Door Latch Problems of Ford Escort

I had an accident in east grand forks, minnesota on 02/28/06 I was going north on 5th Ave n. E. And t-boned the other vehicle traveling westbound on 10th st n. E. They failed to stop at a stop sign. My air bags did not deploy all the way out they popped out of the steering wheel and dash on the passenger side but the air bag layed in my lap after the accident and vehicles came to a rest I still heard the air bags trying to inflate on impact my drivers door also flew open and my seat belt on the drivers side did not lock I was the only person in the vehicle.

Door handle or lock broken, owner has to open from the outside.

The "wasp" design of the rear door locks make the locks extremely vulnerable to breakage. Exact replacements are very hard to find. When locl plunger is broken off, the passengers in the back seat are trapped in the cat until someone in front releases the electric doorlocks. I do not know if it is at all possible to get back door open with manual door locks.

If there is a movement of the vehicle, forward, if a person is on a grade forward and if a strong wind is coming from the rear forward, the front door will swing open and will hit anything without anyone being able to control it. One must use both hands to securely lock the door. Scc.
