The contact owns 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph the passenger side door erroneously unlatch and became partially unsecured. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified. The local dealer was not contacted. Also the contact indicated that the passenger side door would not remain secured. The failure mileage was 85,000.

The doors on both passenger and drivers side keep unlatching while driving. It happens quite often, 4 times this week on one 200 miles trip. I took it to the dealer who said the locking mechanisms were faulty. The dealer replaced both of them $1200. 00. My question there was a recall on this problem involving several years including 2015. But my car was not included even though it obviously has the same problem. Is there anything that can be done to cover an obvious safety hazard?.
