Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Fiesta. The contact stated that the driver's side door failed to close. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage and VIN were not available.

Rear passenger side door lock opened by itself after parking car and activating the lock button. I pushed door trying to close multiple times and did not close. I opened all doors, started the car and kept trying to close door, did not close back. I was driving with my kids in the rear seat, very unsafe and scary situation. I tied up the door to driver's seat to get home and search online for help. Since then the door does not close at all.

We have had our Ford Fiesta in on three separate occasions to have the door latch replaced. The door flies open while driving my nephew almost fell out of the car. The just replace it with the same defective parts. The transmission has not shifted properly since we bought it new and the my sync has never worked. This is the worst car we have ever had .

Passenger got out when parked, closed door, door did not latch. Door finally latched after multiple attempts. Later tried to investigate problem, looks like cheap plastic door latch has failed. Again got door to latch after multiple attempts. Service appointment made, door will be tied shut enroute. Many complaints, some while vehicle was moving, no manufacturer action. Thanks Ford, does someone have to die before you recall this? a child maybe?.

On August 8th, the driver's door would not latch. The latch was replaced at the dealer ($450). On September 5th, the front passenger side door stopped latching. We called 5 local dealers before we could find one that had the part as we were told it was on national backorder. When we were able to locate a dealer with the part, we were told that it was reserved for the service department only. If we wanted to be placed on the waiting list to purchase it to have installed elsewhere, we would be #7 on the waiting list. The problem appears identical to the issue that resulted in the escape recall in may: the second case covers about 692,700 escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the suvs are in motion.

After driving three miles from home early in the morning, I opened my drivers door and closed to leave, but the door wouldn't close. It bounced open. The latch would not work. I took it to the dealer, they said they'd never seen that before. The latch needed to be replaced. After three days they got the part and fixed it. I picked it up on a Saturday and the next morning the two rear doors broke. Both did the same thing. I took back to the dealer, who said again that he'd never seen anything like it. He told me that he'd have to find out how long it would be to get the parts. This is obviously an issue. The dealer said the parts were on back order from Ford and that it wouldn't be in until the end of August. I asked to have the final front passenger side door replaced as well and he said they couldn't do it unless Ford recalled the parts or it was broken. I explained that this was a huge safety issue and that there was obviously something wrong. I also called Ford, and spoke to their customer service. A manager there said they couldn't have the dealer replace the last door unless it breaks. I guess I should hope that I'm not driving when it does. This needs to be recalled. I have seen a lot of other complaints for the same issue.

The passenger rear door was opened using the outside door handle. After trying to close the door, it would not close and kept bouncing open. After inspecting the latch, it was found out that it was not in the closed or latched position. The "plastic" latch was in the open position and when it was placed into the closed or latched position, it would not latch and just pop open. If this "plastic" latch would have broken while the car was moving one of my children could have fallen out of the moving vehicle. A "plastic" door latch on a "metal" catch is a safety violation. Plastic striking metal every time the door is open and closed is not very Smart because the plastic will always break, as it has in my vehicle.
