2014 Ford F-150: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Feb 17, 2025 · Body · WA

Both rear doors would not open from the outside or inside. They were not locked. They just would not open using the handle inside, trying to pull up on the lock mechanism and unlocking and locking numerous times. The doors would still not open. A child and a dog were in the back seat. I could not access them from the doors had to bring them through the front of the vehicle, which was very difficult. Periodically one door will be OK to open, the next day the door will not open, may or may not depending on how the door feels like working that particular daynot open.

When the battery dies and the vehicle doors are locked you can not unlock the door with the physical key. Doors will not open. I am thankful I was not inside or I would have to break the window to get out.

The rear doors and passenger door will not unlock and cannot be opened manually using the inside handle, outside handle, or key. This represents a safety hazard as the door cannot be unlocked especially if small children are in the back seat. This is a manufacture defect at no fault to the owners.

Parked in a parking lot in a suburban area but in an isolated part of the lot have a super can with suicide doors, was able to get in the back seat and close all doors. Front console was up. There was no exit and I had no communication devise such as a cell phone. After combing the back seat area for about 30 minutes I happened to see the front console lever and was able to get it down and reach front door handle.. It was a 100 degree day and had this not happened at approx 10pm I may have died. I could not reach the manual but there was nothing concerning the doors when I eventually was able to read it. Ford complaint was made november 2,2018, was told to contact dealer service department. Was told there was no recourse and nothing could be done to rectify issue

The power door lock actuators in all four doors have failed within a period of two months. When the actuators fails, the door will no longer lock/unlock with keyless remote or by using the inside button to unlock the doors. Only the driver door has a key hole, so when the other rdoor are not working, the only way to unlock the door is from the inside. Occasionally while the door actuators is not working, the door is difficult to open from the inside as if the lock is difficult to unlock. The only repair to fix the actuators is by replacing the entire door latch mechanism. I worry the door would become inoperable and unable to open someone could be trapped inside. Another concern is vehicle theft due to the door not looking as assumed when pressing the button.

4 year old truck passenger door and rear driver door locks do not work. You can pull the driver side knob up after you roll the window down which is ludacris in my book I have to small children and if we were happen to get in an accident I would hate to have to bust the window out if it was serious. I could understand if this vehicle was 10 years old and they stopped workin but this is not the case 4 years old ford should replace what ever is wrong...... I have read other complaints about this model year and other ford f150 door issues something needs to be done.... Thanks for your time.
