Trunk Lid Lock problems of the 2003 Ford Focus

Rear latch malfunctions. Registers that trunk is shut when it is not and not when it is. While going over speed bump trunk pops open due to latch not hitching properly.

After a month of owning the vehicle I was getting water in my trunk. Brought it to dealer and they replaced the license plate lighting devise and repaired the rust. A month later same problem. Brought it back and they did the same thing. Now it is happening again but warranty is up.

Trunk latch failed to work, unable to close trunk once open and unable to open trunk once closed. Car was in for service for the 2nd time for this problem, ordering new trunk latch mechanism from Ford motor company to replace. Service department stated part was defective.

After Ford bought back my 2002 lemon and exchanged it for a 2003, the trunk latch broke on the car. The trunk opened on its own while driving. It is currently in for repair.
