Description of the problem | The drivers door came unlatched and opened while vehicle was turning. 2013 ford focus was checked out by ford dealer and said there has been recalls on other ford latch problems but none on this vehicle , although it has a similar latch as the fiesta and fusion, luckily my son had his seat belt on or he would have been thrown out of the vehicle . This is a major safety issue that needs to be fixed . The door can just unlatch at any time due to a faulty spring mechanism. |
