    Ford currently has an issue with door latches not latching shut. I've had my rear passenger door come open while driving down the road with my daughter sitting there scared to death. This is unacceptable. I've had my truck in service at the dealership for the recall fix and the same problem still exists i have had it back to the dealership three times now and it still is not corrected. Does someone have to get…

I have spoken with bill pierre ford in seattle wa about the problem and have been told that they are aware of the problem but that…

    The key fob for our new f150 has broken already. It was only 2 months old and the metal part that holds the key ring came off. This shouldn't have happened after only 2 months. The service department says it is normal wear and tear and will not repair or replace. If the fob falls off the key ring because it was not glues on properly, you can lose your key. Worse, someone could find it, press the lock or panic button…

    This is a well known issue. When it is cold the doors may or may not latch. You have to drive your vehicle holding the door. I had to take it to a dealer several times holding my door closed going down the freeway.

    Door latch, the driver side door was not closing when i first got the truck. This is not a new issue. This was supposed to have been fixed last april at the factory, but obviously it was not. I have had the truck looked at 3 times for this issue. It may be fixed now, maybe not. How can ford not have recalls and a fix for this and still be allowed to sell these vehicles? I have had to drive my truck to the dealership…

    When vehicle is in motion all safety warning indicators lights come which causes vehicle to lose power. And will not allow vehicle to accelerate. As a result, the vehicle is susceptible to getting hit which has been the case. In addition, this also causes the auto stop feature to not work which allows the vehicle to shut off when stopped at traffic lights and stop signs. This occurs two to three daily.

    Two complaints: 1- door locks still freezing after being at the dealer for a recall to fix them. Fix did not work. 2- poor design on both side door mirrors. The small wide angle inset mirrors are set in too deep and angled improperly, that when adjusting the larger mirrors the view of the insets negates their purpose and causes a blind side area at a critical in the left passing lane witch is missed by both mirrors.…
