Moonroof jammed. The upr window is not capable of of sliding back. Rarely used and suddenly doesn't work.
- Burke, VA, USA
Ford F150 recall #18N03 where the door latch can freeze not allowing the door to close or not allowing the door to open. West hurr Ford of rochester NY told me they would not perform the recall until the door latch actually froze. My concern is that I travel fro New York to pa a lot and if it freezes when I am in pa I would be stranded until a dealer could fit me in to fix.

F150 vista moonroof frame has fractured 3 times. Including the original moonroof that was factory installed, I've now had 3 moonroofs (2 replacements) for a broken frame that controls the opening of the moonroof. The issue was noticed because the moonroof rattled during normal driving, and made noises upon opening it. Concerned about robustness if moonroof will break again, leak, or stay closed in a collision if the track breaks again.

Only 1 transmission bolt was on truck. Cost me $200 for them to put 3 bolts to hold transmission. Truck must have a defective part to cause 2 or 3 transmission bolts to come off.

Water is getting in the truck, wetting and staining the driver side airbag, and coming out of the driver side grab handle, running down the electrical instrument panel. This is most apparent when the vehicle is parked on an incline during a rain storm, with the front of the vehicle lower than the back.

My husband was driving headed South on IH35 near carl's corner Texas when a lady pulled up next to him and was flagging him down. He was at exit #374 which was his exit to come home. The lady exited as well and was screaming at him. He then rolled the window down to her saying your trucks on fire. Feb 10th 2019 this vehicle caught on fire while driving it. On Feb 11th 2019 the dealership that we bought it from towed it to the dealership. It been at the dealership since then so over 5 months at this point. Ford has yet to determine what cause the fire except the 4X4 transfer case might be to blame. It has only 36,438 miles on it. So they plan to fix what the fire damaged and give it back to us. Me or my husband don't feel safe in that vehicle especially since the cause of the fire is undetermined. This is sad that a car manufacture has so much money the consumer has no rights. We have delayed our payments with Ford motor credit for 3 months. Now since the dealership is dragging it along with will soon be repoed. We refuse to pay on a vehicle with this serious issue and is unsafe. And it's still in 100's of pieces at the dealership.

Rear doors not shutting in colder temps. Had to ratchet strap the rear doors together from the inside to keep them shut. Contacted the local dealer and service told me that it's an 8 hour fix and that may not fix it. He then told me to find a garage and thaw it out.

When ever it gets below freezing the door locks freeze and won't open all 4 doors, also if you can get them to open, they will not latch closed when closing doors, so you are unable to drive the truck
