What owners wrote
Received a recall notice from ford moco. Took the wifes vehicle into the dealership for repairs, the technician called and said the car was repaired and we took the vehicle home. I took the vehicle to work that evening and when I got off work my freind and I that rides to work with me noticed thast the door still wasn't shutting properly. I slammed the door 3 or4 times and thought it had latched as the dome light went out.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford five hundred. The contact stated that the front driver side door would not latch properly after inclement weather such as ice, snow or rain. The contact would hold open the door handle and shove it a few times in order to enter on the passenger side to ensure that the door would remain shut while operating the vehicle.
