![]() ![]() I call this a bandage and not a solution. The dealer has suggested spraying lubricant inside the doors by removing the inside trim and hopefully by doing this removes all moisture. I see this as a Safety issue and also as a Theft issue. I e-mailed Ford Canada yesterday and we will have to wait and see what they say! The dealer informs me this problem has been happening on the 20 Ford F150 trucks so it is nothing new to them. It tends to repeat itself with the colder weather. All the door locks including the tailgate are not unlocking or locking correctly once the colder weather has arrived. We have a 2016 Ford F150 XLT - XTR SUPERCREW FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH THE 5.0 Liter engine. I think that Ford should exercise more quality control at the various plants and even make a recall for this problem. It will take at least 8 hours to fix all the doors. ![]() In order to fix the problems on warranty, my dealer has to order new rain guard, the door locking rod and other parts. The water if you wash you truck or the snow that melts down the window will go directly on the mechanism to unlock the door and freeze the door mechanism. The problem with this issue is that depending on the manufacturing Ford plant where the truck was manufactured, some plants have forgot to install the rain guard inside the rear doors. Although my local Ford dealer has ordered all the new parts to fix the problems with these rear doors, it is still annoying. Today ( ) the temperature came down to -12C which is not that cold for southern Ontario, Canada. This is the third time it has happened in December 2016. Because of the large console in the middle on the front seats and the high rise back portion of the front seats, it is very difficult to access the rear portion of the truck. As soon as the temperature become below zero, freezing point, the rear doors will not unlocked either electronically or manually by pulling directly on the locking button. This 2016 Ford F-150 is relatively new that I purchased brand new in May 2016. The rear doors will not open when it is cold outside ![]()
