Last year while camping. I pulled into our camping spot. When I put my f150 into park. The right passenger door lock popped up and the door opened all by itself. I got out of the truck to shut the door but it would not close. After having my kid pull and holding the door knob up from inside. The door finally closed. But I did it again later on in the trip. It sounds like the same recall that is on other 2015 f150. The dealership here in Marysville ohio states that it not a recalled item. They want to charge me $600 plus the fix the kinked wire. I refuse to pay to have it fixed because it sounds like a recall. So the vehicle just sits in my driveway.
