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.

While passanger seat is occupied by a fully grown adult with seatbelt fastened, airbag turns off, seemingly at random. vehicle was in motion on city streets.
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.
I was going on a trip i have a 1 yr old sister in law i had to put her baby car seat i wanted to put her in the middle away from the sides and to my surprise the middle seatbelt does not work it would of been the first time using the seatbelt i've contacted dealerships and contacted headquarters and they have been no help telling me it could be 5 to 6 days just to look at it my thing is why isn't a seatbelt issue being taken serious. in my opinion it's a very serious issue any help would greatly appreciated.
During a accident where i rear ended another vehicle that was either stopped or at a very slow roll on a off-ramp (traffic was backed up from a wreck further up), neither my airbags or my seat belt restrained me. the result being me hitting the steering wheel with my chest and abdomen. i had bruising on my lower abdomen and extensive injuries to my back, neck and hips. the chiropractor hopes to have me back to 80-90% of "normal" (how i was before the wreck) within 2-2 1/2 months. i estimate my speed upon impact to be between 50-60 mph.
Passenger side seatbelt retractor does not work properly if occupant is leaning forward, as in a slow braking situation followed by harder braking. i've saved my face dozens of times from hitting the dashboard, even after the original seatbelt retractor was replaced. the 2nd one provides protection only in strictly hard braking situations, not slow-then-hard braking.
The front driver side seat belt tensioner failed. it is stuck in tension mode, it will not retract nor expand. there is a recall on f150s built january 22nd 2015 to march 17th 2015 supercrew models but mine is built in june of 2015 with the same problem. dealer recognized the issue and i'm bringing it to the dealer for repair today june 15th, 2016. this should be an fyi that other production might be affected and not just the models listed in the original recall. i was backing up the truck when the seat belt tightened up and then stayed that way. it won't expand nor retract. serious safety issue. i will take a video of it with my phone should you want that evidence.
I was involved in an accident on june 13, 2016 on a local city road at an intersection; where a vehicle failed to yield to right of way, causing me to hit them head on, on their front passenger side. i was temporarily knocked unconscious, and sustained 2 broken teeth, burns on my face from the airbag deployment (which has left scars), bruising and swelling on my lower abdomen, my torso, major bruising and swelling on the right side of my face, and severe tension in my neck and back. i was traveling no more that 35 mph. i sustained these injuries because the seat belt failed to lock on impact to restrain me from hitting the airbag so hard.
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.
From day one the passenger side shoulder harness periodically wouldn't take hold, forcing passenger to slide seat well back from dashboard to avoid injury. it was replaced once and is better than before but still occasionally fails. brakes were extremely grabby from day one, but we drove the vehicle for 30000 miles before taking it in due to vibration during any braking since approx 25000 miles. rotors were rturned and finally the vehicle brakes normally, helpful because it is less likely that braking will send passenger lurching forward when faulty shoulder harness won't hold.
