I literally had to turn the heat on high hood the door closed for 30 minutes to get it warm enough to latch and stay shut. This is usually following a car wash within a 7 day span. I am not sure how there cannot be a recall for this. Everyone that I know with an F150 has had the same issues.

Tailgate keeps falling down while traveling down the road. This has happened several times. This time after it hit the trailer after backing it up at the end of the trip.
The tailgate on my truck has opened while driving down the road. This has happened several times since I have owned the truck. There are several recalls for 2018 F 150 tailgate issues. I have taken it to the Ford dealer, but was told there is no recall on trucks in my VIN range.
Door lock freezing recall, still freezes. After performing this recall for my door latches freezing, they still freeze. Once I get them open, the door will not latch shut and I would have to drive while holding the door shut until it unfreezes. Forums verify that I am not the only one with doors still freezing after recall. I am confident the recall was performed correctly, but fords fix is not a proper fix and I am still left with frozen door latches in an unsafe vehicle.
The hood latch has failed on my ford F-150. My security system alarms when it happens. It has happened while I have driven and during times when there are changes in temperature. When searching for this, I came across a number of others that have had similar issues with their ford F150/ F250s and Expeditions. I am surprised ford has not recalled it due safety hazard of a failing hood latch. Additionally the main horn has failed. Again searching has found that other people with similar models and years from ford have the same issue with the horn. Both are safety concerns.
Tailgate actuator sometimes does not open completely. Pressin the button engages the operation, I can hear it trying to unlatch, but the tailgate does not completely release. If the tailgate is not in use for awhile, opens as intended for few times.
