3 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2023

It had a tailgate recall, when recall first came out, they wouldn't look at it. It hadn't caused any damage, or wasn't bad enough. Then they didn't have the parts. Now when they have the parts, they will not fix it because it has to many miles on it. Well duh! it is a work truck. Causing major insurance claims. And I can't get it fixed?.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2022

On or around June 4, 2022 I was driving my truck and had my enclosed trailer attached. I went to put my trailer up in storage and noticed my tailgate had opened on its own. This has caused damage to my tailgate and is a major safety concern that the tailgate is opening on its own.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2021

The truck tailgate opens unintentionally and with no notice. This has happened several times, seemingly randomly, and there is no notice from the driver seat that the tailgate has opened, other than visually looking via rear view mirror or from the outside of the truck. I am not able to reproduce the malfunction, as it happens randomly. So far, it appears to happen mostly when parked and/or when switching between park/drive/reverse. I have not positively confirmed the tailgate opening while the vehicle is in motion, but definitely have noticed it was open while driving after pulling into a parking space, reversing out, and then continuing to drive. The vehicle is available for inspection anytime. Luckily, this malfunction hasn't caused any damage yet, but if it were to happen while towing it would damage the truck and/or trailer, and if it were to happen with a load in the truck bed, I'd be at risk of losing the load, potentially unknowingly while driving. No indications or warning lamps are present when the tailgate opens on its own. I first noticed this happening in June 2021, but didn't think much of it. It happened again in August 2021, and then happened several times during the day of sept 4, 2021.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2020

The tail gate opens on its own while driving and has even happened while towing my fifth wheel camper which caused extensive damage to both the camper and the truck Ford claims there's nothing wrong and the recalls working but this is still happening.

8 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2018

Previous complaint #11160684. I took my new F-350 to framingham Ford for a "frozen" door latch on 1/17/18. They followed Ford recall 18n03 for 2017-18 models. I picked it up on 1/19/18 and the door would not latch again! it had been dry for three days. I don't think it is necessarily a frozen water issue. It might be something to due with cold. It was dry and cold, around 22 degrees both days the latch would not engage.
