Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While coming off of an exit my right front passenger door flew open and I was almost in an accident because it frightened me as another car behind me had to brake as well to avoid hitting me from the back. I read up on this car and there is information statin the there are problems with the door lock/latches where you think your door is lock and it is not. Now I try yo close it, the door will not lock at all. …”

NHTSA complaint #11228541, filed 2019-06, 107,000 miles

“Passenger rear door latch would not properly interlock, meaning door wouldn't stay shut. This happened in a stationary position when I opened the door to get a passenger out then I went to close the door, having the door bounce back to me. To note: a recent recall was administered due to faulty latches and I had it replaced at Ford in feb 2016... 8 months later issue resurfaced, not cool.”

NHTSA complaint #10915163, filed 2016-10, 74,967 miles

“Door latch recall. Last month (july 2016) the front passenger door of my 2013 Ford fusion flew open while we were driving. It would not close. We later learned Ford has recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles, including 2013 Ford fusions for this exact problem. We were told our VIN was not included in the recall. We had no option but to pay the nearly $500 cots of replacing the faulty door latch. Now, only one month later (august 2016), the rear driver side door of my car flew open and would not close, again due to a faulty door latch. …”

NHTSA complaint #10896457, filed 2016-08, 59,000 miles

“Ford door latch recall - having issues with door latches for my Ford Fusion Hybrid that were replaced during a recall (by another dealer). Issues have started since the recall, with excessive vibration of the doors, door ajar indicator coming on during motion and latest rear passenger door not closing , which have been brought up with my current dealer I have been working (with Ford thru) my current dealer for a number of months and finally had the front passenger door latch changed a couple of months back because of excessive door vibration and door ajar indicator coming on couple of weeks…”

NHTSA complaint #11033951, filed 2017-10, 50,060 miles

“Door latches were recalled and replaced march 2016, driver side door latch then failed beginning of april 2017 (one year and one week after they were replaced). It appears Ford's fix to the original recall was not a good one. Because it was more than one year past the replacement, I was made to pay for this.”
