Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 FORD FIESTA AND TODAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN HER CAR SEAT IN PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAT,I WENT AROUND A CURVE AND HER DOOR FLEW OPEN,I AM AWARE OF THE FORD RECALL AND IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER TOMORROW,THE ISSUE TO ME IS THE LATCH IS PLASTIC AND THAT'S CAUSING THE PAW SPRING TO WEAR OUT AND BREAK.THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD,THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT DOOR LATCH,WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 3 DOORS THEY HAVE TO BE FAULTY TOO.I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR ANYMORE SINCE I SEEN THAT THE LATCHES ARE PLASTIC.I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED WITH DOORS FLYING OPEN.
