The vehicle was taken to the dealer for recalls, I was told all the recalls with a door latch were fixed. Now the door latch won-€™t close and the door stays open. Reached out to Ford and since it is the weekend ford is ignoring the matter until a dealer is open and it can be towed there. This is a safety matter that ford is ignoring.

Fusion

  • 44,148 miles
2 weeks ago as I'm driving and make a left turn the rear passenger door flies open nearly causing my 10 month old nephew to fall out of the moving vehicle. My niece had to grab his carseat from the sheer fear and panic of the incident. I immediately pull over to console and calm down my nephew and realized the door latch is broken and the door won't close and stay shut. And also realized he had a small bruise on his right cheek from the lash of his car seat being secured by the seatbelt and bumped his face against the car seat. So I had to purchase bungee cords to keep the door from flying open as I drive. So therefore now, the lights constantly stay on because the door is always open and also because the door is still open and can't lock, I'm at risk of auto theft or my belongings being stolen. I've talked to both Ford corporate and the dealership I purchased the car from and they are aware of the recalls for the 2013-2015 Ford Fusion door latch issues. But because my VIN# to my car doesn't populate as one to be recalled they say I have to pay out of pocket for the repairs and it costs nearly $400 to get the one door repaired. I've done all I've could to get them to repair it but they don't care and told me either I pay for it or it won't get fixed.
