WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW FREEZING, DOOR WILL NOT LATCH ON DRIVERS SIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO EITHER PARK IN A GARAGE (NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME) OR TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND HIT THE LOCK BUTTON. THE DOOR WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE, BUT AFTER TRUCK GETS TO WARMING TEMP, IT EVENTUALLY WILL LATCH. JUST A SUPER DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEED THE TRUCK TO GET TO WORK OR SOMETHING AND HAVE NO OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN BUT MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO RECALLS.

THE 2017 F-150 RAPTOR HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE LAST 5000 MILES THE TRUCKS 10 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO SHIFT UP AND DOWN WITH ABRUPTNESS. THE SHIFT IS NOISY AND HARSH TO THE POINT THAT THE WHOLE TRUCK JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSIONS ALSO SHIFTS DOWN REAL HARD SO AS TO CAUSE THE PASSENGERS THE FEELING THAT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BY A ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND TAKING A LEFT TURN ON A FLASHING ARROW INTERSECTION IS VERY DANGEROUS. FORD SAYS THIS IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TRUCK ALTHOUGH FOR THE FIRST 25,000 MILES NONE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EXISTED. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.

RATTLE ON START UP. THIS TRUCK SAT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TO OVER NIGHT AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL FOR BETWEEN 15 AND 30 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK ENGINE THE 3.5L ECOBOOST. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE TORN DOWN. THE COMMON PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS. FORD CORP WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS IN SUPPORTING THIS REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. MY TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 13 AND I MIGHT GET IT AUGUST 16 OR 17. PARTS WERE ORDERED ON MAY 15 AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY WAS JULY 31. THAT'S UNSATISFACTORY! FORD DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AS THERE ARE SO MANY ENGINES BEING REPAIRD FOR THIS ISSUE.
