2002 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE ACTIVATED AND PINCHED MY ARM IN THE DOOR LOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME, HOWVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS INSTANCE. I RECEIVED A BRUICE APPROXIMENTLEY 1 1/2" INCHES IN LENGTH AND 2 SMALL ABRASIONS. THIS IS AT LEAST MY 4TH FORD VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON. IT IS ABOUT 1" LONG AND HAS AN INDENTATION WITH RIDGES. THIS IS APPARENTLY WHAT PINCHED MY ARM. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE RIDGES SINCE THE BUTTON IS INSIDE THE DOOR WHEN LOCKED AND NO WAY TO USE THE INDENTATION TO PULL UP THE DOOR LOCK MANUALLY. IT THE LOCK BUTTON WAS MADE SMOOTH AND POSSIBLE TAPERED TOWARD THE TOP I BELIEVE IT WOULD GREATLY REMOVE THE HAZARD. IN ADDITION THIS WOULD NOT INPAIR THE ONLY USE THAT I CAN SEE FOR THE BUTTOM, TO PUSH IT DOWN FOR A MANUAL LOCK.*AK

MY COMPANY PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FOR ME TO WORK IN \ WITH TO PERFORM MY JOB. THE SEAT IS TOO HIGH. MY EYES ARE LEVEL WITH THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT'S IRATAITING TO LOOK THUR THE COLORED PART IN THE TOP PART OF THE WINDSHIELD. SEATING THIS HIGH UP ALSO CAUSES THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO BLOCK MY VISION IN THIS DITECTION. I CHECKED INTO GETTING A POWER SEAT BUT IT DOES NOT GO ANY LOWER. THE DEALER SAYS IS HE CHECKING THIS OUT. I ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WE CHECKED THE SEATS IN THE 2001 AND 2000 TRUCKS AND FOUND THAT THE HIGH SEATS STARTED IN 2001. THE SEATS IN THE 2000 TRUCK WERE JUST RIGHT. NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS OR IS IT JUST US? THANK YOU. *AK
