It started at on time when going to exit the stationary car, I could not exit the car because the lock would not unlatch, you could not open the driver or passenger doors from inside our outside. Now it has moved on to all the doors, sometimes they work and open sometimes they don't. I have replaced the driver door handle 3 times already for the same issue each time, in the handle latch itself there is a little plastic piece that keeps breaking inside the handle not allowing the handle to pull open the door. And now the last issue when taking off the locks automatically lock after a couple of seconds when driving sometimes they lock sometimes they don't. I can no longer lock my car when leaving it because you never know if and when the locks will open as well as which door will choose to remain closed and not open....I have had to go in through the trunk several times quiet embarrassing. I have brought it to my local ford company several times for them to fix the issue, they tell me it is my problem not a manufactures defect..one door yes I could understand all four doors no there is a problem with the system. I believe this is a very serious safety issue because I can not always get my child out of the back seat because there is no guarantee that the door will open please look into this I have dealt with it long enough and can no longer continue to worry about my child's safety, my safety or the lack there of protection of not being able to lock my own car without knowing if I can get back in let alone someone else getting in. This has dated back to when my original warranty fell off.

My 2010 ford focus ses door system isn't working out of no where. Sometimes my door locks won't lock, sometimes they won't until to the point I can get out of my car. The owner before also had this problem and got them fixed. Now my rear door won't open at all. A couple people I've talked to they report similar things. This a huge safety problem.. I have a four year old is scary knowing something could happened I might not be able to get her out because of this door issues. Since it's already been fixed, I'm nervous to fix it also and it goes back to this.

We bought a factory certified car to eliminate problems like this.the problem we have is also intermittent and involves the right hand door lock's 95% of the time both front and rear. The not always at the same time.when locked they fail to open with either the remote of the inside switch.we have been to the dealer 4-5 times and it was only the last time he was able to see 1/2 of the problem.he did not have time to get it in that day and I didn't have time to leave .his answer is if it's not broken I cant fix it . I also asked the sales man if they have been having that problem or is the first he herd of it.they have heard of it before and he recommended wd-40 squirted down to clean the actuator.I did try that but it happens again over and over at the most inconvenient of times.this car was bought for my wife and I have a great concern god forbid something happen and the people on the right side can not get out of the car.I also have a ford truck and there were a few recalls which you'll did the right thing and fixed it I like my ford truck.looking in the internet I see this problem quite a bit on the focus but why is this year or VIN not included if I to am having the same problem?please help me with this problem.I think it would help us both feel safer driving our new/used car.the problem is inconsistent and happens sitting still,driving at any and or all speeds.
