The passenger door of my 2016 Mustang convertible keeps opening to the secondary latch while driving. This has happened multiple times, always while driving at a high speed (70 mph+) on the interstate. It is very frightening to hear wind noise and see a "door ajar" warning on the dash while driving at a high speed, and then have to attempt to find a safe place to pull over to open & close the door so it's fully latched. I've found a recall notice on Ford's website. Both my local Ford dealership & Ford motor company's customer service have stated my VIN number are not eligible for the program to have this repaired.
