FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I NOTICED A FAINT SMELL OF GAS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND AFTER A FEW MILES A CAR NEXT TO ME AT A STOPLIGHT ASKED ME TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW. THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS LEAKING GAS ALL OVER THE ROAD SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME A FUEL LINE FITTING WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE LEAK. MY FRUSTRATION WAS THIS WAS A NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 1500 MILES. THE LEAK WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO DRAIN A FULL TANK OF GAS PRIOR TO BEING REPAIRED. *TR

I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, GOT OUT, GOT GAS, WHEN I GOT BACK IN AND TRIED TO CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR IT WOULD NOT LATCH. I TRIED TO CLOSE IT OVER AND OVER AND STILL WOULD NOT LATCH. HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK HOLDING DOOR CLOSED WITH LEFT HAND. TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A GARAGE SO WATER WAS NOT A FACTOR.

IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS THE PASSENGER DOOR OF MY VEHICLE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. IN ORDER TO GET MY VEHICLE TO A PLACE WHERE IT CAN BE PARKED I MUST HAVE A PASSENGER HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED OR TIE A ROPE TO THE DOOR HANDLE AND HOLD IT MYSELF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS SITTING STILL AS I WAITED IN A DRIVE THROUGH LINE WITH MY TRUCK IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SCARY. I TRIED TO PUMP THE BRAKE - THE PEDAL PUMPED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT CAUGHT AND BEGAN BEHAVING AS EXPECTED. THE WAS NO SOUND OR ALARM FROM THE CONSOLE DURING ALL OF THIS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AS A WARRANTY REPAIR. THEY HAD NO COMMENT ABOUT WHETHER THIS WAS A RECALL. I ASKED IF THE PART NUMBER WAS DIFFERENT ON THE REPLACED PART AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS. REPLACEMENT PART WAS GL3Z-2140-A CYLINDER ASY ALONG WITH PM-20 FLUID - BRAKE. *TR

UNDER FREEZING CONDITIONS, PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT RE-LATCH CLOSED AFTER BEING OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL OPEN USING THE OUTSIDE HANDLE, BUT WILL NOT SECURELY LATCH CLOSED. THE ISSUE RESOLVES AS TEMPERATURE WARMS UP.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
DOOR LOCKS FROZEN - CAN'T SECURE DRIVER'S DOOR WHILE DRIVING... IT'S 24 DEGREES THIS MORNING. DRY, NO RAIN. I HIT THE FOB TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. IT OPENS. I HOP IN THE TRUCK. I START THE MOTOR. THE RECTANGULAR WARNING SCREEN APPEARS. "DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR", OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN. IT WILL NOT SECURE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS CAUGHT IN THE JAM. LOOKS GOOD. DOOR WILL NOT SECURE. SO, I HAD TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH MY RIGHT HAND ACROSS MY LAP TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. ONCE AT MY DESTINATION, I HOPPED OUT AND ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT JUST BOUNCES AND WILL NOT SECURE. WELL, I HIT THE FOB TO LOCK IT AND LOW AND BEHOLD, IT LOCKS. THE TRUCK IS NOW LOCKED AND SECURE, BUT IT WON'T UNLOCK. I CAN'T GET IN IT. I GUESS IT IS NOW FROZEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I'M STRANDED. *TR

I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH WHEN IT HAS BEEN COLD AND SOME OF THE TIMES WHEN I COULD ACTUALLY GET BACK IN, THE DOORS THEN WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY WARMED UP ENOUGH TO "THAW" THE LOCKS. BUT OFTEN THE ISSUE WOULD COME RIGHT BACK ONCE THE TRUCK WAS COLD AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TSB ABOUT THIS ON 2015 AND 2016 TRUCKS (16-0155) BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AROUND FEB 1 AND THAT THE SERVICE TAKES ATLEAST 5 HRS TO PERFORM

THE DOOR LOCKS AND LATCHES WILL NOT WORK IN FREEZING WEATHER. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID CHECK VALVE FREEZING...HUGE IN ICEY CONDITIONS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WAY TO CLEAN WINDOW IN CAR U ARE UNABLE TO SEE WELL. ON MINE IT IS THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH SO YOU CANNOT GET DOOR TO STAY CLOSED. KNOW ISSUE BUT RESPONSE BY FORD AND HOW THEY ARE HANDLING IS A FAILURE!! THE PARTS ARE OUT TO MARCH AND THEY WANT U TO JUST DEAL WITH IT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEAD LIGHTS ON BOTH DIM AND BRIGHT DO NOT SHINE AHEAD FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE 2015 MODEL YEAR OF THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT IT. AND IN BAD WEATHER THE SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE.

VEHICLE IS A SUPERCREW (4 DOOR). DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LATCH IN WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. THANKFULLY, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN DISCOVERED. THERE IS A FORD TSB ALREADY (TSB 16-0155). DEALER APPLIED A "TEMPORARY" FIX BECAUSE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, BUT I WOULD THINK THE DOORS STAYING CLOSED PROPERLY SHOULD BE A LARGER ISSUE THAN A TSB.

WHENEVER OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL AND HAS TO BE HELD CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE DOOR WARMS THE LATCH FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES AND I HAVE IT DOCUMENTED ON VIDEO HOWEVER THE FILE IS TO LARGE TO ATTACH I CAN EMAIL IT ANOTHER WAY IF NEEDED WHEN I'M CONTACTED. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T LATCH; USING REMOTE, DOOR WON'T UNLOCK. UNDER FREEZING CONDITIONS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T LATCH UPON CLOSING AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR OR SO. AMOUNT OF FORCE USED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. USING THE REMOTE, THE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK. THE KNOB ON THE DOOR GOES UP ABOUT HALFWAY AND THEN IMMEDIATELY DROPS BACK DOWN. THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK WITH THE KEY, BUT YOU CAN FEEL THE STRESS AS THE LOCK MOVES. APPEARS TO BE WATER RELATED. ONCE THE INTERIOR WARMS UP ENOUGH (UPWARDS OF 20-30 MINUTES OF IDLING, DEPENDING ON OUTSIDE TEMPS), THEN THE DOOR WILL LATCH AND THE LOCK WILL ENGAGE/DISENGAGE. PASSENGER DOOR UNAFFECTED AT THIS TIME, BUT IS VERY RARELY USED, MAYBE 30 TIMES IN THE FIRST SEVEN MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WET ENVIRONMENT, 100+ INCHES OF RAIN PER YEAR. PROBLEM ONGOING.
