Body problems of the 2017 Ford F-150 - part 2

If vehicle is locked overnight it is impossible to open back doors until vehicle has warmed up. Vehicle left unlocked overnight had doors fly open at traffic light.

2 of the 4 doors would not close and 1 was frozen shut.

On Dec 27 owner opened the rear right door of the vehicle, when attempting to close the door it was observed that the latch did not function due to possible ice accumulation on the locking mechanism of the door. Suspect that the door is allowing too much water in during mild to moderate rain events and the door has a design flaw resulting in inadequate drainage and air circulation in the door causing the locking mechanisms to fail. Vehicle was not able to be driven on the 27th as the ice had not melted yet and the latch continued to fail. On the 29th, the door was finally able to latch again after it warmed up. Below are some of the meteorological conditions during that time. Vehicle could not be secured during this time and the door had to be ratchet strapped shut from the inside. During the day of Dec 26 through night of the Dec 27, day time highs of mid 30s and overnight lows in the low 20s with rain on Dec 24th.

After warming up the truck, the door opened fine but would not latch closed for approximately 15 more minutes for a total of 30 minutes of the truck running. 27 degrees outside and dry.

Ford F-150 moon roof ramp/guide jaw (part # fl3z1651070b/fl3z1651071b) stopped working. The moon roof malfunctions getting suck in the open mode, or failing to close properly if at all. Many Ford owners have experienced the same issue, to the point that there are videos on the internet pertaining to this malfunction. While attempting to get this repair fixed at the Ford dealership the employees advised me that they see this issue often, and that the glass shatters and breaks from this malfunction. I was quoted $400. 00 to remedy the issue, and would have to leave my vehicle at the dealership for the day. The estimated time to complete the repair was four hours.

I was in my driveway sitting stationary in my vehicle buckling up to depart for the store. I put my foot on the brake pedal to push the start button. After starting I moved the shift lever to put the vehicle in gear and the vehicle started to roll and my brake pedal went to the floor. Because my driveway has a slight ramp to it the vehicle kept rolling forward, I kept hitting the brake pedal but the brake pedal kept going to the floor and the vehicle would not stop. As a result I rolled into a block fence across from my driveway knocking it down and damaging my vehicle. Vehicle was just rolling under its own momentum, no power to the drive train. No injuries, but fence was down and vehicle hood and other front end areas were damaged. I have no idea what caused the brakes to fail. Filed an insurance claim and had to have vehicle towed to dealer for body repairs and neighbors fence repaired.

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.

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 have no other mode of transport. I believe there is a safety bulletin but my VIN comes back with no recalls.

The driver door stops latch will freeze up and not close half the time whether its sitting still or in motion.

My 2017 Ford F-150 (VIN [xxx] ) has serious safety issues that Ford has failed to address. The 10-speed transmission has been replaced three times by Ford dealerships and still hesitates and slips between 3rd and 4th gear, annd the plate now tings especially in cold weather. The truck bed has separated from the body near the wheel wells, leaving visible gaps to the ground and causing the tailgate to malfunction. This structural separation poses a safety risk if the bed detaches or tailgate fails under load. The cam phasers have also been repaired multiple times. Ford has refused further assistance despite documented repairs. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The running boards are supposed to automatically extend when the door is opened. Many times on both the driver side and passenger side will try to extend but will not stay, they immediately retract. This causes the occupant to have to take a very large step up into or out of the vehicle. Sometimes they fail completely to even try to extend at all when the door is opened. This occurs for both the front and back doors. This is when the vehicle is stopped. It happens when the vehicle is off and when it is on.

I recently bought a Ford truck and just a normal day I was driving and the truck just power off I took the truck to a Ford service they told me I still have extended warranty, they check the truck and told me that the issue was electrical throttle body snd that my warranty doesn't covered that malfunction, I think that a new truck with less than 51 thousands miles with electrical problems meaning that Ford just don't want to covered what they don't do right.

Rear window blow out. I turned on my vehicle this morning to warm up. I turned on the defrosters and went back inside for approximately 2 minutes. When I came back outside I could smell a electrical type burning smell. I am a firefighter and am familiar with this odor. No smoke or flames ever present/visible. I turned then suddenly heard a loud pop, realizing that both sides of my rear window had completely shattered. The vehicle was not moving. No one was in the vehicle and I was the only one near it. Nothing hit the window and I had never had the smell in my truck before.

Water is getting in the truck, wetting and staining the driver side airbag, and coming out of the driver side grab handle, running down the electrical instrument panel. This is most apparent when the vehicle is parked on an incline during a rain storm, with the front of the vehicle lower than the back.

Frozen door latch not opening or not latching being parked 6 times before and after going back to the dealer.

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 recall clearly needs to be expanded to beyond model year 2017 and an appropriate fix provided as the one Ford has does not work.

Doors freeze shut in and around door handle so stationary vehicle cannot be entered in cold weather. In other cases the door can be opened but will not latch even though vehicle is in motion. Often vehicle is in motion before it is realized the door is not latched and door has and may swing open while traveling if not held in place by the individuals hand. This problem has occurred at least 6 different days in January and first full week of February 2019 in temperatures below 22 degrees f. To date no injury nor property damage has resulted from this concern. The doors have been treated with deicer along with a strong dose of penetrating oil. This has not cured the problem.

Recall 18n03 - fix freezing door latches. My vehicle was in for the recall to be completed on 1/10/19. At the conclusion of the recall 'fix', I picked up the vehicle from the local Ford dealership. The service department person, stated "your vehicle is fixed (using air quotes), but if you have any further trouble, feel free to contact us. I expect to hear from you. " the two front doors of the vehicle will not latch unless they are thawed. In temps above roughly 28 degrees fahr. They are fine, when colder the door will unlock with remote or key, however once the door is opened it will not latch closed until the latch is thawed. Friday, 1/11/19, after work about 7pm, I entered the truck, thought everything was fine and the door latched. As I was leaving the parking lot, the driver's door swung open.

Has been aware of this since the 2015 production year and has not provided an adequate solution.

I've had the doors latches of my truck freeze iin the shut and open positions, making the truck unable to be driven, it's happend many times since it's gotten cold out, there are thousands of complaints online and on online Ford F-150 forums about this problem, I have had it in and they did the fsa 18n04 on all 4 doors, they had my truck for 3 days to do this, the very next morning the door latches are doing the exact same thing, at first they unlock and then the door won't latch closed so you can not drive the vehicle , if you can get the door to latch and proceed driving vehicle.
