Doors not closing
Has anyone else experienced the doors not closing on their new 2016 F150s ?
My drivers side door and passenger side door will not close at times. It's intermittent.
I mean, when you close the door, it just rebounds back open, not catching at all. The only way to fix it is to hold the door in place and lock unlock a few times then it seems to fix it.
Brought it to the dealer, said parts are on order. There was a TSB released for this issue. But it didn't apply to my truck. Funny. Its still a serious issue and obviously it wasn't addressed.
I live in -50C temperatures, not having a door close to inconvenient to say the least.
This topic is covered in other ford f150 forums as well, just looking to see how widespread this is.
I think its time for ford to come out and expose this issue.

ISSUE
Some 2015 F-150 SuperCab and SuperCrew Cab vehicles built on or before 3/25/2015 may exhibit inoperative doorlatches during or after freezing temperatures

Stealer will put you off,
This has a few post on it.
Call the 800 number in your book. They will call the dealer and it will get fixed.
They had mine for two days, but they fixed it.

Now I will say here on the lot if the snow melts off a car (rather than being cleaned off) that sometimes water does get int he latches and re-freeze, causing this situation. Again, not an "issue" other than our guys not doing a great job cleaning up the lot after a snow storm.

I mean seriously? You live in -50C and you've never had any trouble with grease not being as viscous as it is for normal climates? I would assume that you've commonly had to change to different products due to the temps you operate in. I wouldn't call that an "issue".
This is my 4th Ford F-150.
In fact, dealers are aware of this issue as there have been many reports of the problem.New latches are on the way from the manufacturer.
2015 and 2016 F150s models have this problem.
And if you assume yours doesn't have this problem, just wait until the temperatures drop and your driving home with a ratchet strap holding your door closed.
