Body scratches were repaired on the truck after minor scrapes done while parking vehicle. Passenger side door repaired scrapes and after repaired door would not open from either inside or outside. Repair place sent us to Ford dealer for repair of door latch, then Ford dealer told us it was not covered by recall. Amount charged was $189.99 and we still have problem with an estimate of around $700 for fixing the problem. We were told the latch problem was related to the aging of the latch. This truck is 2016.

We bought our 2016 F150 in 2019. We are not able to latch the driver's door so it is not closed and unable to be driven. There was a recall for this issue but we don't show anything via our VIN number. If it was fixed in a recall, it doesn't work now. What can we do in order to have it fixed?

After a safety recall repair concerning the door latches not securing. The passenger door opened when I took a left turn. I took it back to the dealer that did the repair and the supervisor stated that the mechanic was dismissed after improper repairs were conducted. Every once in a while the door latch does not secure causing the door latch to stay open. Additionally the back left door, under the same recall behaves the same way. It does not engage the door latch mechanism. I brought this to the attention of the repair facility and I was assured that there is nothing wrong with my doors securing to the latch. Yet, there seems to be a problem securing my door. There is no warning from the trucks system that a door is open or unsecured. My 72 year old mother was in the passenger seat when the door opened. Now she won't get into my vehicle for fear of her life. My back left passenger door swung open as I was backing out of my driveway. The dashboard did not indicate the door was open. The problem ONLY first appeared AFTER the safety recall repair was conducted. I have no confidence in my does being secured. The doors opening has happened several times. Since the repair sep 2018. The doors are not dependable and I must sell this truck in order to get my family out of any harm
