[mperezkr]

same, i just close my door last so that'll i'll be the one slamming it. pressure doesn't allow it close softly. or you can open a window until all doors are close.

UPDATE: Today I took my Ranger back the 44 mi to the selling dealer to have them look at the door. They do not have a body shop but took a video of the door closing problem to send to Ford. They then sent me to a local bodyshop they use. The guys there were very good and spent about 10 minutes adjusting the striker and got it to move just enough for the latch to properly work without slamming the door.

Happy that the number one issue I had with the truck looks to be solved. Now if they could just make the electronics easier to find what I’m looking for I’d be 100% Satisfied.

I took my Ranger Raptor to the closet dealer to my house, Hudson Ford, and they opened and closed it about 10 times with about 7 the door did not close properly. This dealer is owned by Lithia, which just recently purchased it. Things seemed to changed when they asked me where I purchased it. I told them they didn’t have any and I purchased it elsewhere. They said there’s nothing wrong with it, but didn’t try the other doors like I asked them to.

pretty obvious that they don’t want to work on it if they didn’t sell it. They also add a LoJack at $500 to all new and used vehicles they sell. Looks like they are just turning into someone I don’t want to do business with.

Ford has started a case on my truck and I am taking it to the selling dealer on June 6 but they don’t have a body shop. I’ll wait and see what they say, but at this point I might just end up taking it to my cousins shop and pay him to fix it.

Ugh. I also purchased my RR elsewhere and Hudson Ford is my home dealer. I am really disappointed to hear that they turned into that.
The only door that I have trouble with is my back driver's side, but I just open my driver's door first and then close the back. It's fine then.
My hood does need to be slammed to shut.

I also have the door closing issue. I was content to live with it until this morning. I started to get in the truck this morning and noticed a 4 inch section of weather stripping in the cad on the drivers side just above the door latch was light gray not black. Turns out the door is misaligned enough that it deformed and tore the weather strip. They took pictures and ordered the part without question. When it comes in I'll ask about getting the door adjusted. My dealer no longer has a body shop either.

I also have the same issue with front driver door and hood. I'm assuming @Ford Motor Company saying this is not spec?

Are you still experiencing this concern with your driver door and hood? If so, I would like to look into it on my end. Please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer.
