"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.

WHILE DRIVING IF THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED BY A SLICK ROAD SURFACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUBSEQUENTLY GOES TO THE FLOOR FOR SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT APPLICATIONS. WE NORMALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUMP THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO GET THE PEDAL BACK TO NORMAL. THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY DURING ALL OTHER NORMAL USE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY INFORMING ME OF SEATBELT ISSUE AFFECTING MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO LOCAL LINCOLN//MERCURY/FORD DEALER, PARTS NOT YET AVAILABLE SIX MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, I AM RELUCTANT TO USE THE VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS AN OLDER VEHICLE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN REGION, WHEN MIGHT I EXPECT THE PART(S) TO BE AVAILABLE?

WELL WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS ON THE HIGHWAY, WE WENT TO PASS A CAR THAT WAS SLOW. WE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE (BECAUSE EVERYONE IF FLYING THROUGH THERE). BUT, AS THAT HAPPENED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SENT THE RPMS TO A REALLY SCARY AREA WHERE WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. LUCKILY, THEY CAME BACK DOWN BUT AS WE WOULD DRIVE UNTIL IT STOPPED. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE FIGURED OUT IF WHEN THAT HAPPENED IF WE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR A WHILE THEN. SO, TO ME IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE WE WENT TO AN AS-E CERTIFIED SHOP AND HAD THE COMPUTERS FLASHED THEN REPROGRAMMED AND IT STILL DOES IT WHILE DRIVING. *TR
