1/30/17 FRONT DOORS NOT LATCHING, RECALL COMPLETED. 11/19/18 DOORS AGAIN NOT LATCHING INCLUDING THE REAR DOORS NOW, RECALL COMPLETED 1/9/19 DOOR AGING NOT LATCHING. ENROUTE TO DROP OFF VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP THE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE TAKING A CURVE IN THE ROADWAY. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT SUCH AS MY CHILDREN OR DOG. RECALL COMPLETED AND TOLD ALL PROBLEMS FIXED. 1/19/19 OUT OF TOWN WITH VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO SHUT FOR OVER 2 HOURS. UNABLE TO MAKE THE 1 HOUR DRIVE HOME UNTIL DOOR WOULD LATCH. 1/21/19 TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP TO AGAIN, FOR THE 4TH TIME, HAVE THE DOORS LOOKED AT AGAIN. I HAVE NO SENSE OF SAFETY DRIVING MY VEHICLE AS I FEAR I WON'T BE ABLE TO SHUT DOOR OR THE DOOR WILL FLY OPEN. VERY SAD AFTER TAKING VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES AND EACH TIME TOLD THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. IS IT REALLY FIXED??

WHEN COLD THE VEHICLE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH OR STAY CLOSED. SEEMS TO WORK WHEN MILD OR WARM. THE DOOR IS IN PERFECT ORIGINAL CONDITION - NO ACCIDENTS, ETC. WHILE SO FAR I CAN EVENTUALLY GET THE LATCH TO CATCH IT SEEMS THE DOOR LATCH CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO CLOSE AND STAY CLOSED SAFELY PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. NYE FORD (1479 GENESEE ST, ONEIDA, NY 13421, (888) 769-0937) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) ON DECEMBER 3, 2018; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM UNLATCHING AND OPENING WITHOUT WARNING.

WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, OR THEY WON'T LATCH SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 5 OCCASIONS SINCE NOVEMBER 2018 . FORD ISSUED SAFETY RECALL 17S33 AND FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18N03 TO TRY TO REPAIR THE DOOR LATCH DEFECT. THOSE RECALLS, AND REPAIR PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, AND AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO CORRECT THE LATCH ISSUES, THE DEFECT STILL EXISTS. THE DOORS STILL HAVE PROBLEMS OPENING AND LATCHING SHUT WHEN FREEZING OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES. NHTSA CAMPAIGN 17V652 IDENTIFIES THIS SAFETY DEFECT AS ONE THAT CAUSES THE DOORS TO EITHER NOT OPEN, NOT CLOSE, OR TO FLY OPEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I BELIEVE IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY KIDS OR PETS, TO RIDE IN A CAR WHERE THE DOORS CAN EITHER UNEXPECTEDLY FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OR TO NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN IN EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. FORD NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A RELIABLE REPAIR FOR THIS.

YESTERDAY, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENT AND I GOT SOME VIDEO OF IT THIS TIME. IT ONLY ACTED UP FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE GOING AWAY AGAIN.

I'VE BOUGHT MY 2016 F150 XLT FX4 SC 5.0L USED WITH ABOUT 69K MILES ON IT AND HAD IT FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW. SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IT WILL DEVELOP A ROUGH IDLE AND WILL STALL WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I MAKE A MULTI STOP TRIP, FOR EXAMPLE IF I STOP AT THE MARKET ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, OR SOMETIMES EVEN JUST RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. SO FAR THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS. OUTSIDE TEMPS ARE NO FACTORS AS THIS HAPPENS IN COLD WINTERY CONDITIONS OR HOT AND HUMID WEATHER. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK STALLS, THE CEL DOES NOT COME ON OR ANY OTHER DASH LIGHT EXCEPT THE BATTERY LIGHT AND I CAN RESTART THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER THE TRUCK RESTARTS THERE IS NO FAULT LIGHT ON THE DASH AND TRUCK ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY STORED CODES OR PENDING CODES PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. THE REPAIR SHOP WAS ALSO ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT ALSO NOTICED A STRONG SMELL FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AT THE MOMENT, IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT'S CAUSING MY TRUCK TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND STALL.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO AN APPOINTMENT I MADE WITH PRESTIGE FORD 17701 U.S. HWY 441, MT. DORA, FLORIDA 32756 FOR SAFETY RECALL 17V-652. I MADE AN APT. TO HAVE IT FIXED DEC. 24, @ 12:30. I ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES EARLY SIGNED PAPERWORK AND SAID I'D WAIT. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL IT MALFUNCTIONS. I ASKED THE GUY WHY WAS I GIVEN AN APT? HIS RESPONSE WAS IT WASN'T HIM. I TOLD HIM I GOING TO LAKE PLACID IN FEB. AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DOORS FREEZING. HE SAID IF THEY DO THEN I CAN GET IT FIXED. SO I SAID I'M SUPPOSE TO BE STRANDED IN THE NORTH COUNTRY AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN MY TRUCK. ARE YOU PEOPLE FOR REAL? I WANT TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTOS BELOW OF THE WORK TICKET AND, GET THIS, A EMAIL THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME SAYING SORRY YOU MISSED YOUR APPOINTMENT. NO SORRY YOU DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM!

WE JUST TOOK MY 2016 F150 ECOBOOST TO WEST TEXAS OVER THANKSGIVING. TOWED UNDER 7500 LBS. TOWED COMPLETELY NORMAL THE WHOLE TIME (15 HOURS) UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP HOME. ABOUT 2.5 HOURS INTO MY RETURN TRIP (I WAS TOWING WITHOUT MY HUSBAND AND WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS ON A BACK HIGHWAY WITH NO CELL SERVICE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STOPS FOR 2 OF THOSE HOURS😯) I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHERE MY NEXT GAS STATION WAS AND MY TRUCK DIED. IT WOULD RESTART BUT WOULD DIE AGAIN. I FINALLY FIGURE I'M SCREWED, I'LL TRY AND JUST HIT THE GAS AND GO. SO I TOOK OFF AND BLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED A GAS STATION, WHERE IT DIED WHEN I STOPPED.. IT WAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND ALL THE REPAIR SHOPS WERE CLOSED AND THERE WEREN'T ANY PARTS STORES OPEN. I FINALLY UNPLUGGED THE CAMPER, THINKING IT WAS DRAINING MY BATTERY AND STARTED IT UP AND GASSED IT TO GET IT GOING AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED SONORA AND CAMPED FOR THE NIGHT, ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. AND THEN MY TRUCK WAS TOTALLY FINE AFTER THAT. I NEVER HOOKED THE CAMPER BACK UP AND I HAD FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTION CLEANER INTO THE TANK AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE STALLS. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN IT STALLED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT.

F150 FROZEN DOOR LATCHES. DURING WEATHER TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES F, THE DOORS UNLOCK AND OPEN BUT DO NOT LATCH WHEN YOU TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY, AND HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I SOMETIMES I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK WHILE HOLDING THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSED WITH 1 HAND AND STEERING WITH THE OTHER. OTHER TIMES PUSHING DOWN ON THE LOCK ROD AND CLOSING THE DOOR WILL HOLD IT CLOSED. AFTER A 25 MINUTE DRIVE, THE LATCHES THAW OUT AND WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THE TRUCK. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES DURING THE PAST 2 WINTERS WHILE THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAD THE RECALL (TSB 16-0155) DONE AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK 3 DAYS LATER. WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THAT THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL FORD AND OPEN A CASE NUMBER. I OPENED CASE NUMBER "CAS-(XXXXX)" BUT I DIDN'T GET ANY FOLLOW UP FROM FORD. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. I HAD THE LATEST RECALL (18N03) DONE ON NOVEMBER 28, 2018 AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ON DECEMBER 19, 2018. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL CONTACT FORD AND GET BACK TO ME. I'VE LOST MY CONFIDENCE IN FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

THIS MORNING I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE ( IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY) TO WARM IT UP. I PROCEEDED TO USE THE REAR DEFROSTER BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME FROST ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD. FIVE MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD POP AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I I I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RESULT OF A MALFUNCTION WITH THE WIRING OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OR THE REAR WINDSHIELD ITSELF.

LUG NUTS EXPANDING. LUG NUT OEM WRENCH SIZE IS 21MM. LUG NUTS HAVE EXPANDED TO 22MM AND A LITTLE BEYOND. I UNDERSTAND OEM LUG NUTS ARE A TWO PIECE DESIGN. I HAVE SOME LUG NUTS THAT ARE "FREE SPINNING." MEANING ONE OF THE PIECES IS LOOSE FROM THE OTHER AND JUST SPINS WITHOUT THE ENTIRE LUG NUT COMING OFF THE BOLT. I HAVE HAD ONE LUG NUT COME OFF OF TIRE. UP UNTIL TODAY THE FACTORY AND FORD DEALERSHIP ARE THE ONLY PERSONAL TO TOUCH MY WHEELS. THE DEALER COMMENDED I PURCHASE AFTER MARKET LUG NUTS TO SOLVE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY ARE DOING ALSO. AS OF TODAY MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 44K MILES ON IT. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE DEALER STATED I KEEP AN EYE ON THE LUG NUTS BECAUSE THEY WERE SHOWING SIGN OF EXPANDING
