NHTSA Complaint #11139062 — 2012 FORD FIESTA

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FIESTA, WITH MY CHILD IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I TRIED CLOSING IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY LATCHED. I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOLDING IT SHUT AND STEERING THE CAR, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MILES FROM HOME. I CALLED MY FORD DEALER AND THEN I CALLED FORDS RECALL DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THE CURRENT RECALL 15S16, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 15V246000, DOES NOT COVER MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN THAT FACTORY DURING THE COVERED TIME PERIOD.
