Consumer Description

DOORS ON FORD FOCUS MALFUNCTION. ONLY DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS KEY ENTRY BUT DOES NOT WORK WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENS WITH REMOTE UNLOCK ENTRY BUT AT TIMES MALFUNCTIONS AND WON'T OPEN. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL ANYMORE. HAVE TO ENTER ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND CRAWL OVER CONSOLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT'S THE FORD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR THAT IS MALFUNCTIONED. *TR
