NHTSA Complaint #10627776 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

WE BOUGHT THE CAR NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AGO AND WENT TO PUT MY KID IN HIS CAR SEAT AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T SHUT. WE HAD TO MOVE HIM TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND HOLD THE OTHER DOOR LOCKED WITH THE SEATBELT IN ORDER TO GET BACK 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVE. WE HAVE 2 YOUNG KIDS BOTH IN CARSEATS AND KNOWING THAT THE DOOR COULD JUST OPEN AT ANYTIME WHILE KIDS ARE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT WORRIES ME FOR MY KIDS AND OTHERS KIDS WHO HAVE THIS CAR! WITH SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THE SAME THING YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NOW FOR THAT REASON. WHAT DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THEY FINALLY DECIDE TO RECALL IT? SOMETHING END UP HAPPENING TO SOMEONE'S SON OR DAUGHTER ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION? THE PART WAS EVEN ON BACK ORDER FOR THE SAME YEAR AND CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO OFTEN TO PEOPLE WITH A 2012 FORD FIESTA. *TR
