Consumer Description

RE: 2000 FORD EXPEDITION, CHILD SAFETY LOCKS/REAR DOOR LATCHES CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON REAR DOORS ACTIVATE BY THEMSELVES, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN REAR DOORS FROM INSIDE. FORD WAS CONTACTED ALREADY BUT THEY MENTIONED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND IF REPAIRS ARE NECESSARY IT WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND IT COULD LEAD TO A TRAGEDY WHICH WILL AFFECT MY FAMILY AND OTHER FORD EXPEDITION OWNERS AS WELL. *AK
