Some Ford F-150 Owners Can Get $400 Back From Ford Over Frozen Door Lock Settlement

My door failed on me around January...closed just enough so the lights ain't on then awesome someone had easy access to my truck and just dug through everything in my truck... Figured that out after a few other cold days...

I have had multiple instances of frozen door lock's but used a hair dryer and hot water to get into my truck or once in she finally be able to close the door because sometimes he would not latch so I have no documentation of repairs

My 2013 F150 started having this problem after car washes in the winter. I sprayed Boeshield T9 into each latch and it seems to have solved the problem. It is waxy and intended to protect metal from corrosion. Was developed by Boeing.

I have a 2013 all my doors have been fucked for 5 yrs but my trk not envolved in lawsuit. Ford is a ripoff

2016 F-150. Been to the dealer 4 times with videos, pictures, etc. I will be calling today and no doubt scheduling my 5th appt. after a lot of grease, etc, still the problem comes back to haunt me. Why Ford won’t admit its the actuator is beyond me ($$$). Being from Buffalo, I chalked it up to winter weather but my records show last year was June and now it’s August, same problem. - locks won’t unlock with eith key fob or door button.

had it fixed twice

Owner of 2018 F-150 crew cab, drivers side door will not open from inside, when first bought new soon after had to hit unlock switch to open door from inside took to Ford dealer they said they fixed it, NOT!! Now it will not open at all from the inside, dealership told me to squeeze the handle real hard to open until backorder part comes in, (NOT AGAIN) still waiting after 4 weeks. Would this be a related problem?

My 2018 Ford F 150 Crew Cab has been in for the repair to all 4 doors during the winter of 2019. As winter has just returned to Alberta my Drivers door has begun to fail again.

I suspect there is a secondary related issue. My 2017 F-150 began getting door ajar warnings at just over 30,000 miles. These can off in the middle of the night setting off the vehicle alarm. First appear on a trip then did not reappear for almost 2 months. Then a few weeks ago it started again. I can be be driving and suddenly the alert appears. If I stop at a light the running boards deploy until I reach 3 MPH when they retract again. I have been sitting still idling while happens repeatedly . Since I get an alert on my Ford app when the alarm goes off I looked for a pattern. It appears to be weather/moisture related. Recently the alarm triggered at temps around 50 degrees. I suspect it first it is condensation and secondly metal contracting. Ford Dealer says it is not freezing so not covered. As I am a month out of warranty they want $500 to replace they latch assembly. If it is condensation then surely it will freeze if left out in freezing weather . Tried all of the spray lubes suggested and the next time we dipped under 50% and that passenger door was opened, it all happened again. Based on the settlement, I should be covered as I have good reason to believe it will freeze.

MY 2013 f150 doors on right side won't open, once before only driver door opened, bought of used lot six months ago. Into their shop twice and worked okay for while. Now no unlock function key fob or either door arm rest unlock function will work. Puzzeled and wondering if ties into door frozen lawsuit that applies to 2015+2020 f 150,? Going to Ford dealer monday in desperation before driver door quits too. That happened once already but guy told me walk around truck and work unlock function on fob. It worked as I passed right forward door wheww! Fob batteries good and neither one will open... Driver door locks okay at moment. Have a nice Thanksgiving!

my rear doors will not open on 2016 f150 they say the latches are not working over 400$ plus tax for each door to be fixed its a 4 year old truck I have 80000 km on this is ridulous they say its not covered on recall or warranty

We have a 2017 Ford Explorer at the shop now, passenger front door won’t lock or unlock. They want to charge $500 at dealership to fix. Does this lawsuit cover all 2017 Fords? We’ve had many issues with this Ford (never experienced issues with our Lexus for more than 10-years). Quite disappointed in Ford. Suggestions?

We just bought a 2018 f150 supercrew. The driver's side rear door lock has frozen up twice on us! How is this not a safety issue? You can be driving down the road and the door fly open. Wake up ford! That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

2018 f150. Has been to dealer every winter since purchase for frozen drivers door latch. Dealer completed tsb multiple times and eventually replaced door latch mechanism. Problem still exists. Just left dealership and am contacting ford customer service for options.

I have a 2018 F-150, have the back doors fixed about a year or so ago, no my front doors are doing the same thing, not locking. I contacted ford dealer about this and they tell me since I am over the 36,000 miles that it is not covered.

2017 F150- Kansas City. I’m not understanding this lawsuit settlement. My door locks have frozen both not to shut and lock me out. Dealer says they’ll order parts.
But this problem has caused major inconvenience and now trips to Dealer. And if I’m reading this right, I might get $10 out of $millions awarded. Awarded to who?

I live in alberta Canada and have had many issues with my doors not closing or opening while driving and not even in extreme cold as it happened in as warm as -5° c. I doubt the dealership even looks at it or changed the parts the said they did. No apologizes or even mention of the class action lawsuits filed against them. We don't have a lemon law like in the states so I am stuck paying 53,000 dollars for a vehicle that I have almost fallen out of several times.

About a year or so ago I asked, at my dealership, about the service bulletin. I was was told there not a problem in Alabama region.
This morning my driver's door would not latch. About 20 degree weather. 2-16-21
Went to my dealership and they said I needed to schedule an appointment. They said they may take two days, since they would have to btalk to the technician to see if he could work on it. Confused,? Me too.

2018 Ford F150

Had the problem this morning, in S GA, we do not get much cold weather here. Will the door latch fix itself when it warms up or will it have to be replaced to work. Driving with a door open is concerning.

We have a 2018 F150, rear door would not open, then when it did, it would not shut, we have had key fob issues, a new computer installed the runs the locks, the rear tail gate was opening on its own, amongst other issues, not happy with truck, but replacement is too expensive as this one is paid off

I have a 2017 F350 with 28,000 miles. Driver door latch was replaced 3 times. They finally fixed it. Now the drivers rear door is doing the latch freezing and my Ford Dealer says they have to fill the door with foam and put sealant on the creases in the door frame above the latch. They said it’s on the TSB sheet. If it fails after that then they say Ford will replace the latch. Is this true? I feel I’m getting pushed around after paying this much for a Truck.?

I’ve had problems with my doors ever since I’ve taken it in for the recall. I have a 2016 F150 platinum. I brought the truck in four times. The last time I just brought it in they told me that the recall had been completed, and it was no longer fords responsibility to fix. I’ve had to use the blow dryer. I’ve had the door locks freeze down had to crawl through other doors to get in. My door is still free shot when the temperature gets around zero. I can’t believe that Ford is not willing to fix the problem.
