Bought f150 in fall of 2015, first few days of cold weather my back passengers doors would not close. They just kept bouncing back at me. Did that a few times didn't think that much about it. Next fall season of 2016 I haven't been able to open my rear doors on my 55,000 vehicle for the past 4 months. Now my tailgate won't open up either! What a joke. Took it to ford dealer and told me it would be at least 1 month before parts would come in there on back order! So ford knows about the problem but won't do anything about it. Salesman offered me some rope to tie the doors shut so they wouldn't open up!!!!!!!! How about that for a safety concern. $55,000 vehicle and they offer me rope to keep my doors closed. I can't put me kids on the truck can't use my vehicle for ways I intended for the past 5 months yet I keep paying my payments of this. What a joke. Just tried to open my tailgate yesterday and the lock mechanism isn't even triggering the lock in the tailgate, its seized up can't use that now either. Someone needs to do something about this.
2015 Ford F-150 body complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 148, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Drivers side door will not latch in cold weather. It has left my truck stranded multiple times. As soon as the outside temp gets above freezing the door will latch as normal. This is a serious safety issue that ford needs to address.
When the weather temp falls below zero in the negatives. My passagers side doors freeze shut. They will not unlatch or unlock, the condition makes a vehicle unsafe for emergency exits.
The trucks doors and locks often will freeze in cold weather. The locks might not unlock the doors, sometimes you'll hear the actuator trying to unlock the door, other times it is so frozen you won't even hear the attempt. The doors can't be unlocked with the key either. Once you've heated the mechanism enough to enter through one of the doors (per internet postings and service bulletins, the problem is only with crew cabs) the latch that keeps the door closed is still frozen in the open position meaning you can't close and latch the door. Reading internet posts about the problem, I see that people are driving around holding their doors closed and doing other dumb and unsafe things. I talked to my dealer in december and then again in late january. I was told both times that they aren't getting the parts from ford until hopefully late march 2017 to start fixing the problem. I spoke with another dealer and they advised that they are getting the parts very slowly and if I want on their repair list, I'd be #57 for repairs. I spoke with ford customer service and was told my issue had been noted and that I should check with the dealer service manager at the dealership that isn't getting any parts. Sounds like a runaround. Anyway, ford has issued two service bulletins tsb 15-0051 and then 1tsb 16-0155. They know there is a problem but they don't seem to care about it. When you live in a freezing climate and you can't open or worse, close your door, it's a safety issue.
Drivers door latch will not keep door shut. Some cold mornings the truck can not be used. The door will open, but not latch shut. Seems to have to do with the inside door handle, it will flop around and not reset. At some time as it heats up it will start working again. This morning it was 8deg, drove my child to bus stop. Got out of truck and door would not latch shut. Had to drive home with dome light on and holding door shut... Not good for a 2 year old car. This is the third time this winter this has happened.
In reference to tsb 15-0052, currently referenced under tsb 16-0155 door locks become inoperable in freezing conditions. I have currently been waiting two weeks for back ordered parts. With multiple tsb's this has been an ongoing issue for ford and back ordered parts over a year later should be unacceptable. Ford's national customer service was of little help, creating case # 115-897-76 and directing me to talk with the manager of my dealership. My individual experience includes a drivers door that will only open from inside and does not shut unless I manually lock the door. Electronic locks completely fail. To push the lock on top of the door (in order to securely close) has become increasingly difficult, almost to the point where it is seized. Driving is a safety concern not knowing the state of how functional and reliable the door latch and hardware is. Door, knowingly ajar, has previously opened while driving before I found pushing the lock in allows it to close. Sure hope others experiencing this issue know this trick.
Door latches are frozen and inoperable in temperatures below freezing. Doors will not open, and if they do open, they will not close. A major safety concern. Truck was parked in my lot over night. Events occurred during the months of 12/2016 and 01/2017. I live in north carolina, a place where it does not get below freezing often.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the inside door locks would freeze at very low temperatures. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and was advised that the parts to remedy the issue were unavailable. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Drivers side front and rear doors either do not open when cold or do not latch when cold. Cannot open doors from the outside with physical key, key fob or remote unlocking.
Supercrews rear door locks do not work electronically. Also driver door locks do not work electronically(button or key fob) or manually either inside or with key outside. Also once open, the door will not latch when closed. This happens when the temperature is below freezing. Has only happened stationary and on different days. Leaving the truck run with heat on high allows the doors to lock/latch. This is not an issue with the key lock or door seals freezing as there was no adverse weather other than the cold temperature. Dealer informed me that it happens when the temperature is 22f or colder and that they have more complaints but not enough for a recall. Informed that ford is working on a fix and the parts are currently backorder. Saw online that it looks like this has been an issue with this style truck for over a year.
At freezing temperatures, the front drivers side door will not always open. If it does, it may not latch when closing and I have to drive home holding the door closed. I took it to the dealer last winter and they said they could not replicate the problem. Apparently there is a tsb from ford identified as 15-0052. This is a nuisance at minimum and dangerous if the door will not close. My model is a super cab.
Windshield washer fluid frozen in lines. When pushing the washer fluid button while driving, the wipers would wipe but not washer fluid would come out causing a dangerous visibility situation. I took it to the dealer that day while they were still frozen and the dealer said I did have the correct windshield washer fluid in them, but they were having problems with them freezing, so they said they dumped more alcohol in the tank and said to let it thaw overnight in the garage (thankfully I have a heated garage, but many don't so I'm not sure what their solution would be). I asked the dealer to perform the tsb currently out that covers this very situation. They said they put more alcohol in the tank and it should be fine. The dealer was dahl ford located in onalaska, wi. This even being a problem to begin with is a alarming, and a dealer not willing to fix such an important problem when it's a known issue is just as much of an alarm! Secondly, my door latches also freeze on the truck when temps are below freezing. All 4 doors of my crew cab are affected. Depending on the day, it varies which one freezes. I have stopped using car washes and trying to keep my truck as dry as possible to no avail. Once these latches freeze, the door will either not lock or unlock (depending on the last position of the switch), or when you open the door and shut it, the door mechanism will not grab and hold the door shut. After repeated slammings I can usually get it to lock, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I have to carry bungee cords around in case my doors won't close and I have to bungee cord them closed to drive home! I have a newborn, I can't have this crap on a truck with 20k miles! Many many many many many people are having these exact same issues, I only found out how many there were after doing an online search for a fix.
Doors will freeze shut making entry/exit of the vehicle impossible in temp's under 20* this has happened 4 times this winter alone. The cold temp is what's affecting it, since moisture was not present 3/4 times.
During below freezing conditions drivers door will not close, will not lock or unlock. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin, tsb 15-0052, but the ford service dept. Says it does not fix the problem. Not really safe driving the truck with one arm holding the door closed for several months of the year. Ford service claims there is nothing they can do unless ford issues a recall action with a real fix.
All four doors will not open when unlocking with key, key fob, or door keypad from either side of the door; interior or exterior. This is especially dangerous in the event that the vehicle is in a crash and a passenger is unable to exit due to the door not opening or emergency crews cannot access the vehicle. The vehicle has been attempted to be repaired twice by the dealer and both times the dealer has stated that the problem has been fixed. The tsb 16-0155 issued by ford motor company is not working and they will not acknowledge the vehicle issues.
In cold weather, the rear driver side door latches are inoperable. The door latch fails to engage, allowing the door to open while the vehicle is in motion. During right hand turns, bumps in the road, or when light pressure is applied to the driver side doors, the vehicle returns a "door ajar" warning as the door open itself. This is especially dangerous in the "supercab" configuration, as the rear door also contains the seat belt for the driver. If the door were to open fully, this could disrupt the driver's ability to control the vehicle, or potentially throw them out of the vehicle. This system failure can also be easily replicated when stationary. Open the driver's door and lightly pull on the rear door. You can see the latch failing to engage as the door move freely at the bottom instead of staying locked shut. When in motion, this problem occurs at all speeds, from parking lot maneuvers to highway travel. The first instance of this failure occurred at approximately 17*f. The door jambs and latch assemblies were confirmed to be free of ice, snow, or any other debris.
When the outside temperature is less than 20 degrees fahrenheit, the front driver side and passenger side doors will not close. They are frozen in the open position. After driving the vehicle for about 15 minutes with heat on high (this usually requires one hand holding door closed) the doors will eventually latch. Sometimes the driver side door will not unlock, even by using the key. When this occurs, I have to get in the truck through the passenger door. When I do this, the passenger door will not latch. When this happens I have to strap the door closed. This is very dangerous and troublesome as this is a new vehicle.
My 2015 ford f150 truck has inoperative frozen door latches.I have waited 6-8 weeks for the parts to come in. Ive had many occasions ive had to bungee my door somewhat closed to get my family home.I cannot get into my truck and when I do I cannot get the door to shut because of the inoperative door latches. I had it at a ford dealership for a frozen door latch, inoperative tsb (16-0155) on 1/6/17. On 1/7/17 I went out to my truck and I cannot get into it even with the tsb work done the day before. They replaced some updated parts and cleaned and lubed the latches.I also have windows that freeze shut with no snow or ice holding them shut. These are major safety issues ! I have a few video recordings of me trying to get into my truck with no luck and have stopped to my dealer with a bugee holding the passenger door from opening with my 2 yr old son in the back. Ive been dealing with these problems since new.
2015 f-150 lariat supercrew cab door locks and tail gate become frozen in cold weather. This has been happening more often lately with cold temps in michigan winter. Got up this morning with my kids to take them to school, got them in the car and the door would not stay closed (rear passenger). Checked the latches, the mechanics seemed to be working (handle, etc.) but I could not get the door to stay closed. Happens on the doors (all 4) and the tailgate (tailgate would not open).
Driver door frequently will not latch shut in cold weather. This means sometimes being stranded or having to drive with the driver's door swinging open. This is a widespread issue.
Bottom latch in rear door, passenger side (supercab) would not latch shut during a cold spell, causing a warning notification while driving that the rear door was open. I pulled on bottom of door and verified that the door was not latched and it would move a significant amount. Ford is aware of this and there is a ford ssm that only dealers can see on this issue (#46260). This is a safety issue and should be a recall as I had my daughter next to this door. Many others are experiencing the same issue. Only a matter of time until someone falls out a door. What happens is moisture is running down the doors and onto the latches. It then freezes on the latch, causing them not to function properly. This especially happens after going through a car wash on a very cold day or after a rain event and then the temperature drops. Also, during the same time my front doors would not open even though the door handle would fully move. The latches internal to the door were frozen due to moisture. Ford is also aware of this issue and issued tsb 16-0155 to install rain guards above the latches.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the tailgate did big time detached from the vehicle on its own. The failure damaged the wiring cable on the rear of the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the computer wires that were damaged needed to be replaced first in order to properly diagnose the tailgate failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but the contact had not received a response. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000. Updated 01/10/17* lj

Running board failure on f150 2015 lariat. My 2015 lariat came with factory installed running boards which we need as my wife and I are both 68 years old. The running boards make getting in and out of the cab safe and easy, at least that is what I thought. After 9 months of ownership my wife fell while getting into the truck causing bruising and contusions to her legs. I looked carefully at the running boards after that incident and found that the rubber like treads that were supposed to provide traction when stepped on had come loose and were moving about 1/2" from side to side on the chrome metal step side platform. I took it to my dealer who inspected it and told me they would have to replace the running board. I was concerned about this so I monitored it carefully. Nine (9) months later I found that not only the passenger side as coming loose again but so was the driver side. It would appear that the rubber/plastic composite that the non slip treads are made of are simple pushed through holes in the running board steel plate material with no protection on the inserted necks of the tread from being eaten away by the edges of the holes in the plate causing the necks of the treads to deteriorate quickly due to chafing. This entire matter and the way ford responded to my request to cover the defective parts until they can find a safe and reliable solution left me sad. My wife should not be subjected to possible serious injury for what ford's regional manager would like to classify as a cosmetic issue. Step treads on a steel running board are a safety feature not a cosmetic add on. Ford must know by now that this issue isn't isolated to my vehicle and that they have a problem with the treads and the design in general. It is a shame they would let a $10 tread tarnish the reviews of their new aluminum body line of trucks.
2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to sun roof rattles/popping noise issues. Consumer states dealership refuses to buy back vehicle. *smd the consumer stated after purchasing the vehicle, he noticed a problem with the roof, weather stripping and the paint was peeling. The dealer replaced the weather stripping, repainted the roof of the cab. Ford engineers did not know how to correct the popping noise.
The vehicle is a 2015 ford f-150 extended cab. My vehicle has not been involved in an incident, but there is a defect in the design of the seatbelt/door latches. Design of the rear doors and the latches traps the rear seat passenger in the event of the incapacitation of the front seat passenger. The rear door cannot be opened unless the front door is opened first. There is no way for a rear seat passenger to be able to open the front door in the case of an accident, and there is no alternative method of egress for rear seat passengers. This is a design defect affecting all 2015 f-150 crew cab pickups. So far there I have not had an accident, but the problem should be addressed by ford before there are tragic results from the design error.
During temperatures below freezing (32 f) one or more of the door locks and/or latches will freeze and become inoperable. Power lock buttons will not function to unlock the door and door handles will not open the doors (from the outside). Doors have to be unlocked from the inside, by manually cycling the pull knob multiple times to loosen the frozen lock. Frozen door latches are only able to be opened from the inside (using the inside handles). At times, the frozen door locks and latches will not re-secure the doors and the doors will not lock or the latch will not secure and the door will remain unsecured/open and/or unlocked. Spoke to dealer about this issue in feb. 2016 and was advised that ford issued a temporary fix for the issue and a permanent fix would be coming in the next 90 days. Checked back with the dealer in the end of may 2016 - was advised that ford still has not issued a permanent fix for the door lock/latch issue and they could give me no further information - other than the temporary fix that ford issued over the winter only seemed to be a partial solution and was not a permanent fix. I find this to be a significant problem and defect for any new ford f150 being driven in a northern climate. Having doors that are unable to be opened from the outside presents a safety issue as well as having door locks that are frozen shut and have to be manually manipulated from the inside in order to release the lock. Additionally, the fact that the doors and locks may not re-secure the door when closed, leaves you not knowing if you vehicle is locked or if your doors will come open while driving. In addition to being extremely frustrating, this is certainly a safety issue for owners of new f150's as the doors may not be able to be opened or unlocked during below freezing temp.'s. The truck is now one year old and still no fix/solution from ford.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that there were drops of radiator fluid on the floor. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where it was diagnosed with a fractured radiator and needed replacement. The mechanic also stated that the way the radiator was mounted to the body of the vehicle was what caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
Doors on my super crew cab will not open when temperatures are below 22 degrees. Doors are frozen shut. Dealer "fixed" front doors but rear doors were not fixed, parts on nation-wide back order but dealer says it is likely ford engineers trying to solve problem with newly designed hardware.
