2007 Ford Focus locks problems

Filed Nov 4, 2016 · Locks · 74,000 miles · OH

The front driver's side door latch mechanism will not catch all the time and requires several times shutting the door before it will catch. Also, occasionally while driving the door will become unlatched and open on its own. I've seen many complaints about this online and there has been a recall on other years with the same part but not on the 2007 focus.

The lock on the rear passenger side door will not lock. Doesn't lock with the rest of the doors and I cannot lock manually. Anyone could come open it at any time and take whatever they want. It is not safe. I am afraid if someone rides back there it will pop open if they lean on it.

This is for a ford focus zx5 (4-door hatchback). At 90k miles passenger back door lock assembly broke and had to be replaced. Replaced under extended warranty and cost $90. Now the drivers back door lock is broken. It will not work manually or electronically. My children are able to open the door whether the car in park or drive since the entire latch and lock assembly needs to be replaced. This is definitely a safety issue. Paid for the door to be checked and the replacement part and labor is approx. $350. Door locks should never fail and in my case both back doors have failed.

Driver side front and rear door locks will not work with remote, with the key, or manually from the inside. Passenger side door locks work as they should. Anyone can gain entry to the vehicle at any time. A rear passenger, especially child, would be at great risk. This is not an uncommon issue with this and previous years of the focus. I was told over the phone by a ford technician that this is an electrical issue, but other complaints show necessary replacement of latch and lock assembly.

My 2007 ford focus rear passenger door lock will not lock. This is a real safety issue because I have children who can pull on the door and open it while I am driving down the road. I can not even "child lock" it. In addition, on tuesday night I was robbed of all my christmas presents that were in the trunk of my car because the door will not lock and someone accessed my car through the rear door and popped the trunk. They also stole my usps rain gear and important paperwork I had in my car ( I am a union representative). There is several complaints about this issue and we should not wait until a child dies from falling out on the freeway to recall these vehicles.
