2018 F 150 SUPER CREW, RIGHT FRONT DOOR WON'T LATCH SHUT: 12/11/2018 AFTER OPENING THE DOOR TO PUT THE KID'S BACKPACKS IN, I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO LATCH SHUT. I HAD TO RUN THE SEAT BELT THROUGH THE HANDLE IN THE DOOR PANEL TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT ON THE WAY HOME. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, ALSO HAPPENED 12/7/2018 AND 12/8/2018. ONCE HOME, I USED A SCREWDRIVER TO MOVE THE LATCHING MECHANISM IN THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND CONTINUOUSLY HIT THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON. EVENTUALLY THE MECHANISM WOULD FREE UP AND THE DOOR WOULD LATCH SHUT. THIS SCENARIO SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUE COVERED UNDER FORD TSB 16-0155 FOR 2015-2017 F-150'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

DOOR LATCHES FAIL IN OPEN/CLOSED STATE WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 32F. THOUGHT DOOR WAS SHUT WHEN RE-POSITIONING IN DRIVEWAY AND DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY BACKING UP. POSSIBILITY OF BEING LOCKING IN THE CAR DURING EMERGENCY OR EJECTED IF NOT WEARING SEAT BELT. FIXES FOR 2017/EARLY 2018 ARE IN MY JUNE 2018 BUILD AND VIN IS NOT ON RECALL LIST BUT I EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT RECALL RELATED FIXES WERE SUPPOSED TO SOLVE.

THE DOOR LATCHES FREEZE MAKING THE DOORS DIFFICULT TO OPEN BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU CAN'T GET THEM TO LATCH ONCE THEY'RE OPENED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FORD APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND HAS ISSUED FIXES FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. THESE FIXES DO NOT WORK AND THE PROBLEM IS NOW WITH TRUCKS BUILT IN 2018.

THE DOOR LATCHES ON ALL (4) DOORS BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN TEMPS DROP BELOW 32 DEGREES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NOT BEING ABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND HAVE DOORS POP OPEN ON THEIR OWN AFTER BEING SHUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT BEING STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND/OR POSSIBLY HAVING SOMEONE FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE IF DOOR WERE TO POP OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY.

THE ON-DASH MESSAGE REFERENCED EITHER THE AUTO SHUTDOWN OR AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION STOPPING THE ENGINE AND INSTRUCTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE PLACED IN PARK TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.
