During freezing weather my door latches and locks freeze and become inoperable. Sometimes doors won't unlatch. Sometimes doors i open won't latch when closed. Sometimes doors don't lock when i have used the power locks that should lock all doors. This has only happened after the vehicle has been parked for a length of time in freezing temperatures. Fords voluntary services action has failed to fix the problem.

My electric tailgate is coming down without me opening it. I was hooking up my snowmobile trailer and it came down on my head. We have had it open going down the road and with a tonneau cover you don't know it has fallen. Thankfully the boys had down hill skis in back that didn't fly out and kill someone. I have now pulled the fuse but that interferes with opening the doors. And makes my rear box useless with the…

The door latches become inoperative in below freezing weather and require the inside of the cabin to be heated for approximately 30 minutes before they will work. I have had both fsa's completed by a ford dealer for this problem, but the problem still exists. This issue presents a safety problem because the doors will not latch closed and could swing open during driving.

When the temperature dips below freezing, door will not latch on drivers side. Extremely dangerous. Only remedy i have found is to either park in a garage (not possible for me) or to close the door and hit the lock button. The door will not fully close, but after truck gets to warming temp, it eventually will latch. Just a super dangerous situation especially when you need the truck to get to work or something and…

In below freezing conditions, the door latches will no longer operate causing the doors to open freely. Ford is aware of this issue as i received a "customer satisfaction bulletin" for this issue, however the fix provided does not work. There is currently an active recall for vehicles for the same model year, but mine is supposedly not impacted. I've got a friend who has a 2018 f-150 who has the same issue. This…

Drivers side front and rear doors do not close in cold weather. Door latches have been replaced with "new version" that was designed after a previous recall. The new latches do not correct the problem and a major safety issue still remains as doors will come open while driving.
