Body
It has been nearly nine months since ford first reported a recall on certain ford f-150 trucks related to faulty door latches. To date, ford has still not notified effected owners how or where they can have their vehicles repaired. I encourage the nhtsa to determine whether or not ford is living up to its obligations to repair the defect on a timely basis. Lives are at stake.

Drivers side door will not latch in cold weather. It has left my truck stranded multiple times. As soon as the outside temp gets above freezing the door will latch as normal. This is a serious safety issue that ford needs to address.

Drivers door latch will not keep door shut. Some cold mornings the truck can not be used. The door will open, but not latch shut. Seems to have to do with the inside door handle, it will flop around and not reset. At some time as it heats up it will start working again. This morning it was 8deg, drove my child to bus stop. Got out of truck and door would not latch shut. Had to drive home with dome light on and…

The trucks doors and locks often will freeze in cold weather. The locks might not unlock the doors, sometimes you'll hear the actuator trying to unlock the door, other times it is so frozen you won't even hear the attempt. The doors can't be unlocked with the key either. Once you've heated the mechanism enough to enter through one of the doors (per internet postings and service bulletins, the problem is only with…

I've had issues with my door latches having my vehicle door open while driving and not locking properly or shutting properly. I have also had issues with my doors being frozen shut due to moisture getting inside the door and then freezing. My dealer has tried to fix this recall twice which failed both times. I've also been notified that the recall fix is not a permanent fix by ford technicians. Clearly this recall…

At freezing temperatures, the front drivers side door will not always open. If it does, it may not latch when closing and i have to drive home holding the door closed. I took it to the dealer last winter and they said they could not replicate the problem. Apparently there is a tsb from ford identified as 15-0052. This is a nuisance at minimum and dangerous if the door will not close. My model is a super cab.

Windshield washer fluid frozen in lines. When pushing the washer fluid button while driving, the wipers would wipe but not washer fluid would come out causing a dangerous visibility situation. I took it to the dealer that day while they were still frozen and the dealer said i did have the correct windshield washer fluid in them, but they were having problems with them freezing, so they said they dumped more alcohol…

In cold weather, the rear driver side door latches are inoperable. The door latch fails to engage, allowing the door to open while the vehicle is in motion. During right hand turns, bumps in the road, or when light pressure is applied to the driver side doors, the vehicle returns a "door ajar" warning as the door open itself. This is especially dangerous in the "supercab" configuration, as the rear door also…

Door latches are frozen and inoperable in temperatures below freezing. Doors will not open, and if they do open, they will not close. A major safety concern. Truck was parked in my lot over night. Events occurred during the months of 12/2016 and 01/2017. I live in north carolina, a place where it does not get below freezing often.

2015 f-150 lariat supercrew cab door locks and tail gate become frozen in cold weather. This has been happening more often lately with cold temps in michigan winter. Got up this morning with my kids to take them to school, got them in the car and the door would not stay closed (rear passenger). Checked the latches, the mechanics seemed to be working (handle, etc.) but i could not get the door to stay closed. Happens…

At random times: some or all of my doors either won't close or will not open. This can happen while it is driving down the road! There are numerous videos on you tube showing this happening. The recall part that i had done with ford did not help at all! I no longer have a ford dealership in my town. When i did the last recall work for the "rain guards" i had to pay up front then wait to be paid back. This was a…

All four doors will not open when unlocking with key, key fob, or door keypad from either side of the door; interior or exterior. This is especially dangerous in the event that the vehicle is in a crash and a passenger is unable to exit due to the door not opening or emergency crews cannot access the vehicle. The vehicle has been attempted to be repaired twice by the dealer and both times the dealer has stated that…

In reference to tsb 15-0052, currently referenced under tsb 16-0155 door locks become inoperable in freezing conditions. I have currently been waiting two weeks for back ordered parts. With multiple tsb's this has been an ongoing issue for ford and back ordered parts over a year later should be unacceptable. Ford's national customer service was of little help, creating case # 115-897-76 and directing me to talk with…

Supercrews rear door locks do not work electronically. Also driver door locks do not work electronically(button or key fob) or manually either inside or with key outside. Also once open, the door will not latch when closed. This happens when the temperature is below freezing. Has only happened stationary and on different days. Leaving the truck run with heat on high allows the doors to lock/latch. This is not an…

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…

Bottom latch in rear door, passenger side (supercab) would not latch shut during a cold spell, causing a warning notification while driving that the rear door was open. I pulled on bottom of door and verified that the door was not latched and it would move a significant amount. Ford is aware of this and there is a ford ssm that only dealers can see on this issue (#46260). This is a safety issue and should be a…
