Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO A STORE, TOOK A RIGHT HAND TURN AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLEW WIDE OPEN. I HELD THE DOOR SHUT WHILE DRIVING WITH ONE ARM. MY BROTHER WHO HAD A 2013 FORD FIESTA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BOTH REAR DOORS, AND HIS PASSENGER DOOR. THIS ISSUE I HAVE HEARD OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES AND YET NO RECALL? IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE FALLING OUT OF THEIR CAR AND THE CAR HITTING INNOCENT BYSTANDERS FOR THIS TO BECOME SERIOUS FOR FORD TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $500 FOR THIS FIX DESPITE ITS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND TERRIBLE DESIGN. 2010+ FORD CARS IN MY OPINION ARE ALL GARBAGE, AND FORD SERVICE DOES NOT CARE.
