Safety recall 17S33 has been completed on my 2017 F150. The truck is not driven that much, and this year has been unusually cold. My door latches have been freezing again making it impossible to close the door. In some cases, you don't know until the door just flies open. Several times now I have had to drive down the road holding the door/doors closed until the latches decide to thaw enough to actuate. I contacted Ford and was told that the repair was only warrantied for 2 years. A quick search online and there is a multitude of owners still having this issue. This is unacceptable for a life-threatening Safety defect that the manufacture has known about and is too cheap to correct the problem permanently.

I have an invoice regarding multiple leaks on the engine, and loud rattling noise from the cam phasers. This engine is notorious to have these leaks from every forum I have read. It doesn’t seem to have a mileage relation either. The problem I have with this is that these leaking components can leak fast enough for a customer to not notice and can lose lubrication within the engine leading to premature wear and tear. The cam phasers have been revised but should all be replaced. If the cam phasers are in charge of timing control and valve train manipulation and if they fail they could throw the engine out of timing and cause a massive malfunction, bent valves, connecting rods, damaged pistons etc. this needs to be addressed as it is a lengthy and expensive repair. This effects all ecoboost engines. After multiple online chats, phone calls and 6 emails, ford is not willing to budge and help their customers with this issue and offer any compensation. Also, I had the oil pan replaced 2 years and 5 months ago due to it leaking. I think this stems from it being made of a plastic compound. Oil gets hot and cold and the weather in Minnesota changing so rapidly causes this to fail so early.

Paint is peeling and falling off due to a manufacturer defect and causing a driving hazard.
