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.

My upholstery of the drivers seat was worn out, so I had it replaced. When the mechanic pulled off the old upholstery, he found that the seat frame was broken in two places. I was then told by the service writer that this is a safety issue and that they are required to NOT release my vehicle back to me, due to the severity of the safety of the driver. He told me that the seat could break loose from the truck in event of a collision. - I have saved the damaged component - There was no indication or warning that this component failed

DOOR LATCHES FREEZE DURING COLD WEATHER. CAN NOT OPEN DOORS OR CAN NOT GET DOORS TO CLOSE ONCE OPENED. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAMS PREFORMED. DEALER HAS NO OTHER FIX OPTIONS AVAILABLE FROM FORD. ALL 2015 F150'S EXPOSED TO COLD CLIMATES HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR DOOR LATCHES TO FREEZE. FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITH DOOR OR DOORS UNABLE TO CLOSE AT TIMES. I DON'T THINK A RATCHET STRAP HOLDING DOORS CLOSED IS SAFE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING FOR THE PAST THREE WINTERS. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN THE LATCHES WILL OR WILL NOT WORK.
