    Ford f150 recall #18n03 where the door latch can freeze not allowing the door to close or not allowing the door to open. West hurr ford of rochester ny told me they would not perform the recall until the door latch actually froze. My concern is that i travel fro new york to pa a lot and if it freezes when i am in pa i would be stranded until a dealer could fit me in to fix.

    F150 vista moonroof frame has fractured 3 times. Including the original moonroof that was factory installed, i've now had 3 moonroofs (2 replacements) for a broken frame that controls the opening of the moonroof. The issue was noticed because the moonroof rattled during normal driving, and made noises upon opening it. Concerned about robustness if moonroof will break again, leak, or stay closed in a collision if the…

    Rear doors not shutting in colder temps. Had to ratchet strap the rear doors together from the inside to keep them shut. Contacted the local dealer and service told me that it's an 8 hour fix and that may not fix it. He then told me to find a garage and thaw it out.

    Rear window poped or shattered for no reason. There was nothing behind me that could have caused and impact as i was in a boat ramp with only the ocean behind me. When i opened my door to get out i heard a loud pop noise. I looked around and didn't see anything. I got my boat out and when i started loading the truck up i noticed the rear window glass was broken.

    The ford new back truck window exploded!! Normal morning 85 degrees. Have read in u-tube now becoming a common issue with this new ford truck model. We called ford. Truck under warranty but ford refuse to do a thing about it. Even though so many others owners of the f-150 have had the same issue!!! It was parked as normal. Nothing hit it and no stress fractures before window exploded. It just exploded!!
