Default New guy with a dumb question

New here, and a new 2013 FX4. I have been a Super Duty guy until I saw this new truck and fell in love. I love everything about this new F150, but I have one question which may or may not be a problem.

When I unlock the truck with the keyfob, the very first time I go to open the drivers door, I have to pull the door handle a second time before the door opens. Is this a problem, or some dumb feature I am not aware of??

First: welcome to the forum!

Second: Beautiful truck you got there!

Third: I've heard of a few people having that same problem, not sure if they ever found a fix, but it's not supposed to happen.. Unless mine was deprived of it lol.. Sorry I couldn't answer for sure, but I had to comment about your truck!!

Trade trucks? Soo sexy..

Third: Only my interior handle does this but I've heard of it happening. Has something to do with the latch that may or may not need to be replaced. Worth getting looked at if it bothers you, but mine does not do it.

This is not normal. Go get it looked at. If you search around you will see others complaining about the same issue. Some had actuators replaced and others an adjustment was made.

My 2013 Lariat did this. Dealer service dept. put a new lock actuator on it and it hasn't done it since.
