Consumer Description

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I GOT IN AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG. I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED TO DRIVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, BUT MY CAR INFORMED ME THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. I PUSHED ON THE DOOR (WITHOUT PULLING THE LATCH) AND THE DOOR OPENED. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH.
