“I purchased my vehicle used in oct 2018 and was informed it had an open recall item for 16s30-door latch. Allegedly the recall item was closed for my vehicle in march 2018, however Ford's system did not register the recall closure until jan 2019. In oct 2019 my passenger door began becoming unlatched while vehicle was in motion. The door became unlatched on 5 separate occasions in the time frame between 14 oct 2019 to 25 nov 2019. The first four instances I was traveling approximately 15 MPH on a highway, and the last instance I was traveling about 40 MPH on a county road. …”
NHTSA complaint #11282264, filed 2019-11, 51,000 miles“Back in 2019 I took my car to Legacy Ford in McDonough Georgia to get the recall issue for my door fixed. Someone told my husband that it was fixed. I'm riding in my jobs parking lot and the door fly's open. The door will not close. When I called Legacy the guy was not concerned and told me that the recall issue was not fixed. He told me that I could bring my car in on Monday. I have to work and need the issue resolved. I will be contacting an attorney on this.”
NHTSA complaint #11462784, filed 2022-04“The doors on both passenger and drivers side keep unlatching while driving. it happens quite often, 4 times this week on one 200 miles trip. I took it to the dealer who said the locking mechanisms were faulty. The dealer replaced both of them $1200.00. My question is: there was a recall on this problem involving several years including 2015. But my car was not included even though it obviously has the same problem. Is there anything that can be done to cover an obvious safety hazard?”
NHTSA complaint #11507269, filed 2023-02“Driving in town when the front passenger window began to continually drop about half inch and close again. When I got onto the highway the front passenger door unlatched and the 'door open' alert displayed. This happened several times during one driving trip. I stop and reclose the door and take off again. This has happened several times during different driving trips. In the meantime the window continues to go up and down. That tells me that the door in not latching properly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11434387, filed 2021-09“The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the passenger’s side door opened inadvertently.
