DOOR LOCKS/LATCHES. I LIVE IN CANTON, MICHIGAN AND WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32 DEGREES THE LOCKS FAIL TO OPEN AND/OR CLOSE. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR AND/OR EXTERIOR WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE DOORS LOCKS ALSO FAIL TO CATCH WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS AND SECURING THEM. THIS IS A EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH AND THE OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE NEED TO GET OUT. FORD IS TELLING ME THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HOOD DOES NOT PROPERLY KEEP WATER OFF THE INTERIOR WORKING PARTS OF THE DOOR CAUSING THE PARTS TO FREEZE AND BECOME INOPERABLE. I AM BEING TOLD REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL LATE MARCH 2017. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ORDERED. THIS IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN TO ME THIS WINTER AND ALSO DID DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OF 2015 INTO 2016. FORD INITIALLY WAS ADDING LUBE TO ALL THE WORKING PARTS IN A ATTEMPT TO KEEP THEM FROM SEIZING UP BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY LUBE THE PARTS UP WITHIN A DAY OR TWO THE DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING ONCE AGAIN.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
SUPERCREWS REAR DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY. ALSO DRIVER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY(BUTTON OR KEY FOB) OR MANUALLY EITHER INSIDE OR WITH KEY OUTSIDE. ALSO ONCE OPEN, THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. HAS ONLY HAPPENED STATIONARY AND ON DIFFERENT DAYS. LEAVING THE TRUCK RUN WITH HEAT ON HIGH ALLOWS THE DOORS TO LOCK/LATCH. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE KEY LOCK OR DOOR SEALS FREEZING AS THERE WAS NO ADVERSE WEATHER OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 22F OR COLDER AND THAT THEY HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. INFORMED THAT FORD IS WORKING ON A FIX AND THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY BACKORDER. SAW ONLINE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS STYLE TRUCK FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

AT FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. IF IT DOES, IT MAY NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WINTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS A TSB FROM FORD IDENTIFIED AS 15-0052. THIS IS A NUISANCE AT MINIMUM AND DANGEROUS IF THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. MY MODEL IS A SUPER CAB.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. THEY ARE FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH HEAT ON HIGH (THIS USUALLY REQUIRES ONE HAND HOLDING DOOR CLOSED) THE DOORS WILL EVENTUALLY LATCH. SOMETIMES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, EVEN BY USING THE KEY. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I HAVE TO GET IN THE TRUCK THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN I DO THIS, THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO STRAP THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TROUBLESOME AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
IN COLD WEATHER, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LATCH FAILS TO ENGAGE, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DURING RIGHT HAND TURNS, BUMPS IN THE ROAD, OR WHEN LIGHT PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS, THE VEHICLE RETURNS A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AS THE DOOR OPEN ITSELF. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE "SUPERCAB" CONFIGURATION, AS THE REAR DOOR ALSO CONTAINS THE SEAT BELT FOR THE DRIVER. IF THE DOOR WERE TO OPEN FULLY, THIS COULD DISRUPT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, OR POTENTIALLY THROW THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SYSTEM FAILURE CAN ALSO BE EASILY REPLICATED WHEN STATIONARY. OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND LIGHTLY PULL ON THE REAR DOOR. YOU CAN SEE THE LATCH FAILING TO ENGAGE AS THE DOOR MOVE FREELY AT THE BOTTOM INSTEAD OF STAYING LOCKED SHUT. WHEN IN MOTION, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, FROM PARKING LOT MANEUVERS TO HIGHWAY TRAVEL. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 17*F. THE DOOR JAMBS AND LATCH ASSEMBLIES WERE CONFIRMED TO BE FREE OF ICE, SNOW, OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS.

ALL FOUR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKING WITH KEY, KEY FOB, OR DOOR KEYPAD FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE DOOR; INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH AND A PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT DUE TO THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR EMERGENCY CREWS CANNOT ACCESS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED TWICE BY THE DEALER AND BOTH TIMES THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. THE TSB 16-0155 ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT WORKING AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE ISSUES.

THE POWER LOCKS ON MY TRUCK TO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. SOME TIMES THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AND SOME TIMES THAT WILL NOT LOCK. THIS MORNING I UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR AND GO TO THE STORE, I GET TO THE STORE AND UNLOCK THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR. I COME BACK OUT OF THE STORE AND ONLY 1 DOOR OF THE 4 DOORS WOULD UNLOCK, (DRIVERS DOOR) I REACH ACROSS AND OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, PUT THE GROCERIES AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK.

DURING BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, TSB 15-0052, BUT THE FORD SERVICE DEPT. SAYS IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT REALLY SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH ONE ARM HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE YEAR. FORD SERVICE CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS FORD ISSUES A RECALL ACTION WITH A REAL FIX. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FROZEN IN LINES. WHEN PUSHING THE WASHER FLUID BUTTON WHILE DRIVING, THE WIPERS WOULD WIPE BUT NOT WASHER FLUID WOULD COME OUT CAUSING A DANGEROUS VISIBILITY SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT DAY WHILE THEY WERE STILL FROZEN AND THE DEALER SAID I DID HAVE THE CORRECT WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IN THEM, BUT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM FREEZING, SO THEY SAID THEY DUMPED MORE ALCOHOL IN THE TANK AND SAID TO LET IT THAW OVERNIGHT IN THE GARAGE (THANKFULLY I HAVE A HEATED GARAGE, BUT MANY DON'T SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR SOLUTION WOULD BE). I ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE TSB CURRENTLY OUT THAT COVERS THIS VERY SITUATION. THEY SAID THEY PUT MORE ALCOHOL IN THE TANK AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THE DEALER WAS DAHL FORD LOCATED IN ONALASKA, WI. THIS EVEN BEING A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH IS A ALARMING, AND A DEALER NOT WILLING TO FIX SUCH AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE IS JUST AS MUCH OF AN ALARM! SECONDLY, MY DOOR LATCHES ALSO FREEZE ON THE TRUCK WHEN TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING. ALL 4 DOORS OF MY CREW CAB ARE AFFECTED. DEPENDING ON THE DAY, IT VARIES WHICH ONE FREEZES. I HAVE STOPPED USING CAR WASHES AND TRYING TO KEEP MY TRUCK AS DRY AS POSSIBLE TO NO AVAIL. ONCE THESE LATCHES FREEZE, THE DOOR WILL EITHER NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK (DEPENDING ON THE LAST POSITION OF THE SWITCH), OR WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT, THE DOOR MECHANISM WILL NOT GRAB AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT. AFTER REPEATED SLAMMINGS I CAN USUALLY GET IT TO LOCK, BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE TO CARRY BUNGEE CORDS AROUND IN CASE MY DOORS WON'T CLOSE AND I HAVE TO BUNGEE CORD THEM CLOSED TO DRIVE HOME! I HAVE A NEWBORN, I CAN'T HAVE THIS CRAP ON A TRUCK WITH 20K MILES! MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES, I ONLY FOUND OUT HOW MANY THERE WERE AFTER DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR A FIX. *TR
