In extremely cold temperatures, the door will not latch or will pop open while driving. It has happened multiple times, but only in below freezing temperatures. Ford recall notice 06S45 describes it perfectly, but somehow my Ford Five hundred is not included in the recall.

This is the problem that I am having #06V383000 with my 2005 Ford Five hundred I took it to a dealer and was told that since it was not a Ford recall that they could not fix the problem. It seems to happen when it get extremely cold out. Some times I have to drive to work holding the door until the latch catches. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have a 2005 Ford Five hundred and the doors will not latch in cold weather and open while vehicle is moving; we contacted Ford and they said they had that recall but not in my state, said it wasn't cold enough in our area; well, it is and it happens every winter with this car. Ford should fix this as it is a major safety concern for my family.

I purchased a 2005 Ford 500 ltd. The first incident occurred while driving home from atlantic city. The dashboard lit up like I was starting the car and went into failsafe engine mode. After pulling over, the car ran normal. The next occurrence was when the car started shutting off while driving. It has done this on numerous occastions. Then the dashboard lit up again and the reverse lights stayed on. This winter season the door latches would not catch to keep the doors shut. After it rains the rear doors have water sitting inside of them. Upon doing some research, I found that these problems were on Ford's technical service bulliten (tsb). I called Ford and they said there were no recalls according to the vehicle identification number. They also stated that there was work done prior to me purchasing the vehicle. I also had the car worked on for the electrical problem and was told the car was fixed. The car is still experiencing these problems. I don't have the finances to continue to have work done and the problems not be fixed.
