My door pops open while driving. You can hear it and the dash lights up that the door is ajar. Have to pull over and open and close the door. This has happened multiple times during various speeds and road conditions. Ford has recalled the door latches on the years prior but this year is not included. It has been occurring for over a year about 3 times a month.
My my trunk has a set of cords that have been caught in my trunk door and severed in half. They are then too short to fix. Basically Im stuck I do believe it wasn’t thought through very well. I have a 2019 eco boost convertible in which the adaptive cruise control has never worked. Current PROBLEMS(these are all on my Ford app) -Restraints indicator lamp Warning - pre collision assist not available VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT: PROBLEMS 1. Power train malfunction / reduce power 2.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the front passenger door failed. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the front passenger’s door was unlatched independently. The contact received a warning on the instrument panel that the passenger’s door was unlatched. The contact was able to move onto the road shoulder and secured the front passenger door latch. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic test performed. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign 17V652000 (Latches/Locks/Linkage). The vehicle was not repaired.

While driving on highways, passenger door will suddenly partially unlatch and open door warning tone and advisory displays on the dash. I must pull over in order to open and reclose the door. First event was several months ago and I assumed it was an isolated event. It has increased in frequency to at least once a week. The door is closed and locked yet it comes partially unlatched and seems to only occur at highway speeds between 60mph and 75mph. Highly distracting when driving on interstate highway and I am unsure if it comes unlatched all the way since I have not had a passenger when this occurs. Poses safety hazard both as distraction and unsafe door lock.
