| Description of the problem | Latches/locks recall recall #06v383000 ford reference #06s45 the latch on my driver side door keeps freezing, keeping the door from staying closed. It has already bounced open once while i was in motion on ny state route 434. I also have spent a great amount of time trying to shut my door for the past 4 days before and after every trip once i am parked. Even so, i have been unable to shut my door for the past day. When i found this recall and called my local ford dealer, they stated that i was not covered under this recall and that it doesn't even show up in the system. I'm not here to complain, i just want to be able to shut my card door so i can drive it safely. I'm to the point where i have to keep the driver side windows down about an inch and wrap a bungee cord around the doors to keep my driver door shut. |
