“I went to pick up my nephews from their babysitter this weekend and when I was driving back home the back door behind the passenger seat swung open. Keep in mind I had two little kids in the back freaking out I slowly made my way to the side of the freeway. I haven't been able to close it so we had to disconnect the battery so it wouldn't die. Arizona is a very hot state but I do not feel safe driving my car because I'm scared that the other doors will do the same thing. Ford needs to fix this problem immediately.”
NHTSA complaint #11323462, filed 2020-05, 43,418 miles“The driver's side rear door would not shut and latch properly after being opened. I had to drive seven miles with the door jerry rigged shut with rope. The door was stationary when it failed to latch closed. The consumer stated the front passenger door latch was broken. The door would not remain shut and locked.”
