On the newer ford f150's the master lock sits outside of the door frame. Criminals can break this lock and grain access to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds. I have had my truck broken into 3 times now due to this security issue. Ford refuses to acknowledge the issue they engineered into the f150. I do not feel safe in my truck and will imedietly be looking for a replacement that is not a ford.

The panoramic sun roof will not close and is stuck in the partially opened position. The glass has a partial crack in it and i am concerned that it will shatter injuring any passengers. The vehicle only has 21000 miles. I believe this to be a design defect. I contacted ford customer service and they refused to take any corrective action on this problem. One month earlier the roof would not close and i brought the…

Tailgate opens by itself. Has happened while driving at least once (that i know of because i have a bed cap on that has held it in place). The one time i noticed it i was towing a trailer and was fortunate that the tailgate did not get wedged between the trailer jack on a turn. I have now noticed that the tailgate will open and the latch mechanism will continue to fire even after the tailgate is down,

When cold the vehicle door will not latch or stay closed. Seems to work when mild or warm. The door is in perfect original condition - no accidents, etc. While so far i can eventually get the latch to catch it seems the door latch cannot be trusted to close and stay closed safely protect the occupants.

Doors do no open, freeze shut in cold weather or doors will not latch/lock if they open at all.

Also the windshield washer sprayer freezes regularly. This is also a know issue that has not been resolved. It is dangerous to operate a vehicle when the…
