What is wrong: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Ford Taurus vehicles manufactured December 1, 2009, to July 31, 2010, and 2011-2013 Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured June 1, 2011, to October 31, 2011. In the affected vehicles, the interior door handle return spring may unseat, resulting in interior door handle that does not return to the fully stowed position after actuation.
Risk: If the interior door handle return spring is unseated, the door may unlatch in the event of a side impact crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect all four of the interior door handles and either repair or replace them, free of charge. The recall began March 23, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S02.

' my driver-side interior door handle return spring has recently unseated. (door will not latch). Vehicle was stationary when latch broke. ' this condition is exactly as described in ford recall 15s02. ' ford is refusing to cover the repair since the build-date of my car was 6 months later than 15s02 recalled vehicles. ' my date may be 6 months later than the ford specified end-date but I have the identical unsafe condition (and vehicle model / year) as described in the recall. ' two questions: 1) where does ford get these recall dates? (when obviously there are cars built later with the same issue) 2) how can I make ford cover this repair?

This is a recall complaint. There was a safety recall on the driver's side door handle at the end of march 2015. Took the car in and was told they had the parts and car would be ready at day's end. When I went back, they said they couldn't get the part and auto would be ready on monday. On monday they still didn't have the part and as of today aug. 26, 2015, they still don't have the necessary part. They did provide us with a rental vehicle, but when I do pick-up my car????????they will charge me 300+$ for the work they did for my 50,000 mi check-up. I think they should cancel that fee for the months of inconvenience they have caused me!!!!!!! Plus they have left my car sitting outside all of this time! Weeds, summer sun beating down have all caused deterioration to my always (before) garage kept car. Can you help?

My tail lights keep peeling. The chrome around the lights peels. I had replaced 2 years ago under warranty and now they are peeling again. It is a manufacturer issue I think but they need to find a solution as my 3 year old car looks bad with peeling chrome.
