The front passenger door to my 2012 Ford Fiesta sel suddenly opened on it's own while my vehicle was traveling approximately 35 miles on a curb. After pulling over to inspect, I found I could not close the door any longer. I have found numerous other complaints over the internet as well as this page on the department of transportation website and I am requesting further investigation into this matter as it doesn't seem to be an isolated issue. Car doors flying open at random while driving are cause for concern. After taking my vehicle to the Ford dealership, they wanted over $500 for a small part and less than an hours work since my it was past my 48,000 warranty by about 200 miles.

I opened and shut my passenger door and instead of closing, the door just bounced back and could not be shut. This is the 2nd door on this car to have this problem. The rear passenger door did the same thing about two months prior to this incident.

The problem, or I should say 'the jam' as in door jamb, is that both side rear passenger doors on my 2012 Ford Fiesta are not working on the close. The doors won't stay closed or stay shut. When you try shutting either door it just bounces back out a little. Neither door will latch closed. Only 35,772 miles on my 2012 Fiesta when both rear passenger side door latches failed within 12 hours of each other. Is both doors failing at the same time just a coincidence" I think not. I think defective and dangerous! my Fiesta has never been involved in an accident, no body damage, no evidence of attempted break-ins and no apparent reason to cause 1, let alone both, rear passenger side door latches to malfunction and prevent closing of the rear side doors. And, absolutely no warning or indication of any looming or pending problem with the operation of either door nor my fingers, hands, wrists or arms" although I do get a bout-of-gout in my knee occasionally. I just opened each door normally to find it broken upon shutting. What I find extremely strange, and at this time still unexplained by anyone, is that both doors failed within 12 hours of each other in exactly the same manor. Seems like too much to be a coincidence, doesn't it. Read all info about the faulty door latches @ www.finley.tv.

Door latch will not catch. The door does not lock or stay closed. This is happening on the passenger front side door. Has already happened to the passenger back door as well.
