Door locks frozen temperature was 17 degrees and truck would not unlock had to leave it at work. i have had problems before but i have been able to get the doors open but they wouldn't latch closed
When the temperature dips below freezing, door will not latch on drivers side. extremely dangerous. only remedy i have found is to either park in a garage (not possible for me) or to close the door and hit the lock button. the door will not fully close, but after truck gets to warming temp, it eventually will latch. just a super dangerous situation especially when you need the truck to get to work or something and have no other mode of transport. i believe there is a safety bulletin but my vin comes back with no recalls.
Moonroof jammed. the upr window is not capable of of sliding back. rarely used and suddenly doesn't work.
Ford f150 recall #18n03 where the door latch can freeze not allowing the door to close or not allowing the door to open. west hurr ford of rochester ny told me they would not perform the recall until the door latch actually froze. my concern is that i travel fro new york to pa a lot and if it freezes when i am in pa i would be stranded until a dealer could fit me in to fix.
F150 vista moonroof frame has fractured 3 times. including the original moonroof that was factory installed, i've now had 3 moonroofs (2 replacements) for a broken frame that controls the opening of the moonroof. the issue was noticed because the moonroof rattled during normal driving, and made noises upon opening it. concerned about robustness if moonroof will break again, leak, or stay closed in a collision if the track breaks again.

Water is getting in the truck, wetting and staining the driver side airbag, and coming out of the driver side grab handle, running down the electrical instrument panel. this is most apparent when the vehicle is parked on an incline during a rain storm, with the front of the vehicle lower than the back.
My husband was driving headed south on ih35 near carl's corner texas when a lady pulled up next to him and was flagging him down. he was at exit #374 which was his exit to come home. the lady exited as well and was screaming at him. he then rolled the window down to her saying your trucks on fire. feb 10th 2019 this vehicle caught on fire while driving it. on feb 11th 2019 the dealership that we bought it from towed it to the dealership. it been at the dealership since then so over 5 months at this point. ford has yet to determine what cause the fire except the 4x4 transfer case might be to blame. it has only 36,438 miles on it. so they plan to fix what the fire damaged and give it back to us. me or my husband don't feel safe in that vehicle especially since the cause of the fire is undetermined. this is sad that a car manufacture has so much money the consumer has no rights. we have delayed our payments with ford motor credit for 3 months. now since the dealership is dragging it along with will soon be repoed. we refuse to pay on a vehicle with this serious issue and is unsafe. and it's still in 100's of pieces at the dealership.

Rear window poped or shattered for no reason. there was nothing behind me that could have caused and impact as i was in a boat ramp with only the ocean behind me. when i opened my door to get out i heard a loud pop noise. i looked around and didn't see anything. i got my boat out and when i started loading the truck up i noticed the rear window glass was broken.
The ford new back truck window exploded!! normal morning 85 degrees. have read in u-tube now becoming a common issue with this new ford truck model. we called ford. truck under warranty but ford refuse to do a thing about it. even though so many others owners of the f-150 have had the same issue!!! it was parked as normal. nothing hit it and no stress fractures before window exploded. it just exploded!!
While drive in the rain with the cabin heater on there was a loud noise and then the rear window of my f-150 truck window shattered (it exploded outwards from the inside of the cabin) took the vehicle directly to the dealer to file a claim. after several hours and the dealer contacting the warranty department i was told the damage would not be covered by ford the vehicle only has logged only 14,400 at the time this time and i have an extended warranty on the vehicle
While in motion, i accelerated to pass another vehicle. upon completing the pass, i pumped my brakes to slow down. when i released the brakes, my truck rapidly accelerated and would not stop accelerating, though i had not touched the gas pedal and tried braking several times. the only way i could stop the sudden unintended accelerateion was to put the truck in neutral and brake. even as i did this, the engine continued to tach at high rpms. after turning the vehicle off and on at least twice, the issue finally resolved. the dealer found only 1 code error, showing the high tach, and blamed the floor mat. i can say with 100% certainty, it was not the floor mat.
Drivers side front and rear doors do not close in cold weather. door latches have been replaced with "new version" that was designed after a previous recall. the new latches do not correct the problem and a major safety issue still remains as doors will come open while driving.
Adaptive cruise control engages brakes for no apparent reason. no traffic or obstacle was in front of my vehicle to cause it to engage the brakes at highway speed of 70mph. messages as follows: hill descent control warning illuminated causing brakes to engage 3/14/2018. forward collision warning 3/14/2018. self-parking feature backed my vehicle into a large boulder beside my truck while parking. if it had been a person beside my truck, they could have been seriously injured or killed. happened about february 15, 2018

The black stitching on the leather areas of the dash is turning pink. i believe it is being caused by sun exposure. i contacted the dealer and they have sent pictures twice to ford explaining the problem. they have refused both times to cover this under warranty, stating it was caused from harsh chemicals being used in cleaning. i have never cleaned the dash, only dusted it with a clean cloth. i purchased this truck december 9, 2017. i noticed this and reported it to the dealer february 9, 2018.

I own a 2017 f150 5.0 liter v8 with 10,700 miles purchased new this year.the braking system failed while driving. the brake pedal lost the resistance and depressed all if the way to the floor, failing to stop the vehicle. the brake pedal would return back to the normal position when released. this happened intermittantly on secondary roads for about 25 miles before failing consistently. the brake pedal would then depress completely to the floor board until released. no warning lights or alarms activated. the brakes would function partially and abnormally but required the driver to 'pump' the brake pedal to maintain proper pedal resistance and would bring the vehicle to a stop. it was taked to the dealership where it was purchasd and the master cylinder was said to be leaking and was replaced under warrenty repair.
Driving down road in new truck. turned on rear defrost and 4-5 minutes later, the back windows explode and a burning smell came up.

Roof of truck had bad paint corrosion, like something was under it when painted. primer showing through. was not noticed at time of buying as we weren't on a ladder to see the roof.
The auto shut off system when you stop when the break is applied. there is no way to permanently shut this system off. you can hit a button each time you start the vehicle, in the manuel it does stat you can turn it off but doing as it states does not turn it off permanently. when needing to take off quickly or if you need to make a turn when the vehicle turns off the steering wheel is hard to turn so you need to let up off the break. there needs to be a way for the owner to shut this button off permanently if they so choose. i don't see where this turning the engine off and on all the time is saving fuel and good on the starter.
I rear ended another vehicle at around 35mph. the front airbags deployed. within 2 minutes we noticed that the truck was on fire. the fire originated at the bottom of the driver side b pillar. myself, one witness, and one law enforcement officer all saw where the fire started. the truck front and cab were totally burned up within 5 minutes. no one was hurt due to the fire.
