Owners/service Manual problems of the 2007 Ford Focus

Rear passenger door no longer locks, either automatically or manually attempting to press the lock latch. Issue is the same with child lock engaged or disengaged. Vehicle is stationary.

The airbag warning light for the driver's side airbag on the dashboard goes on and off and has been doing this for the past couple of years. (I am not sure exactly when it began, since when the light went off, I thought the problem was over) I have had a car repair shop try to fix it several times, but the problem has continued. The warning light comes on and stays on (in every season of the year) when the weather is humid or damp and goes off when the air is drier. The mechanics say the airbag will not deploy when the airbag light is on and that I have to replace the airbag at a cost of around $400. I do not believe it is a takata airbag, but am not sure. Still, it is defective and I think these airbags should be inspected in other Ford Focus models in which they are installed. Also the automatic door lock (locking from the driver's side front door) stopped working for the front passenger's side door more than a year ago. I now have to lock and unlock it manually from the inside, requiring the passenger to wait outside the car while I (driver) get into the car and unlock the passenger side door. This poses a safety issue for the front seat passenger.

Rear drivers side door will not lock. Both the power lock button or trying to lock it manualy do not work. I have been unable to lock the rear door for almost a year now.

This is for a Ford Focus zx5 (4-door hatchback). At 90k miles passenger back door lock assembly broke and had to be replaced. Replaced under extended warranty and cost $90. Now the drivers back door lock is broken. It will not work manually or electronically. My children are able to open the door whether the car in in park or drive since the entire latch and lock assembly needs to be replaced. This is definitely a safety issue. Paid for the door to be checked and the replacement part and labor is approx. $350. Door locks should never fail and in my case both back doors have failed.
