"door handles" - arrived at work and when I pulled on driver's side door handle to exit car, there was a loud click sound and handle wouldn't work.. Felt loose. I had to turn the car back on, roll the window down, stick my hand out the window to pull on the exterior door handle to open the door. It's been like this since october and difficult to deal with in this brutal wisconsin winter. Ford should pay for repair since the many reports about this situation makes it a defect on ford cars, which is also a glaring safety issue if it hampers exiting vehicle in an emergency. I am a senior citizen on limited income and can't afford to pay for repairing these defects. This is an every day occurrence. Please help.

"takata recall" - received recall notice dated july 2016... But it stated that a 2nd notice/letter will be sent when parts become available and then can contact a dealer for repair... Meanwhile, now whenever I turn the car on, the airbag light comes on that I have to turn the ignition off and on again, hoping the airbag light doesn't show... And the fear that this airbag will explode and can actually kill you is so stressful.. Please please expedite these airbag replacement/repairs so they can be done sooner. It is now january 2017 and this is a daily occurrence.

The inside front passenger door handle broke from under the door panel and became inoperable. This required the inside door handle to be replaced on or about 10/2009. Car was purchased new in oct. 2006, had less than 30,000 miles and was rarely occupied by anyone other than the driver I.e. The front passenger door was rarely used. Since then, both inside rear door handles are becoming difficult to operate and will most likely require replacement in the very near future. On or about 9/15/2014, the front inside passenger door handle which was previously replaced again became inoperable and had to be replaced on 10/2/2014. The front driver inside door handle broke and became inoperable on or about 9/30/2014 and was replaced also on 10/2/2014. The handles appear to be of very poor quality and do not hold up at all. If the rear doors were used more frequently, it would be necessary to replace them also at this time. Current car mileage is 92000 miles.

Driver's side door handle broke in the process I dislocated my finger. Door will not lock from inside or outside. Only way out is to either open the window (which is nearly impossible in michigan winters) or pull the lock open further at the same time that I pull the door handle. I have broken countless fingernails on my left hand because of this. The door pieces are so flimsy, you can tell that they are made out of very, very cheap plastic. Recall? Not only is this a nuisance, but it is a very high security issue if needing to get out of the car in a hurry.
