problem #2

Focus 4-cyl

  • 146,000 miles
The rear doors do not lock. The manual locking device doesn't move, nor does the lock on the remote work, so there is no way to lock the doors. This may have been like this for a long time without us noticing. Thank goodness that a child did not try to open the door because it has not locked. This issue is all over the internet and is a common problem. This is a serious problem.
