| Description of the problem | Driver door of 2016 ford f150 will not latch when closing. Problem primarily occurs after vehicle has been in use. After opening the door, the door will not latch in a secure position when attempting to close. Will occasionally latch when pressing the unlock button after opening. Driver can be inside the cab or outside the vehicle and problem occurs either way. I have contacted my local ford dealer and service center and they were not familiar with this issue. Operator has not been able to replicate the problem on any of the other doors - just the driver door. Vehicle is a supercrew model. Problem occurs when operator has truck off, opens the door, gets in vehicle, attempts to shut door (doesn't latch), starts vehicle and re-attempts (still doesn't latch), and will even occur with vehicle shifted into "d" (drive) and re-attempts (still doesn't latch). This owner and operators opinion that this is a safety issue as other operators may not realize that the door has not latched and may be putting vehicle into motion with an open/unlatched door. |
