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.

Latch on back door of driver's side unlocked while vehicle was in motion. Stopped vehicle and door would not stay closed. Tied broken door across to door at back of passenger's side. Started vehicle. Latch on back door of passenger's side unlocked while in motion. Second door would not stay closed. Brought car to Ford dealership. Dealer reported that door parts were "defective" and would not be covered under warranty. Had to purchase new door latches and get them installed for $1,000. Major safety issue. I was lucky I had no passengers!!!!! doors unlatched while in motion!.

The rear door suddenly would not latch. I tried everything and it won't stay shut. I talked to two dealers and they say that unfortunately they don't have the parts and my vehicle is out of warranty this month.

As I was pulling out of the driveway and started driving down the street my front passenger door flew open only to find the door latch to be broken. When the door wont close the lights stay on resulting in a dying battery. Extremely inconvenient and unsafe. This happened again one month later and each time the part was on a national backorder.

Rear passenger door of my 2012 Ford Fiesta will no longer close. The latch appears to be broken, as I can manually manipulate the latch but it does not latch when the door is closed. Luckily the latch broke after I had parked the vehicle, since children were riding in the back seat directly before the latch broke. I now have to keep the door closed via bungee cord. The door simply swings open while driving if the door is not held closed by the bungee cord. I no longer feel safe allowing anyone, especially children, to ride in the back seat of the vehicle since the door is not at all stable.

Rear door latch stopped working. Door will not stay shut at all. I have to tie its' handle across the back seat to the opposite door handle.

While trying to close the front passage door, the electrical door lock actuator fail to engage. I tried to close the door several times but couldn't . I tried to active the automatic door lock system on the dash broad but couldn't and the system displayed passage front door open. I contacted the dealer and they stated "I should have this fixed" and suggested to keep the door closed with a rope or bungee cord, which is unlawful in this state. I'm thank full this happen while the car was parked, but what if I was driving and the door disengaged causing an accident or hitting a person, object or another car. Food company should look into the cause for the malfunction of the electrical door lock actuator.
