My 2017 Mustang Convertible gave no warning to suddenly have no access to the trunk. The key fob doesn't open it. The inside button does not work. The seat doesn't fold down. There is no actual key hole to use. I am woman almost 70 years old. What if I have a flat tire? Everything I need for a flat tire is in the trunk. My first Aid kit is on the trunk. This is a serious problem and a poor design. I am still waiting for the dealer to fix the recall on the back up camera. I think both problems, the back up camera AND the trunk issue are in the same wiring harness. I sure hope I don't get a flat.

passenger side door pops open while driving at high speed after small bumps in the road. This has happened at least a dozen times. Is Ford waiting for a child to fall out of the car?? A google search turns up many complaints on the same issue

The passenger door latch failed when driving at higher speed (70 mph). While driving on the turnpike at 70 mph, the passenger door unlatched while the passenger seat was occupied. The car had to be pulled over and come to a complete stop in order to close the door and have it re-latch. This happened twice in the span of an hour. It has happened on three other occasions but was thought to be a one-off occurrence each time.

Door would open while driving, warning lamp would then appear "door ajar". Happens to both passenger and drivers side. Has happened 48 times, since June 2020. It happens at different speeds, anything from 70 mph, to pulling into a parking stall (2 mph). Dealer looked at it, they said they consulted Ford, and there is nothing they could do. (Today, (4/1/22), it happened 3 times in 1 day, passenger side twice, and drivers side once) I fear for my safety and the safety of my passengers.
