On 3-22-02 at night, parked, I tried to unlock the right rear door at the same time that the passenger attempted to open the door. The plastic door handle made a cracking noise and the door handle apeared to be looser than before without the tight return to original position. The door opened and closed properly. I did not think this was a priority repair so waited until my spring break the next week. On 3-27-02 I had the rear right door opened, I closed it and drove off. Within half a block the door swung opened at a stop light and a passing motorist told me about it before I drove off. I closed the door and proceeded down the hill, within 3 blocks the door swung opened again. I checked the handle and found it popped out into an open position. I forced it back into place, there was a similar cracking noise to that made when the original damage was caused. I drove immediately to the nearest Ford dealership where an appointment was made for 3-29-02. I did not carry anyone in the back seat until the repair was completed. The service order described the repair as, "removed right rear door panel-replaced inner handle-broken & out of position in ratchet assembly-retest-ok. The dealership treated this as a warranty repair. I am concerned that this is not a fluke accident, as the locks automatically engage when the car is put into gear, and unlocking the rear door at night would be a common occurrence. Passangers could be at risk, especially small children.

When car is engaged in gear the door locks should lock. The don't. I took the vehicle into Ford and they replaced the fuse the first time, as they were testing it they blew 2 more fuses. They then replaced the 2nd and told me it would be ok. When I got home tonight the back passenger door would not unlock the other 3 doors did. Now none of the door will lock or unlock with the remote or with the button inside the car.
