This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle is stationary and when the passenger door is unlocked with the key fob the tailgate fails down. When the driver exits the vehicle the tailgate falls down. By falls down I mean the tailgate on the pickup is closed and in the vertical position and the only way to open the tailgate is with the key fob. The tailgate fob is depressed and the tailgate opens (falls down) automatically. Only the tailgate controls are incorrectly opening the tailgate when the passenger door is opened with the key fob or when you get in the back doors. Also after driving the truck when opening the drivers door the tailgate drops down. If a child or adult happens to be behind the truck the can get hurt.
2018 F150 mfg date Oct 2017- freezing door locks in cold weather (<30F) the locks on the door do not open...or if they do, and the door opens it will not latch securely. The doors have flown open as I've gone around corners...when I thought they were closed. Took to dealer yesterday, they are trying to replicate issue. They told me that Ford has yet to really come up with a fix for this issue. There is a safety recall on some models but not my specific VIN yet it has exactly the same behavior as earlier models.
In cold weather the door latches freeze causing the doors to remain unlatched. This caused my rear doors to fly open when I went around a corner. There was a recall but it doesn't cover the 2018 model year. My truck was made in Oct 2017, and I took delivery in mid Dec 2017. The dealer will inspect, but as yet Ford doesn't appear to have a fix for the issue.
