The hatch on the drivers side door of my Ford Focus 2006 does not function and causes the door to open while I am driving. It has also prohibited me from manually locking the door.

2005 Ford Focus zx3, hatchback. The hatch back bounces open all the time when I try to close it, and the drivers side door handle is broken from the outside. I have to get in the passenger side and release the door from the inside. If I forget to use the unlock when I get out of the car, I have to climb in through the hatchback and open the back door, then open it and reach up and unlock the front passenger door, to open the drivers side door. There is only one unlock on the drivers side door, which obviously does not help at all.

There is no way to secure the hatch when transporting long items & thus exhaust fumes are sucked back into the passenger compartment. The manufacturer does not recommend drilling a hole for the hook on a bungee chord to hold the hatch down & reduce fumes entering the passenger compartment. The manufacturer indicated the drilling of a hole for a hook may invalidate the warranty. This, I feel, is a health & safety concern since it is common for me to see hatch vehicle transporting common household items, like 2 x 4's from the local home center & other items as well. The hatch remains completewly open.
