| Description of the problem | Since 2015 ford has had an issue with the door locks not latching in cold weather. I have owned my vehicle for a month and a half and have taken it in for service twice now for the same issue. Moisture gets into the locking mechanism and then freezes. After opening the door there is no way of closing it as latches do not grab again or on the other hand they don't release. Twice now i have been out and about and had doors that would not latch. I had to drive around with my 18 month old son's door held closed with a ratchet strap to be able to get home safely. This is a major safety issue and ford needs to solve this. |
