Summary
FAULTY DOOR LATCH. FORD WILL NOT HONOR ITS OWN RECALL NOTICE PUBLISHED IN NEWS PAPERS THROUGHOUT US. COST FOR REPLACE IS OVER $500. DOOR LATCHES HAVE FAILED WHILE DRIVING. MY LATCH FAILED WHILE IN PARK, BUT DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. FROM ABC NEWS ARTICLE "FORD IS RECALLING ABOUT 830,000 VEHICLES IN THE U.S. AND MEXICO BECAUSE PARTS IN THE SIDE DOOR LATCHES CAN BREAK AND THE DOORS CAN OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE MOVING. THE RECALL ANNOUNCED THURSDAY COVERS CERTAIN 2013 TO 2015 FORD ESCAPE SUVS AND C-MAX CARS, AND 2012 TO 2015 FOCUS CARS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE 2014 TO 2016 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT VANS, AND FORD MUSTANG SPORTS CARS AND LINCOLN MKC SUVS FROM 2015." FORD SAYS A FAULTY SPRING PART CAN BREAK, STOPPING THE DOORS FROM LATCHING. THE COMPANY SAYS THE RATE OF PROBLEMS IS HIGHER IN STATES WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AND SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE, SO THE RECALL IS FOCUSED ON ALL OF MEXICO AND 16 STATES MAINLY IN THE SOUTH AND WEST. STATES INCLUDED ARE ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEW MEXICO, NEVADA, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, UTAH, OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

THE RECALL WILL COST FORD ABOUT $270 MILLION, AND THAT FIGURE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S THIRD-QUARTER PRETAX RESULTS, FORD SAID IN A FILING WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN PROBLEMATIC FOR FORD DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. IN MAY OF 2015 THE COMPANY HAD TO RECALL 692,000 SMALL AND MIDSIZE CARS FOR A SIMILAR LATCH PROBLEM.

Summary
DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT FMCO REQUIRES THEY CLEAN CONTACTS FIRST, BEFORE REPLACING. THIS WAS DONE AND SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. I TOOK BACK TO DEALER WHEN PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. NOW THEY SAY THE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN AND WANT $366.00 TO FIX IT, AND THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD PRODUCTS AND THEY HAVE IN FACT RECALLED SEVERAL MODELS. I WAS GIVEN THE IMPRESSION TO START WITH THAT IF THE CONTACT CLEANING PROCEDURE DIDN'T WORK THEN IT WOULD BE REPLACED. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR THIS.

Summary
I PURCHASED MY USED CAR IN THE FALL OF 2015. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS - NOW OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY - IN WHICH MY CAR WILL NOT START BECAUSE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM BELIEVES I AM TRYING TO STEAL IT. WHEN I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL NOT START AND THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT STARTS BLINKING. I MUST WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION FOR THE LIGHT TO STOP BLINKING. THEN I CAN RESTART THE CAR AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS MALIBU OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN DARK PARKING LOTS MULTIPLE TIMES, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT MY VEHICLE REGULARLY WILL NOT START WITHOUT A TEN MINUTE DELAY.
