    Common fault on the older Fiesta, even I had the same problem, the latch isn't moving back fast enough to lock down, I removed my latch mech' and thoroughly cleaned it, then gave it a good dosing of spray grease to all the joints, refitted it, then made sure it was really free in moving, after that everything was greased up, never had issues since.
