I went to get out of my car when i got home from work on friday and my inside door handle broke. Luckily i was parked and at home when this occurred. This could have been bad if it was a situation where i had to get out of the car in a hurry and was not able to. I think ford should offer a recall on this problem cause this could be a deadly situation. *tr

Dash pad has separated at edge of passenger airbag. Car has not been in any crashes or any abnormal rough treatment. Dealer looked at dash and said it was not covered by warranty. This car has been well taken care of, 1 owner car, scheduled service done at the dealership only. This seems to be a defect that the dealer should fix. *tr

Inside door handle became inoperative requiring window to be lowered to open door from outside handle. Dealer installed new door handle due to internal handle cable retainer breaking. This part failure creates a very unsafe condition preventing a fast exit from vehicle in an emergency situation. This is unacceptable. *tr

The paint began to fade off the hood to a white color. You can barely see any red now. The rest of the pint looks mint. I take very good car as it is my baby. This issue began when it was only 2 years old. I have always owned fords. I own 3 now. Ford, you owe me a hood paint job. *tr
