Consumer Description

THE RIGHT REAR-DOOR ON MY 2012 FORD FIESTA ONE DAY FAILED TO LATCH, AND IT HASN'T LATCHED SINCE. THE DOOR IS NOW SITTING AJAR AT ALL TIMES AND I HAVE TO TIE IT CLOSED. THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON RANDOMLY AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD OR TURN CORNERS, AND THE "DOOR AJAR DINGING SOUND" PLAYS RANDOMLY. I TOOK IT IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, AS WELL AS SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. THE GENTLEMAN SAID NO ONE HAS HAD ANY DOOR LATCH ISSUES ON THE 2012 FORD FIESTA. HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $418 TO HAVE IT REPLACED -- BUT I FOUND THIS ARTICLE THAT SAYS DIFFERENT. HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2014/09/15/NHTSA-FORD-FIESTA-DOOR-LATCH-INVESTIGATION/ *TR
