Consumer Description

ON OCCASION THE DRIVERS DOOR AND BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES WILL NOT RELEASE TO ALLOW DOOR TO OPEN WHEN PULLING HANDLE TO OPEN. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE DOOR OPEN. NOW, FRONT PASSENGER LATCH WILL NOT RELEASE AT ALL, CAUSING THE DOOR TO NOT BE USABLE. I SPOKE WITH FORD AT 18003923673 AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY YOUNG CHILDREN, WHO RIDE IN THE BACK, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IF WE WERE EVER IN AN ACCIDENT EMERGENCY HELP MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THE CHILDREN MAY BECOME TRAPPED. IN THE EVENT THAT THE FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT LONGER OPEN THE PASSENGER , MYSELF, HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE SEATS TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
