Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AROUND A RIGHT HAND TURN THE DRIVES SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. THE LATCH WILL NOT CATCH. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHER FORD CARS HAVING BUT THIS ONE IS NOT UNDER A RECALL. HOW CAN IT NOT BE? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR IT. THE COST IS $460 PLUS A RENTAL. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. IF IT WAS ON THE FREEWAY THERE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS INJURIES OR MORE NOT TO JUST MY WIFE BUT ANYONE CLOSE TO HER. THIS NEEDS A RECALL NOW NOT MONTH FROM NOW.
