NHTSA Complaint #11090102 — 2013 FORD FIESTA

ALL 4 DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON 23 MAY 2015 UNDER RECALL #15S16. AT THAT TIME, THE CAR HAD 44,592 MILES. ON MONDAY, 23 APRIL 2018, THE DRIVER'S DOOR REFUSED TO LATCH. WHEN YOU TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IF FLEW OPEN AGAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 66754 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL LATCHES WERE BETTER THAN THE REPLACEMENT LATCHES. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. WE DUCT TAPED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, NO RECALL, MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT, FORD DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS I CASE OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FIX IT, IT IS COSTING ME OVER $350.
