I bought a new f-150 last august from the ford dealer in ashboro, nc. With below freezing weather the driver side door will not latch. The dealer has been contacted through a message on his website but has not responded. The last f-150 i owned did not have this problem and neither did a couple e-150 vans before that. I did have a similar problem with a ford mustang back in the 70's but found that i could push down…

While driving over a railroad crossing, my truck died. The screen on the dash stated there was an error with the auto start/ stop feature.

The door latches on all (4) doors become inoperable when temps drop below 32 degrees. This has resulted in not being able to enter or exit the vehicle and have doors pop open on their own after being shut. This is a very dangerous problem that could result being stuck inside the vehicle and/or possibly having someone fall out of the vehicle if door were to pop open unexpectedly.

Responses from f150 owners on various forums all indicate various explanations from ford as to the cause from normal engine characteristics, replacing cam phasers, replacing solenoids, and buybacks.

Windshield has severe pitting and is getting worse everyday. Any sun glare causes loss of visibility and i have to actually stop the vehicle and hang my head from the side window to see. Vehicle has not been exposed to sand storms, etc. I own a 1966 tbird with the original windshield and it has better visibility than the 2018 f150. Ford is dragging their feet and not responding.
