17 f degrees and my door latch would not hold / keep the drivers side door closed.after multiple attempts to close the door i held it shut and drove it to work.after the vehicle warmed up the latch started to work or appeared to.

Supercrew rear door locks fail to electronically unlock (or lock) in freezing tempertures. Getting into the vehichle requires climbing into the back seat from the front and manually cycling the door lock. However this does not fix the problem; the electronic fob and interior butttons still fail to actuate the locking mechnaism until warmer temperatres return. In addition to dailey inconvenience this senario raises…

In temperatures below 20 degrees fahrenheit, the door latches (front & rear) will freeze in the unlatched position when the door is opened making it impossible to latch the door closed until thawed out. I've had to drive holding the door closed by hand on 7 different occasions until the door would latch. My vehicle is always parked outside in my driveway as my garage is too small for it. The dealer told me that the…

I have been locked out of my vehicle at a gas station, retuarant, my house and have even been locked in my truck where i had to wait 10 minutes for it to thaw and allow me to exit the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue if i cant exit my vehicle if…

In colder weather under 30 degrees, the doors freeze shut. Once they are opened, they will not latch when shut. Overall, the doors are not easy to close and latch tightly unless they are closed with a lot of force. There needs to be some remedy to this as it is not acceptable.

The rectangular warning screen appears. "driver's door ajar", or something like that. I attempt to close the door again. It will not secure. I checked to make sure nothing is caught in the jam. Looks good. Door will not…

I stopped at a gas station, got out, got gas, when i got back in and tried to close the drivers door it would not latch. I tried to close it over and over and still would not latch. Had to drive to work holding door closed with left hand. Temperature outside was about 20 degrees. Vehicle had been in a garage so water was not a factor.

Body
Vehicle is a supercrew (4 door). Door locks do not latch in weather below freezing. Thankfully, vehicle was stationary when discovered. There is a ford tsb already (tsb 16-0155). Dealer applied a "temporary" fix because parts are not available, but i would think the doors staying closed properly should be a larger issue than a tsb.
