 Description of the problemI bought my f150 in the late summer of 2015. During the winter of 2015 to 2016 my f150 was garaged with no issues. During the winter of 2016 to 2017 my f150 was not in the garage and during the months of december the front and rear passengers doors locks would not open and or close. It was my option that a automatic starter would help because the truck would be able to heat up and the doors would open and close properly (hopefully). From previous experiences, after the truck warms up the automatic locks worked. Unfortunately the automatic starter did not help. The truck would run around 25 to 35 minutes before the locks would unlock properly but the locking mechanism would not lock the door after being closed and other times the locking mechanism did lock the doors when closed. The last straw was the door locking mechanism was locked and my kids were in the back seat driving down our driveway to the bus stop and as i stopped the left rear door opened on its own. I exited the truck and tried to reclose the door but the door would not latch closed. I brought the truck back to a locale dealership and explained the problem regarding the locking mechanism. It was also noted that during our conversations that i have had a few times that the window washing fluid would not work. It was mentioned that there is a tsb issued regarding the two problems happening in cold weather. The dealership has had my 2015 f150 since january 16th 2017 because the parts are on back order. The pickup is not safe to drive with the doors not being able to be secured in cold weather. If there was an accident you can potentially be trapped in your vehicle if the locks don't automatically unlock as designed. After reading so much material on line regarding all the complaints on the frozen door locking mechanism, why ford has not recalled the pickup considering how dangerous this is concerns me.
