| Description of the problem | Bottom latch in rear door, passenger side (supercab) would not latch shut during a cold spell, causing a warning notification while driving that the rear door was open. I pulled on bottom of door and verified that the door was not latched and it would move a significant amount. Ford is aware of this and there is a ford ssm that only dealers can see on this issue (#46260). This is a safety issue and should be a recall as i had my daughter next to this door. Many others are experiencing the same issue. Only a matter of time until someone falls out a door. What happens is moisture is running down the doors and onto the latches. It then freezes on the latch, causing them not to function properly. This especially happens after going through a car wash on a very cold day or after a rain event and then the temperature drops. Also, during the same time my front doors would not open even though the door handle would fully move. The latches internal to the door were frozen due to moisture. Ford is also aware of this issue and issued tsb 16-0155 to install rain guards above the latches. |
