| Description of the problem | I have an extended cab 2015 f-150 pick up truck. The rear suicide doors do not latch closed which leaves the front seat belt attachment unattached to the car whatsoever. I took the truck to ed shults ford in jamestown, ny and they determined the rear door latch cable is stretching out which keeps the door from latching. This is happening on a 3 year old truck. The dealer also informed me that they see this several times a week on other f-150's with the extended cab rear suicide doors. No recall or tsb has been issued so they are charging me to fix the cable and latch. This is a huge safety concern for me. The doors need to latch, how long will this "fix" last for? The truck is 3 years old, i should not need to replace door cables on the inside of the door ever, let alone within 3 years from being produced. The door cable is internal to the door and not affected by swinging the door open. I am asking for ford to address the safety concern and provide all customers with a safe, long term fix for this door latch mechanism on 2015 f-150's with rear suicide doors. |
