Door locks freezing in cold (<32%) weather. This is mostly a major inconvenience, but could, given the right circumstances, be a safety issue where immediate ingress/egress is required.

Driver side door won't latch; using remote, door won't unlock. Under freezing conditions the driver side door won't latch upon closing after sitting for an hour or so. Amount of force used to close the door makes no difference. Using the remote, the door won't unlock. The knob on the door goes up about halfway and then immediately drops back down. The door will unlock with the key, but you can feel the stress as the…

Seat headrest protrudes too much out of the seat and it pushes forward head of some drivers. The only adjustments available (slide up and down, tilt top forward) do nothing to alleviate the issue. The lack of ability to "scoot" the entire headrest backwards causes back and neck pain while driving for as little as 10 minutes. One solution people are resorting to is to re-insert the headrest backwards, but the tilting…

I have a ford f150 with only 6k miles. Great truck! However, the front door has been freezing up in 20-30 degree weather. This becomes an extremely unsafe vehicle when this happens. The reason is because the door will not stay shut unless i try to hold it shut, which is very difficulty due to it being a very heavy door. I am shocked that this has not been recalled. There are forums online that speak to this issue.…
