My back door lock on my driver side stopped automatically locking and unlocking unless I do it manually. It wasn't a huge issue since I don't have a lot of people in my backseat. Last night, when I got home from work, I reached to open my door and nothing happened. I thought I was tired enough to be mistaken, but it happened. My door will now only open from the outside. The lock still locks and unlocks automatically when I use the button, but I have to roll down my window to get out. This can be hazardous if someone is locked in the car during a wreck, fire, gas leak, etc.

Over the past several years, one by one, every door latch or lock has broken. In 2008 I experienced a jamming of the driver's door latch so I was unable to shut the door, requiring the driver to hold the door shut with one hand while driving (an obvious safety risk). This was repaired, but again broke in 2012, and the door was only able to be opened from the outside. Latch was replaced (paid privately). Had similar incidents with all other doors, plus peeling silver tape from plastic latch handles. Latest incident was 8/30/13. Right rear passenger door is able to be opened from the inside, but can't be opened from the outside.

Driver side interior door latch broken. Can not lock car with key fob.

Filed Jul 2, 2012 · Locks · 74,200 miles · PA

Please file under *latches/locks/linkages* parked vehicle. Attempted to exit. Driver's side. Heard repeated sound of lock actuator clicking 3+ times. Had to manually force handle and manual lock above handle open and unlock door with remote to exit vehicle. Took approximately 3 minutes to exit vehicle. Upon reentering vehicle and returning home, remote lock works occasionally with half the time the actual lock mechanism prevents door from being locked. This issue is identical to all of the other 24 posts in this category. Should also be noted that all four door handles and manual locks exhibit same "paint delamination" of chrome-colored surfaces. Vehicle purchased as cpo in 2011 at 58,000 miles. Now has 74,200 mostly interstate miles. Ford should address this issue as it appears through research to be pretty wide-spread on these vehicles. This would be a safety issue in event that an emergency/rapid exit is required. This would be a security issue as vehicle doesn't properly lock all the time.
