The (driver's side) door sometimes does not latch completely, or will not close completely, even though we have had it repaired under fsa 18no3. We learned there was a fsa 19no2 and that the dealer should repair it again at no charge, but they want to charge us $150, even though ford says it should be free.
2015 Ford F-150 body complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 148, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Drivers door won't seal properly. Been adjusted before but condition comes back. Hear air coming in while driving. Also see and feel door vibrating.
I was driving to work with no other cars around me when I heard a loud bang and my back window shaddered without anything hitting it. I was driving on a smooth highway that was just redone 2 years ago
Driver door would not latch shut in cold weather.
I bought my 2015 ford f150 super cab truck used in july 2015. Since december 2018 the driver side door's (front & back) will not open when ice or water is present below freezing temperatures. If and when I can get them open they will not latch back. So far this winter this has happened several times. The first time was in december 2018 while visiting at a hospital in muncie, indiana. After visiting for several hours the temperature had dropped. I unlocked the doors with the remote and the door would not open. Then after I pulled hard several times it finally opened but when I closed the door t would not latch. After many unsuccessful tries at getting the doors to latch I had to wrap my belt through the tops of the opened windows to hold the doors closed. The door open alarm then continued to sound for the two and one half drive home. It had rained earlier in the day but then with temperature at about 28 deg., they froze up. The next three times the same thing happened but over night, finding the same problem in the morning. I couldn't use the truck safely so it sat in the driveway until it thawed. The last (fifth) time I ran the engine and heater for about a half hour until I could get it to latch. Here it is against the law to let a vehicle run while unattended. I did get an official looking questionnaire in the mail and I sent it to advantage ford in connersville, indiana (I think). I should have kept a copy for myself. This is not only an inconvenience but very unsafe.
This vehicle is equipped with the "panoramic sunroof/moonfoof". It has never worked flawlessly since the day I purchased the vehicle. 3 days ago, it opened and now will not close. My vehicle basically has a permanent hole in the roof. Ford dealer says this is common problem and the entire window frame has to come out of the ceiling and be replaced by the one that ford has "redesigned"...but no recall.
Rear entry doors freeze open and will not latch. Recall 18n03 installed on january 25, 2019 and both doors failed to latch the next day. Drove to the dealer using a ratchet strap to hold doors shut where dealer took vehicle into chop to defrost. This issue persists - previous recall by ford done in april - after winter season. Have been pleading with dealer since winter of 2015 and they said their hands are tied.
I have an extended cab 2015 f-150 pick up truck. The rear suicide doors do not latch closed which leaves the front seat belt attachment unattached to the car whatsoever. I took the truck to ed shults ford in jamestown, ny and they determined the rear door latch cable is stretching out which keeps the door from latching. This is happening on a 3 year old truck. The dealer also informed me that they see this several times a week on other f-150's with the extended cab rear suicide doors. No recall or tsb has been issued so they are charging me to fix the cable and latch. This is a huge safety concern for me. The doors need to latch, how long will this "fix" last for? The truck is 3 years old, I should not need to replace door cables on the inside of the door ever, let alone within 3 years from being produced. The door cable is internal to the door and not affected by swinging the door open. I am asking for ford to address the safety concern and provide all customers with a safe, long term fix for this door latch mechanism on 2015 f-150's with rear suicide doors.
My 2015 ford f-150 is subject to a manufacturer recall #17s33, the federal safety agency recall #17v652. I contacted my dealer hoffpauir ford at 902 n. Key ave lampasas,tx 76550, tel. 888‑708‑4036 (service department - [xxx]), and arranged to have the recall work performed on 11-14-18. Upon arrival [xxx] indicated he had used all the parts he had allocated on 4 other vehicles. I have attempted to reschedule, however [xxx] indicates he has no recall repair parts. Please indicate how I may receive these parts as soon as possible. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
At random times: some or all of my doors either won't close or will not open. This can happen while it is driving down the road! There are numerous videos on you tube showing this happening. The recall part that I had done with ford did not help at all! I no longer have a ford dealership in my town. When I did the last recall work for the "rain guards" I had to pay up front then wait to be paid back. This was a complete waste, they actually froze open again a few days later. There is no doubt that ford knows of this problem but they refuse to do anything about it.
Door hinges freezing causing doors to not latch and open while driving.
Door latches freeze during cold weather. Can not open doors or can not get doors to close once opened. I have had all recalls and customer satisfaction programs preformed. Dealer has no other fix options available from ford. All 2015 f150's exposed to cold climates have the potential for door latches to freeze. For the past three years I have had to drive with door or doors unable to close at times. I don't think a ratchet strap holding doors closed is safe. This is a serious issue that has been continuing for the past three winters. You just never know when the latches will or will not work.
My rear passenger side door wouldn't open a couple weeks ago. It was freezing temps that day, and figured it was related to the federal safety agency recall # 17v652. I was unable to open the door, even though it was unlocked. It was stuck at the bottom hinge. So I took it to the mclarty food dealership in north little rock, ar. They had my truck there all day. Since they couldn't open the door, they said it wasn't related to the recall. They also tried to say it was a result of a collision. This is the first time this has happened. I informed them that my truck was in a collision over a year and half ago, but the truck was completed fixed at their mclarty collision center with new ford oem parts. I even stated that the recall description even stated that the door could become unable to open because of a bent door latch cable. They still refused to fix it unless I paid them $130 diagnostic fee. Because I still had a warranty on the collision repair work, I took it back to collision company. They were able to get the door off in less than 30 minutes. As predicted, a door latch cable was my issue. The collision people even agreed it was related to the recall, and sent me a picture of the bent cable.
2 f150 safety recalls: passenger side seat belt and door locking mechanism. Contacted gullo ford conroe tx, they were not able to cheduje recall repairs due to inability to maintain stock and were not able to even schedule the repairs. Very dis-satisfied w the response and over all management of the repairs. No sense of urgency and concern about the criticality of the recalls.
Doors of the vehicle freeze up and don't open or after opening, they dont shut securely. I recently had to drive to my destination while holding the drivers door in a closed position while driving. Door would not latch until later in the day. Temperatures were not below freezing outside. This is am extreme safety issue I have been dealing with for three years on all my doors, with no proper fix from the ford motor company.
Re: campaign 17v652000. Frozen doors/locks. Vehicle has had both the recall 17v652000 and service action 18n03 performed, issue still exists. Doors will not close and latch, doors will not open, lock mechanisms will not function when below freezing temperatures are present, especially after precipitation. Vehicle was stationary when issue occurred, however door could have easily opened if I had not realized it wasn't latched when it appeared to be. Ford does not appear to have a solution to this issue, or isn't serious about providing permanent remedy. Issue has happened several times when weather conditions apply.
The platinum trim version includes retractable running boards. These fail to deploy on occasion and have resulted in both my wife and I stumbling when getting out and expecting the running board to be deployed. It will also deploy and then immediately retract without warning. In the best, one side or the other would deploy and then immediately retract. Dealer has been unable to provide a permanent fix. Last night my wife opened the passenger door, the running board deployed, and as I wife attempted to step on it, it retracted which could have pinned her leg. Earlier that evening she went to exit the vehicle and stumbled after expecting the running board to be deployed. It had deployed but immediately retracted. This has also happened to me on the drivers side.
Door latch not working in freezing conditions. The vehicle has only 12,000 miles and has been into the dealer three times (two under recall) for this problem. It still has the same problem. The door will not latch either while stationary or in motion causing it to open while driving ( I've had to use a bungee cord on occasion) and it also makes it impossible to lock the vehicle when this happens. Ford's "fixes" are not satisfactory and this is a safety and security issue.
My 2015 ford f 150 has been in the shop 6 times for repair of the moonroof that won't open, sticks, broken mechanism, or makes loud noise (popping sound) when it tries tom open. It has now developed a water leak that drips from the sliding rear window switch which may cause a short circuit. This problem happens at all vehicle modes. This problem started 4 months after purchasing the vehicle in 2015 and has continues to present day. Vehicle currently has 26+k miles. There are numerous complaints on the web about the same issue (s).

All american ford in paramus nj will not supply a loaner vehicle for a recall that will take several hours. I was told since I did not purchase the vehicle at that dealership they can't help me.
Complaint - manufacturer handing of the federal safety agency recall 17v652 I have contacted ford multiple times regarding this recall and each time they have said I would be contacted when the parts are ready. It has been nearly a year since the original recall (nov 2017). I encourage the federal safety agency to assess ford's handling of this safety recall to determine if they are unnecessarily delaying required safety repairs.
Manufacturer recall number17s33 the federal safety agency recall number17v652 I have not been contacted regarding this recall.
While driving my 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost at 45 MPH on a city street I had a low break fluid warning light come on. I stopped at a stop light and all seemed fine.I proceeded 2 blocks to find somewhere safe to check the brake fluid level. When I tried to stop at the next stop light I had no brakes at all!!! I went through the red light intersection with my foot to the floor on the brakes. With luck, I did not hit another vehicle. I coasted slow enough to use my parking brake (e-brake) to make a full stop. I open the hood and noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was almost completely empty. After carefully examining all of the brake lines ,fittings, calipers, master cylinder and the engine compartment no brake fluid was found leaking anywhere. I had the 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost towed to a dealership. Also about a week ago during a long road trip I noticed a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers door. I was on an interstate going about 75 MPH. I got off of the interstate and re-closed my door thinking I did not shut it hard enough. About 5 miles down the interstate driving about 75 MPH I went over an approach (or a bump) to a bridge and the door dropped out of it's closed position and I could stick 4 fingers out between the door and door frame. I pull over at a safe area to exam the door and frame. I noticed that the door bolts (top and bottom) that hold the door hinge to the door had come loose and backed out about 4 turns. I tightened them and finished my trip. I notified the dealership so they can see why that had happened.
Fords recall # 17s33 the federal safety agency recall # 17v652 three different times last fall I could not close my passenger rear door.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While attempting to exit the vehicle, the automatic running board inadvertently retracted. As a result, the contact's foot was lodged between the running board and the vehicle. The dealer (buss ford lincoln, 111 north illinois route 31, mchenry, il 60050) was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was also contacted and stated that there was no recall for that specific failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 51,000.
It has been nearly nine months since ford first reported a recall on certain ford f-150 trucks related to faulty door latches. To date, ford has still not notified effected owners how or where they can have their vehicles repaired. I encourage the federal safety agency to determine whether or not ford is living up to its obligations to repair the defect on a timely basis. Lives are at stake.
