I had the recall repaired on my 2017 F150 in 2022, for the freezing door latches not latching and letting the door stay closed. I did have issues with it in -??23 but it was only once or twice and I didn-??t do anything about it. I had issues with the latching again this winter (Jan. 2024) and had a new problem where the door would not UNLOCK and just brought it into Ford to maybe have them do a recall fix on latches again on it but they said there is nothing they can do. It is our only vehicle right now and my wife is currently pregnant and my main concern is us needing to leave in an emergency and not being able to get the doors open because of the locks or then having them not able to stay shut cause the latches won-??t work.

I had the recall done for unintended tailgate opening. However, twice now while pulling out of my driveway the tailgate has opened on its own. I have video from my ring camera showing the tailgate opening as I am proceeding out of my driveway into the street on both occasions.

I've added all 4 doors not latch closed at different times. I also had my front driver's door pop open while driving, this happens when the temperature is cold and freezing. I've spoken with two different Ford dealers and they both said they haven ne er heard of this problem. I have spoken with people who own the same vehicle and they say it's common and Ford really doesn't have a fix or if something is done it's shot term and starts happening again. I feel this is a very dangerous situation.

On cold days, general below 30 degrees, the drivers door will not latch. After the temperature warms, the door will latch. This renders the truck useless for 4 months of the year where we live. I have seen recalls on other Ford F150 for the door latch. But there are no active recalls for my truck. This is a major safety issue. Especially if the truck door comes unlatched while driving.

Frame & suspension problem. Left front wheel attaches to frame was rusted and the wheel tilted in so it was not drivable. Fortunately, I was not driving at highway speed. Otherwise, I easily could have lost control of my truck. Navarre Ford Body Shop, St. Louis, Michigan looked at the damage & shipped it to Grand Rapids Michigan, ProAm Collision & Mechanical for repairs to frame & suspension. They are calling it a fractured frame. The two parties above have inspected the vehicle. There was no police report filed. No warning lights etc. Noticed issue with left front wheel while driving in residential area.

door latch freezes during frigid temperatures and wont latch closed and if door is closed hard enough it wont register the warning light but can fly open while driving had this happen multiple times with the passenger doors once with my 3 year old childs door. i had to ratchet strap it closed to get home there is open recalls for this problem just not for my vin# this is the first ive personally reported this issue since buying the vehicle. and sometimes the door ajar warning will come on if the door isnt shut hard enough but thats after the issue happens, the door will shut but not latch causing a major safety concern.

When the temperature outside drops below freezing, the rear driver's side door has either been stuck closed or will not latch properly. Ford needs to issue a formal recall on this. If the door to open while driving this would not be safe to the passengers in the vehicle. if I were to get into an accident, I would not have easy access to the occupants in the back as the door maybe stuck and will not open.

Doors would not unlock with key fob in 23 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Had to unlock manually with key. Then door would not latch closed manually or automatically. Feels unsafe to drive because doors can swing open while driving and items or passengers in the vehicle could fall out onto roadway.

The contact owns a 2017 FORD F-150. The contact stated that the rear glass sliding window had become defective due to the sliding track. The contact also stated that the top track had detached from the window which allowed moisture to enter the cabin of the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer and was given an estimate for the repair of the window. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

Ford F-150 moon roof ramp/guide jaw (part # fl3Z1651070B/fl3Z1651071B) stopped working. The moon roof malfunctions getting suck in the open mode, or failing to close properly if at all. Many Ford owners have experienced the same issue, to the point that there are videos on the internet pertaining to this malfunction. While attempting to get this repair fixed at the Ford dealership the employees advised me that they see this issue often, and that the glass shatters and breaks from this malfunction. I was quoted $400 to remedy the issue, and would have to leave my vehicle at the dealership for the day. The estimated time to complete the repair was four hours.

The temperature was about 17 degrees Fahrenheit. The driver and.and driver side rear doors would not latch upon closing. I was able to get the doors to latch by heating the latch with a hair dryer, spraying the latch with silicone lube, and simultaneously operating the electric lock switch multiple times. I have had no further problems. Fortunately, I was at home when the problem occurred. Had I been on the road, I would have been stranded. The vehicle was stationary when the problem was discovered.

The latch on the doors of the truck does not lock when the temperature gets very cold outside possibly causing any adult or child to fall out of the vehicle while moving or parked, this is a concerned and safety issue for any ages. Also car makes rattle noise and at times shut off and recently having oil leak.is a 2017 it shouldn't have any problems.

In below freezinng temps the door latches freeze up. Makig it hard to enter the truck and once in the doors refuse to latch closed, so unless you want to drive around with the doors unlatcked you have to wait until the truck warm up enough to thaw the latches. Not what you want from a $38K truck.
