1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2017

Rear door locks appear to be jammed or permanently locked. Will not unlock with power locks or manually. This happened randomly out of nowhere. My drivers side door handle also broke so I am only able to use one door on my vehicle right now. The rear doors will not open from inside or outside hence why I said they appear to be jammed for no reason. This is a huge safety concern if I were to be in an accident and get locked inside my car.

2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2017

Rear doors are jammed or stuck on lock, for no reason. Power locks will not unlock them and doing so manually does not work either. These doors cannot be opened from the inside nor the outside. My child locks are not on. I also keep my car dust free and lubricated. This could be a huge safety concern if I were to get into an accident and were to be locked in my car. My car should be able to be unlocked and locked whenever I please and whenever is needed. The fact that I cannot even unlock them manually is dangerous.

3 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2016

The back doors have locked, and cannot be unlocked with the key fob, lock button or manually.

4 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2015

The back door looks stay locked, you can no longer unlock with key pod nor manually on the inside. Back seat is useless to me now. I have tried various things like changing fuses seeing if I could force unlock. But I don't use child safety locks so don' t think that is issue.

5 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2014

2009 Ford Focus 4 door, the driver side door will not open from outside. The door locks do not work all the time and you will get locked in and have to crawl over the seats to get out. The problem is that there is only one key hole on the driver side but it does not unlock the other doors so you cannot get in since the door only opens from the inside if it is unlocked. You cannot manually unlock the front doors but you can crawl over the seats and pull up the rear door locks or climb out the windows. Ford has not issued a recall on this and I see several people with the same problem. This is very dangerous especially if there is an accident and you cannot get the doors open. I guess it will take a death before Ford will do something about it. My son has to keep the doors unlocked so he can get into a passenger door and open the inside latch to get into his car. I got locked in and had to crawl over the front seats to get out since I thought he was joking. We have the door panel off and door lock assembly out so now I am on the hunt for repair parts. The handle seems to be in working order but the latch is not. We lubed it but it keeps locking up and you cannot open it up to see what's wrong with it. I think Ford wants people to spend a fortune to fix the problem or just buy a new car that you can't afford.
