Ford F-150 2018 super crew cab 2nd discovery of water leak in cab of truck with wet carpet padding and carpets again only this time the water leak was behind the back seats down the cab wall interior. Called our Ford dealership back and took our truck back in for them to assess this 2nd water leak. Our Ford dealership advised that they had to remove the truck bed to find this water leak coming in from the rear cab vents and locking tabs on vents. They also found the carpet insulator was behind the rear vents which caused the vent seal to warp and leak. They had to replace the rear vents completely then they retested for leaks and found no leaks at that time. They also replaced the truck bed bolts and had to respray in the bed liner over the bolts.

Water saturated electrical wiring under the door seal protectors on the right-side of the front and rear doors. First noticed a problem driving and applying the brakes we heard a water sloshing sound on the right side of the truck. Indications of water in cab and saturated carpet's and wiring went unnoticed due to weather tech full floor mats. We contacted Ford corporation online and they advised for us to take it into our dealership to be assessed. Our dealership made an appointment a week out, so our truck sat in our garage for an additional week. We used a shop vac and sucked out as much water as we could and left the door windows down to help dry out the interior. The dealership removed and reinstalled the trim panels with silicone sealant on both doors on the right side.

The left rear door does not always latch properly and sometimes will not unlock. Occasionally the rear door must be secured by tying it to something from the inside so that it does not fly open. It has been to the dealer twice, to have the mechanism replaced and to have Ford's door sealing recall completed. The other 3 doors work fine.

Drivers door opened backing out of my driveway. Tried to shut it and it would not shut. It appears the truck has the freeze door latch issue that Ford has been experiencing for the past 4 years. The NHTSA should demand a recall and make Ford fix the vehicles correctly. So many people are getting the service performed and it is not fixing the problem. It is definitely a safety issue when you door can fly open at anytime.

Transmission shifts very bad, cold. Hesitates, and shifts late.warm, it will not shift when throttle is pushed after releasing throttle immediately before reaccelerating. Left front door freezes bad in cold weather, twice in two days now, takes 15-20 minutes before it will stay latched. No other doors are affected. Serious problem because the door may open while driving.recalls on this problem on other years. Very dangerous.
