NHTSA Complaint #11266428 — 2014 FORD FUSION

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH MY DOOR LATCH ON MY VEHICLE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ON MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCH REMAINED OPEN AND DID NOT LOCK SHUT WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THIS RESULTED IN THE DOOR REMAINING OPEN. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM HAD BEEN ISSUED ON 2013-2015 FORD FUSIONS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED IN THE ISSUE. I ENDED UP PAYING $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS LAST WEEK I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OCCUR ON MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY AGAIN STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VIN NUMBER AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DOOR LATCHES ON MY CAR. I WILL AGAIN BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT FURTHER MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS ISSUE COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND PERHAPS WHILE DRIVING AS IT HAS AFFECTED OTHER CARS WITH THIS RECALL ISSUE. I WOULD BE DEVASTATED IF THIS OCCURRED WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO EXTEND THIS RECALL ISSUE TO MY VIN NUMBER.
