The door/latches when the weather is cold the doors will not open, the latches break, the locks wont go up or down and you are either locked out R locked in and cannot open the doors in case of emergency. Also- the latches don't work in cold weather so the doors will not close and they fly open while driving. My real issue is that according to the tsb Ford company knew of this problem on the 2015 F150S in April of 2015 and I did not buy this truck until December of 2015! that is 8 months!! and it has happened to not only 2015S but also 2016S and 2017S! this should have been a recall. Ford is getting away with it because it only happens in cold weather months and not to every Ford truck. The tsb numbers are - Ford tsb 16-0155 for 2015-2017 F150 door latch & locking in cold weather and Ford tsb # 15-0052: Here is a link to a site where there are multiple complaints in the forum https://www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?T=123522. I have video of the doors not closing after they say they fixed it. I will put a date of occurence below, but this has happened multiple times and the truck was also fixed two times for this reason, problems still persist.

Upon walking up to my car to go to the gym I noticed that my rear window was completely shattered but in one single piece. There was no sign of impact. As soon as I opened a door the entire window collapsed. This was on a hot day and truck was not on, parked on a city street not in motion. I reached out to Ford and they said they won't cover it. This happened before on the rear passenger side window.

I was traveling at highway speeds on the roadway when I heard a bang, like a gun shot. I pulled over and discovered my rear windshield had shattered. It had been rather the cold the night before, I did have the front defrost on but not the rear defrost. I observed nothing suspicious or unusal about the back of the truck area or top of cab. Further, there were no obvious holes or other markings.

Door locks/latches. I live in canton, Michigan and whenever the outside temperature drops below 32 degrees the locks fail to open and/or close. I am unable to open the door from the interior and/or exterior when this occurs. The doors locks also fail to catch when trying to close the doors and securing them. This is a extremely unsafe issue, especially if the car is involved in a motor vehicle crash and the occupants in the vehicle need to get out. Ford is telling me that the interior door hood does not properly keep water off the interior working parts of the door causing the parts to freeze and become inoperable. I am being told replacement parts are unavailable until late March 2017. This needs to be addressed and a recall ordered. This is continuing to happen to me this winter and also did during the winter months of 2015 into 2016. Ford initially was adding lube to all the working parts in a attempt to keep them from seizing up but that is not working because every time they lube the parts up within a day or two the door is malfunctioning once again.

During below freezing conditions drivers door will not close, will not lock or unlock. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin, tsb 15-0052, but the Ford service dept. Says it does not fix the problem. Not really safe driving the truck with one arm holding the door closed for several months of the year. Ford service claims there is nothing they can do unless Ford issues a recall action with a real fix.

The power locks on my truck to not operate properly. Some times they will not unlock and some times that will not lock. This morning I unlock the drivers door and go to the store, I get to the store and unlock the rear drivers door. I come back out of the store and only 1 door of the 4 doors would unlock, (drivers door) I reach across and open the passenger door from the inside, put the groceries and then the passenger side door will not lock.

I was unable to open my 2015 Ford F150 power doors using the key fob, door code buttons, or grip handle sensors. This was most concerning because the issue started with the rear doors; this caused my child to become stuck in the vehicle. The temperature was below freezing at this time. If I had not been able to release the door this would have been an immediate safety issues to my young children. This issue has since progressed to all doors becoming dysfunctional. My vehicle is now at the Ford dealership. My vehicle was both stationary and in motion at the time of incident on city streets and freeway. If I had been in an accident and quickly needed to extract my children from the vehicle the issue of the doors not functioning and freezing could have put my and my children's well fare at extreme risk.

My fiance and I were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if I was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (I know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if that helps. This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish I had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years I have owned the vehicle.

The advance track warning light and fuel assist start warning lit up then the engine speed decreased to 1000 rpms and no acceloration available this happened on ann state highway from 70 mph dropping down to 10 mph this took over 30 days to fix. Seemed to be missed diagnosed for weeks. Mechanics unable to find problem. Parts were shipped and delayed and lost. Wiring harnesses and PCM and finally throttle body seemed to correct the problem. Mixed up because computer told mechanics one thing but really another.

While driving on the highway I heard a loud pop, I thought something had hit the front window but nothing. I turned to look at the back of the truck and all of the rear window was shattered (spiderwebs). Nothing could've have hit the glass because I was driving on the highway. I took it to the dealership on a Tuesday and they filed the claim with Ford. Ford did not respond until 10 days later stating they would not fix it because the dealership did not find a cause for the shattered window. Wtf!!!! it shattered on its own that's the freaking cause...I called the service manager was told he would return my call and until now I haven't heard from him. I do not understand why is there no recall if there has been so many complaints, Ford needs to do something about this asap!! worst service ever, last Ford I ever buy!!!!

Brake failure. Pedal went completely to the floor. Warning light indicated low fluid. Took immediately for service and it was determined that the master cylinder had failed and also brake fluid had leaked into the booster. Brake fluid reservoir was completely empty. The vehicle had been stationary for a couple of days before driving. Warning light came on after first attempt to apply brakes. Vehicle was driven to Ford dealer with very minimal braking ability but not complete loss.

Getting on the interstate with my daughter and wife in truck and the gas pedal is stuck, there was no where to pull over so I took the next exit and put truck in N and shut it off. This was at 4000 miles. Called dealership they said they really couldn't help because there was no code. Then a few months later it happened again on the highway, this time we could pull over and my wife video taped it and took back to dealership and demanded something be done. They replaced the gas pedal in hopes that it works. This happened at 8000 miles. Also the rear passenger door doesn't latch in freezing temps. The dealership couldn't find a problem so it was not fixed.
