The inside door handle has a cable attachment to it, when you pull the door handle it moves the lock and the door opens. Today, mine broke. The reason for contacting you, I called the ford location to check for repair, the parts man told me that this door handle problem was the no 1 problem for ford motor cars. Seems to me that they would address the problem, would you think that $150.00 cost for replacement might be the reason? Sounds like add on sales, does not sound right, but the numbers are millions.

Attempted to exit the drivers door to obtain fuel. Internal door latch failed and would not open door. Had to lower drivers window and use outer door latch to open door. I believe this to be a significant safety issue as it would hinder or prevent egress from the vehicle in the case of a fire or flood, especially if the electrical system were disabled.
