In below freezing temperatures, drivers side front door latch fails to lock in closed position when door is closed, allowing door to open freely without using door handle. The only way to secure the door for transit is to either hold it closed manually or run a strap between the two interior door handles to keep it from flying open. After vehicle has been running for a while and interior is warmed up, latch begins working as normal.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that another vehicle crashed into her vehicle, causing it to fishtail. The rear driver's side tire went into an embankment. There was a stump in the embankment that punctured a hole in the rear driver's side tire. The vehicle was unable to be driven. The driver's and passenger side air bags had not deployed. The curtain air bags deployed. Within a short period of time, a fire erupted from the area of the driver's side window to the passenger side. The flames consumed the cabin of the vehicle. The driver and front passenger were able to exit the vehicle. There were no injuries. The dealer (heritage Ford, 1600 shelburne rd, South burlington, vt 05403, 802-865-8140) was contacted more than twice and asked that the manufacturer be contacted. The Vermont state police towed the vehicle to their yard for investigation. The vehicle was later included in NHTSA campaign number: 18V568000 (structure, seat belts), although the contact was not notified. The manufacturer was contacted when the crash occurred; however, the contact had not received a response in a reasonable time frame. The failure mileage was 10,000.

The vehicle is stationary and when the passenger door is unlocked with the key fob the tailgate fails down. When the driver exits the vehicle the tailgate falls down. By falls down I mean the tailgate on the pickup is closed and in the vertical position and the only way to open the tailgate is with the key fob. The tailgate fob is depressed and the tailgate opens (falls down) automatically. Only the tailgate controls are incorrectly opening the tailgate when the passenger door is opened with the key fob or when you get in the back doors. Also after driving the truck when opening the drivers door the tailgate drops down. If a child or adult happens to be behind the truck the can get hurt.

Doors will no shut and latch in cold temperatures. Very unsafe. Has happened multiple days.

In cold weather the door latches freeze causing the doors to remain unlatched. This caused my rear doors to fly open when I went around a corner. There was a recall but it doesn't cover the 2018 model year. My truck was made in Oct 2017, and I took delivery in mid Dec 2017. The dealer will inspect, but as yet Ford doesn't appear to have a fix for the issue.
