Door latch on 2015 Ford F150 malfunctioned during freezing temperatures. On Monday, January 11 2016 my truck had been started using the remote start and ran for 10+ minutes (heat on),when I entered my truck and began backing out of the driveway, I noticed the door ajar light was on along with all overhead lights, the driver's side door was still ajar and would not latch. After numerous attempt to close the door it only latched after the truck warmed up. The outside temperature at the time was 27 degrees, and truck had not been exposed to rain or washed in five days. Afrer researching online and many forums, I have noticed that this is an issue that has been identified on F150's manufactured in 2015. However, when I called Ford motor customer service they advised according to their records they have no issues for my F150 which was manufactured in August 2015. Dealer wants the truck brought in and left with them, I am not a fan of spraying a lube on door latch and claiming it's fixed. Ford nor the dealer would answer my question of how did you resolve the issue with previous F150's that had this same issue or have you had any F150 trucks recently with this issue? appointment is being scheduled with dealer asap. Ford should issue a recall to permanently fix door latching mechanism, so doors latch in low temperatures. From my understanding this is an issue on more 2015 F150's than just the ones manufactured prior to March 2015. No matter the weather, you shouldn't have the worry of your door closing...especially on a new vehicle. Ford advised me that they would make you aware of the issue and I just wanted to make sure that you knew about the issue and voice my concerns.

While driving brand new 2015 F150xlt supercrew with 6.5ft bed I was full stopped about 20ft behind a car that was waiting for another car to turn as I looked up in rear view mirror saw another truck coming behind me down hill at approximatley 45mph the speed limit on the state route 2 lane just before entering town. I heard him lock up his brakes and slam into the back of my truck pushing me 15 to 20ft slamming me into the SUV in front of me hitting me at dead stop square on in the back driving me square on into vehicle infront of me, no airbag ever deployed I was thrust agianst the steering wheel in a snapping action. The impact was so forcefull it moved the supercrew back seat from the down position to the full upright and locked in place position agianst the back of the cab. The truck was only 6 days old with 370 miles on it. With that impact front and back I would think airbags would have deployed. The force of the impact bent the frame down in the back and bent the frame up in the front see the attached pictures.

Doors not latching and lock S not working in freezing temperatures. On several occasions when the temperature drops below freezing, the door latches will not engage when you close the door. Also, the door locks will not operate. I have had to drive my vehicle while holding the driver's door closed with my hand until it warmed up enough for the door latch to work. There is a tsb for this issue. Tsb 15-0052. It calls for the removal of all 4 door panels. Inspect latches and cables. Apply grease to all components and then reassemble the door panels. Tsb work was done by marysville Ford in marysville, wa on 12-2-2015. Problem still exists. Vehicle was taken back to dealership and kept for 2 more days on January 12 2016. Service department can not replicate problem in heated shop. Service department told me they contacted the Ford service hotline and was told there is no fix at this time. At this time I am not able to fully use my vehicle in below freezing temperatures. This is a safety concern for driver and passengers. Can not latch door to drive vehicle and if in an accident the locks would not release trapping passengers inside the vehicle. Ford needs to address this issue and provide a recall immediately.

Doors latches do not function correctly in freezing conditions. Door will not latch closed thus forcing me to drive with a door that is not secured and could swing open.

This morning the temp. Was 6 degrees outside, my truck was parked in the garage I opened the door got in and started the vehicle. Once I tried to close the door driver door it wouldn't latch close. I tried to unlock/lock it from inside and outside the vehicle but still would latch closed. Instead of getting it toed to a dealer I had to drive while holding my door closed. Once I got to work (30 mile drive) the door began to latch again... this put me in a safety risk and it is a common occurrence with the new F150's from reading the forum community. Please help get Ford to fix it. The dealer just wanted to spray lube externally on the door mechanism which does nothing.

Drivers side sideview mirror glass is loose and will shake going over bumps or driving at highway speeds. During particularly high wind, bumpy highway travel, it can be extremely difficult to discern what you are seeing in the mirror, making it very difficult and unsafe to perform lane changes. This has been described by Ford Motor Company as an "unfavorable characteristic of the vehicle".
