We own a 2006 ford freestyle that had a safety recall # 06s45 pertaining to door latches sticking. it was performed in 2006. on feb 10 2010 the door latch failed to work while i was buckling my children into the car. i took the car to the dealership and they said everything looked fine to them. i called ford motor company and they told me that since they performed the recall in 2006 that they were no longer responsible for the safety of my passengers. *tr
