WEATHER WILL NOT LATCH AND CLOSE.

IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER MY DOORS WILL NOT STAY SHUT UNTIL THE INTERRIOR OF THE CABIN WARMS WHICH TAKES NEARLY 30 MIN. BUT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE DOORS CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING WITH LATCHES NOT FUNCTIONING KEEPING DOOR SECURE.

DURING SOME STARTS ENGINE WILL PRODUCE A SMELL. LOOKING UNDERNEATH VEHICLE, I'VE NOTICED 2 LEAKS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
