NHTSA Complaint #11383829 — 2013 FORD C-MAX

I HAVE RECEIVED 3 SAFETY RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THE DOOR LATCHES, ONE IN JANUARY 2017 (RECALL NOTICE 16S30), ONE IN AUGUST 2020 (NOTICE 20S30), AND NOW AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2020 (NOTICE 20S30). I HAVE RESPONDED TWICE AND SUPPOSEDLY THE LATCHES WERE FIXED OR REPLACED BY THE DEALER. NOW THAT I HAVE RECEIVED THE THIRD NOTICE OF REQUIRED DEALER INSPECTION, I AM VERY WORRIED THAT THE PREVIOUS REPAIR HAD NOT BEEN DONE , OR HAD BEEN DONE INCORRECTLY. FORD WILL NOT RESPOND, OTHER THAN STATING I MUST BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FROM A SAFETY POINT OF VIEW AND IS TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE WHEN MISSING TIME FROM WORK. THEY PROVIDE A WEBSITE TO CHECK THE LATCH NUMBERS ON EACH DOOR, HOWEVER, AFTER ENTERING THE NUMBERS, THE WEBSITE STATES THAT THE VEHICLE MUST BE INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE SAID TO REFER TO THE WEBSITE.
