2007 Ford Focus

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR (4 DOOR SEDAN SE MODEL) WILL NOT LOCK. I CAN'T LOCK IT MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. THE DRIVER DOOR WILL LOCK, BUT ONLY WITH THE KEY OR WHEN THE LOCK IN MANUALLY PUSHED. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SHOULD NEVER FAIL IN A MODE THAT CAN'T BE LOCKED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN BE CARJACKED, MY BELONGS AND CAR CAN BE STOLEN. CHILDREN CANNOT SIT IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. *TR

MY 2007 FORD FOCUS REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHO CAN PULL ON THE DOOR AND OPEN IT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I CAN NOT EVEN "CHILD LOCK" IT. IN ADDITION, ON TUESDAY NIGHT I WAS ROBBED OF ALL MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THAT WERE IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAR BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AND SOMEONE ACCESSED MY CAR THROUGH THE REAR DOOR AND POPPED THE TRUNK. THEY ALSO STOLE MY USPS RAIN GEAR AND IMPORTANT PAPERWORK I HAD IN MY CAR ( I AM A UNION REPRESENTATIVE). THERE IS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WE SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL A CHILD DIES FROM FALLING OUT ON THE FREEWAY TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TRAVELING ON AN FREEWAY, I DOWNSHIFTED (MTX75, 5SP MANUAL TRANS) AND PASSED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THEN WENT TO UP SHIFT AND FOUND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENTER ANY GEARS. SHIFTER WOULD MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, BUT NO UP AND DOWN INTO THE GATES. TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND TORE DOWN TO FIND CAUSE. FOUND A ROLL PIN HAD FALLEN OUT/SHEARED OFF ON THE GEAR SELECTOR ASSEMBLY ON THE TRANSMISSION. RESEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THIS TRANSMISSION WITH NO FIX OR UPDATED PARTS FROM MANUFACTURER. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH OUTSIDE OF CLEVELAND, OHIO WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT CAUSE. WE WERE SHOCKED, BUT MY HUSBAND WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE ROAD WAS TOTALLY CLEAR THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. WE WENT TO A NEARBY POLICE STATION AND THE OFFICER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT AT ALL, AND THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THEIR OPINION. MY ARM AND BACK HAVE BEEN SORE AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE FORD DEALER HOW THEY PLAN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE OTHER AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AS WELL. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER SIDE IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN I TRY TO AUTO LOCK IT, IT DOES NOTHING. AND THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY LOCK IT. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES AND I CANNOT EVEN CHILD PROOF BECAUSE THAT WOULD ALLOW THE DOOR TO BE OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, NOT THE INSIDE, THEREFORE STILL ESSENTIALLY NOT LOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT IF THEY ACCIDENTLY OPEN THE DOOR FOR WHATEVER REASON. MORE IMPORTANTLY, FOR ME, IT IS A SECURITY ISSUE IF MY CAR IS NEVER LOCKED. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN MANY, MANY OTHERS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR (AS WELL AS OTHER YEARS TOO). I LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE '05 MODEL BUT FORD FOR SOME REASON WILL NOT TAKE RESPONIBILITY FOR THE OTHER YEARS AS WELL. IF THIS IS FORD'S ISSUE, AND NOT A ONE-TIME INCIDENT WITH MY CAR, I DO NOT NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE ONE DAY THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. *TR
