IVE HAD A COUPLE ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LATCHES ON MY TRUCK. WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BELOW FREEZING MY PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND SLAMMING IT SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST SPENT 15 MINUTES OUT IN -4 DEGREE WEATHER TRYING TO GET IT TO CLOSE. I'VE HAD IT SERVICED ONCE AND IT STILL DOES IT. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I ALSO READ ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY BIG SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU LIVE IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE WHERE IT GETS COLD.

DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVERS DOOR WON'T LATCH REPEATED CLOSING OF THE DOOR AND CYCLING OF THE LOCKS DON'T WORK. WARMER TEMPS LATER LET IT LATCH. DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTERMITTENTLY THE LEFT REAR DOOR WON'T UNLATCH REPEATED CYCLING OF THE LOCKS HAVE NO EFFECT. WARMER TEMPS LATER LET IT OPEN. GLARE FROM THE CHROME DASH VENT CAUSE A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE ON THE WINDOW WHEN USING THE DRIVERS SIDE VIEW MIRROR. AT A GLANCE BOTH SIDEVIEW MIRRORS SEEM OK BUT WHEN YOU SCAN ACROSS THEM THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FROM A FUNHOUSE, DISTRACTING.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
JAN. 13, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON ROUTE 17, IN NORTH CAROLINA TOWARDS RALEIGH, THE SIPPED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS MOVING AT 80 MPH, BASED ON THE DASH SPEEDOMETER. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. I CHANGED MY DIGITAL SETTING FROM FUEL ECONOMY TO DIGITAL MPH AND NOTICED THIS MODE SEEMED TO BE ACCURATE, HOWEVER THE DASH SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. MY WIFE TOOK A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM WITH HER PHONE. BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED IN RALEIGH, NC, THE DASH MOUNTED SPEEDOMETER WAS CLOSE TO 100 MPH. WE PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE ATTENDING A MEETING WITH THE SENATOR. ON THE WAY HOME AND HEADING BACK NORTH ON ROUTE 17, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED DROPPING BACK. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY OFF BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH COMPARED TO THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE OVER NIGHT. WHEN USING THE TRUCK THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO MATCHED UP AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT WORK AS SOON AS ANY DIRT BUGS ETC OBSCURE VISION I MUST STOP AND CLEAN WINDSHIELD WITH WATER I CARRY INSIDE. THIS BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT IN HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FORD SAYS THE PART IS UNDER REDESIGN AND NO DATE IS AVAILABLE YET FOR A FIX, IT HAS BEEN FOR OVER 2-3 MONTHS, YET THEY CONTINUE TO SELL NEW F-150S. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF BAD ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY REMEDY THE PROBLEM?

I OWN A 2015 F150 WITH A VERY FRUSTRATING ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE DOOR LOCKS CEASE WORKING DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. THE ISSUE IS SPORADIC, AND AFFECTS EITHER ALL DOORS, OR SOME OF THE DOORS WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS, WAS IN THE MORNING. TO MY SURPRISE, MY SON WAS ABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR WITHOUT UNLOCKING IT. I RECALL LOCKING IT AND HEARING THE BEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE. I ASKED MY SON TO SHUT THE DOOR, I CLICKED THE LOCK BUTTON TWICE AND HEARD THE HONK. I THEN WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT OPENED! MY TRUCK HAD BEEN LEFT UNSECURED THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND MANY OTHER NIGHTS FOR ALL I KNOW. I THOUGHT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A FLUKE, SO I WENT ABOUT MY DAY, AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS AGAIN, I WAS ON A LUNCH BREAK AND I HAD DRIVEN TO A LOCAL SPOT WHERE I LIKE TO JOG. WHEN I DO THIS, I LEAVE MY KEY IN THE TRUCK AND USE THE KEYPAD FEATURE AS TO AVOID CARRYING EVERYTHING WITH ME. I PUSHED DOWN THE LOCKING ROD, SHUT THE DOOR AND WENT ON MY JOG. WHEN I RETURNED, I ENTERED IN MY CODE, I HEARD AN UNLOCKING NOISE (TURNED OUT TO JUST BE MY TAILGATE), BUT I COULD NOT OPEN MY DOOR. I TRIED AGAIN, BUT AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR. I TRIED MY OTHER DOORS, NO LUCK. I WAS STUCK WITHOUT KEYS, WALLET, PHONE (IN MY TRUCK). I HAD TO FIND A RIDE HOME TO GET MY OTHER KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I ENDED UP MISSING THE REST OF WORK, EVEN MISSED AN IMPORTANT MEETING. THIS LAST HAPPENED WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT, WHERE HE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE, AND THIS SIMPLY GOT MY IMAGINATION RUNNING TO THE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK. IT IS NOW AT A DEALER WHO CANNOT DUPLICATE, SO NO FIX. THIS ALL NOT TO MENTION THE INCH OF WATER I HAD AT MY FEET WHEN IT LEAKED, OR THE LOOSE PART IN THE DRIVER DOOR KNOCKING AROUND THAT THEY "CANT" DUPLICATE. MAJOR QC CONCERN.

AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE DOOR LOCKS AND LOCK MECHANISMS WILL INTERMITTENTLY FREEZE IN AN OPENED OR CLOSED POSITION. AT TIMES, DOORS WILL NOT STAY SHUT WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO CLOSE THEM FROM THE INSIDE; THIS OCCURS ON ALL 4 DOORS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DOORS HAVE OPENED, REQUIRING THE PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT FORD HAS NOT RELEASED A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD THEIR VEHICLES IN REPAIR FOR THE SAME REASON.

IN TEMPERATURES UNDER FREEZING, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. WAS ONLY ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE AND SECURE SHUT. NEED TO HOLD THE DOOR IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING IS POSSIBLE AS THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE!! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE QUALITY AS THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM SECONDLY, AS A RESULT OF THE FROZEN DOORS, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION... THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED AND WILL NOT LOCK, NEITHER WITH THE POWER FUNCTION OR MANUALLY.... ANOTHER QUALITY AND SAFETY PROBLEM.

NEW 2015 F150 WITH A VIBRATION/ SHUDDER COMING FROM WHAT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSFER CASE OR POSSIBLY THE DRIVE SHAFT. HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR, AND ON INCLINES...FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN JUST CRUISING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THEY HAVE FELT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ONES ON THEIR LOT. VIBRATION COULD LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY STALL THE VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS WILL NOT SPRAY WHEN COLD OUT. TANK IF FULL OF PURE -20F RATED FLUID WHICH IS FULL AND NOT FROZEN. NOZZLES HAVE BEEN HEATED WITH HOT WATER AND STILL WILL NOT SPRAY. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE CHECK VALVE IS MADE IN SUCH A POOR WAY THAT IT WILL NOT WORK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT WAS 20F TODAY HAD A 3 HOUR DRIVE ON SNOWY WET ROADS WITH NO WASHER FLUID SPRAYING. I KNOW THIS WAS NOT SAFE BUT WAS HOPING IT WOULD FIX ITSELF BUT NEVER DID.

DOOR LATCH ON 2015 FORD F150 MALFUNCTIONED DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ON MONDAY, JANUARY 11 2016 MY TRUCK HAD BEEN STARTED USING THE REMOTE START AND RAN FOR 10+ MINUTES (HEAT ON),WHEN I ENTERED MY TRUCK AND BEGAN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH ALL OVERHEAD LIGHTS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS STILL AJAR AND WOULD NOT LATCH. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT ONLY LATCHED AFTER THE TRUCK WARMED UP. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME WAS 27 DEGREES, AND TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO RAIN OR WASHED IN FIVE DAYS. AFRER RESEARCHING ONLINE AND MANY FORUMS, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON F150'S MANUFACTURED IN 2015. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ADVISED ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS THEY HAVE NO ISSUES FOR MY F150 WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST 2015. DEALER WANTS THE TRUCK BROUGHT IN AND LEFT WITH THEM , I AM NOT A FAN OF SPRAYING A LUBE ON DOOR LATCH AND CLAIMING IT'S FIXED. FORD NOR THE DEALER WOULD ANSWER MY QUESTION OF HOW DID YOU RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS F150'S THAT HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OR HAVE YOU HAD ANY F150 TRUCKS RECENTLY WITH THIS ISSUE? APPOINTMENT IS BEING SCHEDULED WITH DEALER ASAP. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO PERMANENTLY FIX DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM, SO DOORS LATCH IN LOW TEMPERATURES. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS AN ISSUE ON MORE 2015 F150'S THAN JUST THE ONES MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MARCH 2015. NO MATTER THE WEATHER, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THE WORRY OF YOUR DOOR CLOSING...ESPECIALLY ON A NEW VEHICLE. FORD ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND VOICE MY CONCERNS.

I PURCHASED A 2015 IN AUGUST 2015. I TOOK THIS INTO THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO AS THE WASHER FLUID PUMP WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WASHER PUMP MOTOR NEEDED REPLACING. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN THIS WOULD BE FIXED. APPARENTLY THE WASHER PUMP IS ON BACKORDER. I WAS TOLD TO USE A "LONG SQUEEGEE" IN THE MEAN TIME. HOWEVER, NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE WASHER FLUID GREATLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY IN MY STATE (WV) IN JANUARY WITH THE USE OF ROAD SALT. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS TODAY AND I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED ON WHEN THEY MAY BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
