Consumer Description

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO MY 2012 FORD FIESTA SEL SUDDENLY OPENED ON IT'S OWN WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES ON A CURB. AFTER PULLING OVER TO INSPECT, I FOUND I COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR ANY LONGER. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS THIS PAGE ON THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WEBSITE AND I AM REQUESTING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER AS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED ISSUE. CAR DOORS FLYING OPEN AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING ARE CAUSE FOR CONCERN. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY WANTED OVER $500.00 FOR A SMALL PART AND LESS THAN AN HOURS WORK SINCE MY IT WAS PAST MY 48,000 WARRANTY BY ABOUT 200 MILES. *TR
