The back door locks will not unlock; i have tried to change the "child proof lock" to be disengaged, but how do you get the door open to even change it if the door won't unlock. This happens on and off; not all the time; sometimes the door will open; sometimes they won't. This is very dangerous if you needed to get out of the vehicle in an emergency. Was there a recall on these doors? Thank you. *tr

My car locks fine, but sometimes different doors will not unlock. It started with the driver's side rear door, one day it just wouldn't unlock with the key fob or manual. It has now done this with all the doors except the driver door. My concern is that when this happens, whichever door it is cannot be opened, so what happens if i'm either locked out of my vehicle or i'm locked in during a crash? *tr

We have taken our car to the ford service center no less than six times because the interior door locks will not unlock (power locks). There is not a manual way to unlock the doors. Our teenage daughter drives this vehicle and we are concerned for her well-being of being able to get out of the vehicle for any reason (accident, fire, and inconvenience). Ford has claimed that nothing can be done and it's attributable…

I own a 2010 ford focus. The back door on the driver's side will not open or close. The dealer was supposed to have fixed it but it is back to not working. This same thing has happened to my son who owns a 2008 ford focus. I think ford needs a recall on the 2008 and 2010 ford focus. *tr
