NHTSA Complaint #10644609 — 2013 FORD FIESTA

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA TO WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA, I OBSERVED THE LIGHT COME ON INDICATING THE DOOR WAS OPEN. I ARRIVED HOME AND CHECKED THE DOORS. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DID NOT CLOSE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT DID NOT FLY OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS WAS ON A WEEKEND, SO ON THE 19TH OF MAY I DROVE IT TO JARRETT GORDON FORD IN WINTER HAVEN. I HAD TO SECURE THE DOOR USING BUNGY CORDS AND I STILL WAS GETTING THE DOOR OPEN LIGHT. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY. THEY REPAIRED THE DOOR. ON 10/13/2014, I WENT TO RUN AN ERRAND AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE ADMISSION, IT INDICATED A DOOR WAS OPEN. I THEN NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DROVE IT TO JARRETT GORDON FORD AGAIN AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS FRIGHTENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK ALL 4 DOORS. ON 10/14/2014 JARRETT GORDON FORD CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DOOR WAS ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY SECURED MY DOOR USING MY BUNGY CORDS, DID NOT OFFER ME A VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BROKEN DOOR FOR TWO WEEKS. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. *TR
