I own a 2006 ford focus zx5. In march 2014, I notice the passenger back door would not lock. I did some research but found out there was no recall on my 2006. I did see 2005, 2008 but not mines. I did spend over 300.00 dollars to have it repaired and now two weeks later my front door passenger side stop working. This is a problem with the vehicle. I am the only driver and I have no children playing with my locks. I wish someone could assist me with this issue.

Rear passenger door won't lock. My wife "apparently" locked the car at work in an open parking lot and later went to retrieve something from back seat to find that the door was not locked. No indication was given when locking the car using the remote locking mechanism that there is an issue because it sounds like it is fully locked. It isn't. I checked the issue by having her drive up and down the road making sure she thought all doors were locked and while she had stopped, I opened the rear passenger door and jumped in the back seat much as an attacker or carjacker might do. This is a safety issue because anyone can jump in the back of the car while stopped at traffic lights even though the owner may think that the car is securely locked, it just might not be. Beware and check all your door locks on a regular basis as this seems to be reported on multiple occasions on ford focus internet forums. To this date, we have no idea when the actual locking mechanism failed as it is not something we, or any other driver would check on a regular basis.

The rear passenger door does not lock on our 2006 ford focus zx4. It opens and closes correctly. It just won't lock, even with child lock on. All other doors operate correctly. This door operated correctly before. We heard ford had a problem with this on previous focus models. Cut off was the year 2005 for this problem. We feel unsafe from this problem because we transport our senior moms to shopping trips.

For the 3rd time a rear door lock on my ford focus has failed. Twice on right once on left. The lock jams. Cannot lock. But a danger to a child in the car as you cannot open the door from the inside. Nor can you secure the car from car jackers since it will not lock,.
