Description of the problem	I own a company with a fleet of vehicles, two of which are a 2012 ford focus. Both ford vehicles have had multiple door latches fail. I will submit a separate entry for the other vehicle to provide the vin# and details. The vehicle referenced in this document with the vin# above has now experienced three separate incidents in which a door latch has failed between may and august of 2014. Each incident was a different door latch failing.
