While driving at approximately 35 miles per hour, the right rear passenger door opened on it's own. Had to pull over and secure the door with ties as the door would not latch. Noticed later the door latch appeared to be rusted. Since this incident, both rear door latches and the driver's side door latch have failed. Recently, the car was brought to the dealership to remedy the issue; however, the dealer stated the vehicle was not included in the recall despite having the same defect as the vehicles covered under the recall.
