Thank you sir. Mine were tightened all the way down for some reason. I guess the mechanic didn't pay attention to that. I only noticed it because the back door lock posts stick up a lot, and I though it was odd the front door lock posts did not.

My 2018 F150 rcsb 5.0 4x was purchased 11/1/18 it just hit 1k miles as I have very short commute. In Nov. Seattle had some high 20* weather drivers door would not stay shut until truck was run for about 15min. to heat cab up. Last couple weeks here in Seattle again snow and 20* weather, again door no worky... My fix Bought a 19 year old Toyota truck with 180k miles for $1k so I had something dependable for driving to work and get more then 12mpg. The doors work great, no funny engine noises, tranny shifts great, heats up twice as quick on cold mornings win win for me. Busy work schedule has kept me from dropping truck off at dealers, but what are they going to do....

Well crap. Id posted a few times my doors seemed fixed. After rain and freezing temps and a car wash. They worked great until this morning. My drivers door froze and i had bounce back. It quickly warmed up and started working. Don't beat up on me to bad 
. But i called my dealer they said let me see what we are supposed to do now. Im going to keep the ball in their court for now. I understand many are having great luck with the ghetto fix. And i might end up going that route.
Bummed for sure!

Definitely does not work
I brought my 18 Screw in yesterday for service and it took all day. Went to pick it up this morning and I couldn't get in it. Dealer said they will order new cables.

Mine has been in shop multiple times even tried the ghetto fix, that just made a mess. Nothing worked until the latest TSB. I have tried everything to get them to freeze short of holding the handle open an pouring water in the door. They seem to work just fine now. My auto-fold mirrors froze last night first time ever so I was shocked that my doors weren't frozen this morning.

Hang in there... the CAN Be fixed. Crazy Winter here in STL with cold temps, Snow, Sleet, Snain... and so for, my doors have worked wonderfully. Although, it can be annoying to have to take off my nice warm heavy winter glove to get the door to unlock when I touch it.

Sooo... I normally don't work on Saturdays but on the 9th I covered for one of my coworkers. Left work and drove to the laser wash, temp was about 28°F and sunny. Woke up the next morning and my driver's door refused to unlock! Slid across the seat and decided to see if the door would open from the inside which it did, and it also closed just fine. By mid-morning it had thawed and all was good so I chalked it up to my washing it when it was below freezing. All last week everything worked fine... until this past Sunday when the same thing happened, my driver's door wouldn't unlock, only this time I hadn't washed it the day before as the weather was crappy the day before. I'm going to let this slide seeing as spring is almost here but I will be keeping an eye on this.
