Tailgate problems of the 2017 Ford F-150

Door latches freezing and doors will not remained closed posing a safety risk. Tailgate also opens on it's own.

My electric tailgate is coming down without me opening it. I was hooking up my snowmobile trailer and it came down on my head. We have had it open going down the road and with a tonneau cover you don't know it has fallen. Thankfully the boys had down hill skis in back that didn't fly out and kill someone. I have now pulled the fuse but that interferes with opening the doors. And makes my rear box useless with the tonneau cover. I have to put the fuse back in in order to open the tailgate. Detroit -- Ford is recalling its popular F-150 pickup truck in canada to fix a problem with electric tailgate latches, but identical trucks aren't being recalled in the u. S.

Tailgate opens going down the road, tailgate opens anytime I unlock the doors, and tailgate opens when remote is near tailgate with no buttons pushed.

F150 with electronic tailgate release will randomly unlock and drop open. This is happening at least 50% of the times I use my truck. I've heard the tailgate release be activated with my fob key setting on the dash board, no one touching it. I took it to the dealer today, 1/10/2020, and the service rep heard it unlock the tailgate while he was holding the key fob. He indicated there is a recall; however, it is not for f150's. . Only f250-450's. What really scares me there is no warning or notifications the tailgate has dropped down and is now open. I only know when I stop and see it down or the loud steady warning when I put the truck in reverse. So far nothing has fallen out but this is clearly unsafe and should be recalled/repaired ASAP by Ford. This has occurred when operating on both city roads and highways, although, I'm not sure exactly when it is unlocked or drops open. This problem first occurred in early December; however, it was not nearly as frequent; now it is almost every time I use my truck.

The vehicle has been back to the dealer with no satifaction the dealership had no anwer how to correct this and that there where other complaints and that there was an indicator light on previous model years and it is stated in the owners manual and. There is no why to disable the tailgate lock and there is no indicator light on the dashboard that the gate is open. This is a dangerous and unnerving problem that the Ford motor company needs to be mandated to correct.
