For more than 6 months i've been trying to get recall service for safety recall notice 17s33. The local dealer has not had the parts necessary to do the work, and the local dealer's service rep says that ford is not sending them enough parts to comply with the recall.

Body
Door latches are inoperable in temps below 30f. Door cannot be opened and/or latched closed. Two ford recalls to remedy the issue have failed to work successfully on every door. This makes the truck either completely inoperable because i cant gain entry or a safety hazard if doors cannot be latched closed. I also fear not being able to get myself, or worse, my children out of the vehicle in the event of an emergency.

One cold morning the drivers door would not shut and latch. I was forced to drive 30 miles to work on the highway with the door flopping open every time i slowed down. This is a major safety hazard especially if children are involved. I can't believe an auto manufacture can sell a vehicle where the doors will not stay closed. Next time it happens i will take a video of the door not closing.
