We are experiencing separate serious safety issues with our f-150: 1. The capless gas tank system causes the gas shutoff when refilling to not stop at 'full'. This causes gas to spray in an arc for 3-4 seconds - covering both people and the ground with approx 16-24 oz of gas. 2. The front doors, when subjected to freezing temperatures will open but will not reclose until the latch mechanism is c ompltwtely defrosted…

On 2/21/2018 while travelling west on i290 in auburn my left rear door opened unexpectedly and cannot be closed and stay closed. The door latch appears not to be working. The dealer informed me that it is a known issue and no remedy is currently available. If my dogs had been in the vehicle this morning they would have died. This is a deadly defect and all the 2017 ford f150 crew cabs should be pulled off the road…

Ford f-150 door latch will not locks or close properly in cold weather and freezing temperatures. Using a bungee to keep door shut. Dealership said there is no fix for this because the vehicle has the most current recall parts. I believe that this can and will be a safety hazard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not acceptable!!

The driver door would not latch. It took 4 hours of a heater in a garage and some force to get door to latch. The actual latch would work, but the nob in the car would not work. The outside handle also worked, but felt like it was not engaging. I did have to hold the door closed whole i drove home from the store.

While there is a recall (17v652) for certain model year 2015-2017, it does not cover my june 2017 built vehicle. The door latch freezes daily on a 4 month old vehicle any day which is below 32 degrees fahrenheit. The door will not latch leaving the safety of anyone sitting in the rear seat vulnerable. It is not the lock actuator or the rubber seal, but the actual door latch not catching. The ford dealer stated that…
