What 1,686 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford F-150 Supercab

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH ALL THE TIME WHEN CLOSED. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 40'S AND HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY WET WEATHER OR WASHED IN 4 DAYS. SHUT IT 5 TIMES AND IT WOULD JUST BOUNCE BACK OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE WE OWNED THE TRUCK(1-2019). HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN COOLER WEATHER. HAVE TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER SINCE 1-2019 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND TO USE PENETRATING OIL ON THE LATCH. WHICH HAS NOT HELPED.

DEC 2019, I REPORTED TO THE CAR DEALER THAT MY DOOR LATCH WAS FROZEN AND MY DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GO TO WORK (STILL IN DRIVEWAY). FRED BEANS OF WEST CHESTER, PA TOLD BE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAT IT UP. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOW OCT 2020, I FOUND IN MY FOLDER WHILE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE MFG RECALL NUMBER 17S33, NHTSA RECALL # 17V652. I SETUP UP AN APPT, DROPPED OFF MY CAR AND THEY CALLED ME THIS MORNING 10/5 THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET REIMBURSED.

DOOR LATCH STUCK OPEN AFTER OPENING AND UNABLE TO GET TO RESET SO DOOR WOULD STAY CLOSED. VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL TEMPERATUES OUTSIDE WENT UP ABOVE FREEZING. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND REMOTE START WAS USED TO START/WARM VEHICLE PRIOR TO TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THIS WINTER, BUT ONLY RECORDING ONE DATE BELOW DUE TO LIMITATION IN ONLINE REPORTING SYSTEM. WHEN LOOKING UP THIS PROBLEM FOUND VEHICLES HAVE BEEN ISSUED RECALL FOR REPAIR, BUT MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I GOT OFF WORK GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AFTER A RAINY DAY WATER POURED OUT FROM MY CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING OF MY TRUCK. THIS THE SECOND TIME IT'S DONE IT. WATER COMES OUT OF THE BUTTONS USED TO CONTROL THE REAR WINDOW BUTTON ALSO FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE USED TO HELP UPON ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR 10 HOURS AND RAIN WAS HAPPENING ALL DAY. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE THE INTERIOR WAS DRY BUT AS SOON AS I TURNED RIGHT WATER BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING.

EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW 20 DEGREES THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH NOR LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT, IN FACT CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. IN TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THEY ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, APPARENTLY FORD DOESN'T.

MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18N03 FOR THE DOOR LATCH FREEZING OVERNIGHT AND BEING UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER OPENING IT IN THE MORNING UNTIL IT WARMED UP. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED UNDER THE PROGRAM 18N03 IN MARCH 2019. IN FEBRUARY 2020 THE SAME DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY AS THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS MANUALLY OPERATED FROM THE INSIDE. GIVEN THE SHORT TIME FRAME BETWEEN THE TWO REPAIRS THE ORIGINAL FREEZING AND BEING UNABLE TO LATCH MUST HAVE DAMAGED THE DOOR LATCH CAUSING IT TO FAIL LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. THE DEALER AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AGENT BOTH REFUSED TO REPAIR THE LATCH THE SECOND TIME UNDER THE PROGRAM COSTING ME $583 OUT OF POCKET.

MY FORD WAS TAKEN TO THE FOX FORD IN WAYNESBURG, PA TO FIX THE 2 RECALLS ON 12/30/2019. ONE OF THE RECALLS WERE REGARDING THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR CLOSING. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED BOTH RECALLS. AND ONE WEEK LATER ON 01/06/2020 THE DRIVERS DOOR COULD NOT GET INTO HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO START THE TRUCK. THEN ONCE THE DOOR WAS PUSHED OPEN FROM THE INSIDE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES TO WARM UP AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE UNLESS YOU USED THE LOCK. CALLED THE FOX FORD BACK AND TOLD THEM AND THEY RESCHEDULED MY TRUCK BACK IN ON 01/13/20. THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THE DOOR AGAIN AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO EXCEPT PUT MORE LUBE ON/IN IT . AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH OUT CHARGING ME OR HAVING ANOTHER RECALL. THEREFORE I AM NOTIFYING YOU.

DOORS LOCKS ARE FREEZING UP AND DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE ON MY 2016 F150. TRUCK HAVE BEEN SERVICED ON 12/6/18, 8/3/18, 4/13/18 AND I'M GOING TO BRING IT IN 12/19/19 FOR SERVICE FOR FROZEN DOOR LOCKS. MY VEHICLE STATIONARY AT WORK ON 12/15/19 AND I COULDN'T LOCK THE DOOR UNTIL 20MINUTES LATER. THEN 12/12/19 IN MORNING I WAS DRIVING AND THE DOOR WAS UNLOCK I PULLED OVER AND IT WOULDN'T LOCK SO MY WIFE HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR UNTIL I DROPPED HER OFF. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN WITH FORD. THIS IS A INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND FORD SHOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS ISSUE OR FORD SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE DOORS AND THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

2016 F150 CREW CAB DOOR HANDLES FREEZE AND EITHER, DO NOT OPEN, WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY, OR NOT CLOSE AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN DISCUSSIONS ONLINE CONCERNING RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL, BUT WHEN I CHECK THE VIN NUMBER IT SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING, AND NOT OPENED ON OTHER OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE AROUND OR BELOW FREEZING.

THE POWER LIFT RUNNING BOARDS OPERATE WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND WHEN IN PARK THE DOOR OPENS TO ACTIVE THIS FEATURE THE BOARD COMES OUT AND STAYS OUT BUT MORE OFTEN IT JUST RETRACTS CAUSING A MISS STEP AND FALLING WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE.

IT NEARLY STARTED A FIRE.

TAILGATE DISCONNECTED FROM HINGES ON OUR 2016 F150. TRAVELTRAVELLING IN A 30MPH ZONE WITH TAILGATE OPEN LYING DOWN TO TRANSPORT A DOOR. TRUCK PASSING OVER A SHALLOW BREAK IN PAVEMENT AT WHICH TIME WE HEARD A LOUD THUMP. IMMEDIATE INSPECTION DISCOVERED TAILGATE DISENGAGED FROM HINGES LANDING ON ONE HINGE AND BUMPER. SAFETY CABLES HELD BUMPER FROM FALLING OFF COMPLETELY. REVIEWED WITH SERVICE AT FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. PRIOR TO REVEALING WHAT HAPPENED THE AGENT ACKNOWLEDGED HE HAS HEARD OF THIS ISSUE ON ANOTHER FORD TRUCK LOCALLY. IN THAT INCIDENT THE GATE WAS DESTROYED FROM LANDING IN ROAD. ONCE I REVEALED OUR INCIDENT HE INDICATED THAT IT IS NOT A WARRANTY MATTER EVEN THOUGH OUR VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AT JUST 12,000 MILES. HIS ASSISTANT INDICATED THERE IS A PART AVAILABLE TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM BOUNCING AND SLIDING OUT. SUGGESTED THAT HAVING A PART AVAILABLE TO PREVENT WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO OUR TRUCK IS AN ADMISSION OF A FAULTY DESIGN. THE AGENT INSISTED THE HINGE ASSEMBLY IS NOT A FAULTY DESIGN AS THE GATES ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE LYING DOWN WHEN TRAVELLING. AT THAT POINT I CHUCKLED AND LEFT. OF COURSE TELLING HIM I WOULD NOT BE BACK FOR A 3RD NEW TRUCK. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS IN VEHICLES TRAVELLING BEHIND A FORD TRUCK THAT EXPERIENCES A TAILGATE HINGE MALFUNCTION.

PLASTIC TRACKS ON PANORAMIC SUNROOF BROKE. WHILE STATIONARY. I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE SUNROOF.

NHTSA ODI 11219317

THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF WILL NOT CLOSE AND IS STUCK IN THE PARTIALLY OPENED POSITION. THE GLASS HAS A PARTIAL CRACK IN IT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL SHATTER INJURING ANY PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 21000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION ON THIS PROBLEM. ONE MONTH EARLIER THE ROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE AND I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PRESSED ON THE GLASS AND FINALLY THE GLASS PANEL RETURNED INTO THE TRACK AND CLOSED.
