- Peoria , AZ, USA

On May 18, 2015, when I was pulling out of my work parking lot and turning onto the main street, the passenger front door flew open for no reason. I pulled over and tried to close the door, but it would not latch closed at all. I tried several times and ended up "seat-belting" the door shut. I feel this is an extremely serious safety issue. When I took it to the dealership, I had a pay $100 deductible for this to be fixed, but again, I feel this is a safety issue and deserves due investigation. There was absolutely no reason for the car door to come open when I was driving. As I am writing this complaint on July 31, 2015, my back passenger door did the same thing, except my daughter was in the backseat!! (tracking issue #: 10745475) I sincerely hope Consumer Affairs looks into why Ford Focus 2012 car doors are not latching closed!
