I work 20 miles from home, and have driven 20 full miles with an unsecured door…

Anytime the weather is below freezing the drivers door latch is frozen shut. When it finally opens after numerous attempts then it will not latch closed again. This is apparently a well known problem that ford refuses to fix. I've been to the dealer twice with no repair.

In below freezing temperatures, drivers side front door latch fails to lock in closed position when door is closed, allowing door to open freely without using door handle. The only way to secure the door for transit is to either hold it closed manually or run a strap between the two interior door handles to keep it from flying open. After vehicle has been running for a while and interior is warmed up, latch begins…

In cold weather the door latches freeze causing the doors to remain unlatched. This caused my rear doors to fly open when i went around a corner. There was a recall but it doesn't cover the 2018 model year. My truck was made in oct 2017, and i took delivery in mid dec 2017. The dealer will inspect, but as yet ford doesn't appear to have a fix for the issue.
