Filed Mar 19, 2022 · Body, Electrical · TX

I was driving down the highway and my door locking latch and cable failed. The door came open going 75 MPH.The defective dealership part I found out is the subject of recalls on other Ford Focus year models but my model was left off the recall. This is a huge safety concern as my door is unable to lock at all times including highway driving.

It sounds as if a bolt has come loose inside the driver's side door. It rolls forward and back with every acceleration and stop. It happened when I took my car into the shop to have them repair the clutch that had been recalled. It didn't do it when I dropped it off, but it was doing it when I picked it up.

Electrical system that supports the radio. I would like to report this electrical because something leaked from the radio area, burning the car interior near the radio. Radio started making a popping noise before the burn. Know the radio does not work in the off position radio still pops. Scared to drive because of safety. Date may be wrong...but on file ford douglasville thornton road.

Our daughter's trunk on her 2015 ford focus hatchback will not open, there is no emergency release in the trunk space to release the trunk that is required by a 2001 law. Took the car to an auto body shop and they were confused and told us they could try to open it, but could not give us a guarantee. Ford dealership tells us there should be an emergency release, that we need to bring the car in. We can clearly see in the back of the car that no such glow in the dark piece is there. I called ford corporate and they said it doesn't look like our vehicle has the emergency release. I read the description on the ntsb website about passenger vehicles with trunks being required to have it. How do we proceed to make certain our daughter's vehicle is safe and that the trunk is usable?

Driver side door latch will not actuate and the door will fly open while driving. Ford claims this problem is not covered on this VIN for a focus st even though 2015 focus door latches are listed on an earlier recall.
