Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE WITH MY NEPHEW IN THE BACK SEAT. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH AROUND A CURVE AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WHERE MY NEPHEW WAS SITTING FLEW OPEN. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO TRY TO SHUT THE DOOR. IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED AFTER THAT. MY SISTER WHO WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT HAD TO MOVE TO THE BACK TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT SO I COULD GET HOME. NOW I HAVE A TIE DOWN ACROSS MY ENTIRE BACK SEAT TO KEEP THE DOOR FROM SWINGING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. AND TO HOLD IT SHUT SO THAT I CAN LOCK MY CAR. BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS UP FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF 400-500 DOLLARS. *TR
