| Description of the problem | On my way to work on 10/03/2017 @ around 7am in rush hour traffic my left passenger front door swung up. I had to swerve out of traffic to miss from hitting a vehicle next to mine. I was able to safely arrive at a rite aid parking lot. I have researched and found that my model car was under a recall for faulty door latch. My car was taken to my local ford dealership where they are stating it will be $652 to repair and my car was not under recall. I'm highly upset and feel that my car should be cover under this recall as it has experienced the same defect as previous 2013 lincoln mkz owners |
