DOOR LATCH STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY WHILE CAR WAS IN PARK WITH NO HARSH HANDLING OF THE DOOR WHATSOEVER. DOOR WAS BEING CLOSED GENTLY WHEN IT BOUNCED BACK WHICH IS WHEN WE REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT LATCHING OR CLOSING AT ALL. CAR WAS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. I BELIEVE THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY, AND THERE MIGHT BE MECHANICS THAT ARE NOT WORKING FOR THE LATCH.

LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH FAILED, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. THE LATCH MECHANISM IS INOPERATIVE NOW AND THE DOOR MUST BE HELD CLOSED USING CARGO STRAPS THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW AND OVER THE ROOF AND BACK THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FRAME. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS ISSUE ADVISING THEM THAT THE 2012 FIESTA HAS A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR GARY DAVIS @ NORTH CENTRAL FORD 972-231-3491 THAT THE EXISTING RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE AND THAT I SHOULD COME IN TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRING THE VEHICLE.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON 04/18/2017, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S16 ON JANUARY 2016 REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT STATED: "IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE PAWL SPRING TAB INSIDE ONE OR MORE OF THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES IN THE VEHICLE TO BREAK, PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM LATCHING". THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED TO ME TODAY ON 04/18. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, I CONTACTED A FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE KANSAS CITY METRO AREA WHERE I WAS LIVING AND THEY STATED THAT PARTS WERE SO BACK ORDERED AND "TO TRY AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS". AS LIFE MOVED ON, I PUT THIS ON THE BACKBURNER AND RELOCATED TO OMAHA, NE FOR A NEW JOB. TODAY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN REGARDING THIS CONCERN AND THEY APPEAR TO BE REPLACING THE FAILURE OF THE LATCHING MECHANISM, BUT DID NOT HAVE PARTS IN STOCK AND DID NOT OFFER A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER REPAIR AS THE WARRANTY NOTICE IMPLIES. I SHARE THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS THAT DO NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT THE FAILURE OF MY DOOR LATCH TODAY DID NOT INJURE ANOTHER MOTORIST OR CAUSE INJURY, BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU IT MADE ME QUESTION THE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE WHICH IN WHICH I THOUGHT I COULD PLACE MY TRUST. IF ANYONE ELSE IS AFFECTED BY THIS MULTI-MILLION VEHICLE RECALL, PLEASE DO NOT DELAY OR ALLOW FORD DEALERSHIPS TO STALL ON REPAIRING THIS CRITICAL FAILURE THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS.

THIS IS THE SECOND DOOR LATCH I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN TWO YEARS. I HAD ALL OF THE DOOR LATCHES REPLACED IN SEP 2015 ACCORDING TO THE RECALL FROM FORD. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED TO LATCH AGAIN ON 4/8/2017. THE DEALER AND FORD ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS LATCH AND I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR THE NEW LATCH REPLACEMENT. THEY STATED THAT I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE AND THEY REPAIRED THE DOOR LATCH, THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BROKEN I AM REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE DOOR LATCH PROBLEM OCCURRED. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR SHUT AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.

EARLY NOV. WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, AND WHILE ENTERING THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR THE LATCH STUCK SO THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ALL WERE ON DIFFERENT DOORS. THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES WERE THE DOORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE GRAND PRAIRIE FORD FOR REPAIRS. THE SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR ANY DOORS THAT WERE NON-OPERATIONAL. OUR RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME WE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME REPAIR, AND THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THAT ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD BE REPAIRED. WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS AND IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT TWO WEEKS. IT IS NOW TWO AND ONE HALF MONTHS LATER. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING ON PARTS TO COME IN. SEVERAL TIMES WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN DATES THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE ONLY TO BE TOLD A NEW DATE WHEN THIS DOES NOT OCCUR.

SEVERAL RECALLS FOR DIFFERENT PARTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE ALL THE TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY WITHOUT NOTICE AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. GO UP HILLS THE TRANSMISSION HAS CUT OUT BEFORE AND THEN SHOT FORWARD AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. DOOR LATCHES CAN AND WILL COME OPEN ALLOWING FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

MY DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AND IS CURRENTLY DUCT TAPED SHUT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE FORD SAYS THAT MY DOORS MAY OPEN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THERE IS A NOTICE OF A RECALL OUT BUT, I CAN'T GET MY DOOR FIXED BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTS. HOWEVER, I WAS STILL NEVER OFFERED A RENTAL OR ANY OTHER FORM OF HELP ON THIS MATTER FROM FORD. I SPOKE TO THEM ON THE PHONE AND EMAILED THEM AND MY CAR IS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTER RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED A SOLUTION. ALSO, I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I DRIVE A MANUAL AND WHEN I GO TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, ETC. IT WILL OFTEN GRIND. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT INTO EITHER FIRST GEAR AND REVERSE. LAST OCTOBER (2014), THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SO FORD REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES THOUGH SO IN MAY OF 2015 I FINALLY EMAILED FORD BUT I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. NOW, WITH MY DOOR NOT SHUTTING I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES. MY CAR IS AT THE SERVICE CENTER NOW, BUT FORD HAS SAID THEY DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT DOESN'T GRIND EVERY TIME I PUT IT INTO FIRST BUT IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO GET IT INTO FIRST GEAR. THIS MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS TO TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.
