INADVERTANT TAILGATE OPENING. I HAVE A 2019 FORD F-350 LARIAT SUPER DUTY. THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 800 MILES OF OPERATION. THERE IS NO ALERT SYSTEM IN THE CASB TO ALERT THE DRIVER THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED. THE ONLY INDICATION IS AN ALERT WHILE BACKING TO CHECK THE AREA. I HAVE A TONEAU COVER OVER THE TRUCK BED THAT OBSTRUCTS THE REAR CAMERA FROM ALERTING THE DRIVER. I WAS UNAWARE THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY NOTHING FELL OUT DURING THE TRIPS. THIS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND DIFFERENT MILEAGES.

TRUCK DOOR LOCKS TO NOT OPERATE IN COLD WEATHER. ADDITIONALLY DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT. FOUND THIS OUT WHEN DRIVING AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD AND MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO PASSENGER AS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FLOWN OUT OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE FORD TRUCKS. REFER TO FSA 18N03 WHICH IS A FIELD SERVICE ACTION BULLETIN. WHY THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES IS A MYSTERY TO ME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM. THEY TELL ME THAT A TECHNICIAN NEEDS TO TAKE EACH DOOR APART AND APPLY SEALANTS AND LUBRICATION TO THE PARTS. IN SEARCHING OUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THE DEALER FIX DOES NOT WORK..THAT THE PROBLEM REOCCURS. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I PAID OVER 80K FOR THIS TRUCK AND I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A SAFETY HAZARD.

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.

OUR AUTOMATIC TAILGATE ON OUR 2019 FORD F350 TRUCK OPENS AND COMES DOWN RANDOMLY. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, THE LAST TIME THE KEY FOB WAS IN THE CUP HOLDER WHEN WE WERE FILLING THE TRUCK AT THE GAS STATION. WITH OUR 5TH WHEEL TRAILER ATTACHED, THE TAILGATE CAME DOWN AS WE PULLED AWAY. NOT KNOWING IT CAME DOWN, WE MADE A TURN PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION WHICH CAUSED OVER A $1,000 IN DAMAGE TO OUR TRAILER. THIS RANDOMLY OPENING TAILGATE IS DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE PULLING A TRAILER OR WITH ANY MATERIALS THAT MAY FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK BED. FORD CONTINUES TO DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM.

THIS IS A 2019 F-350. THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FROZE. I COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL THE TRUCK WARMED UP AND THAWED. THE WEATHER AND TRUCK WERE DRY AND COLD. IT HAD RAINED TWO DAYS EARLIER. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN 2019. *DT *DT*JB

CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC TIRES. EXCESSIVE VEHICLE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO SEPARATION THE TREAD PLIES AND POOR TIRE MOLDING TECHNIQUES. HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH MY LAST VEHICLE WHICH HAD THE SAME TIRES ON IT. SIZE ON BOTH VEHICLES WAS LT275/65R18. I FEEL CONTINENTAL TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND BANNED FROM SELLING TIRES IN THIS COUNTRY *DT *JB
