The vehicle was parked in my driveway upon returning from errands. The next morning the power steering assist and the advancetrac system failure lights were on. This has happened before while driving and after parking at my workplace. Usually restarting the vehicle would correct the issue.

Driver side front door handle ceased operation. The door will not open from the inside of the vehicle, but will open from the outside. I contacted my local ford dealership about this and they stated they have replaced many of these, but it is not on a safety recall at this time. The repair cost is approximately $170. I consider this a severe safety issue due to not being able to open the driver's door in the event…

The inner driver side door handle broke suddenly when trying to exit the vehicle. The handle made a pop sound and we were unable to get out. Once we had the chance to look at what happened, we noticed that pulling open the handle at the same time as the lock engaged the latch. The vehicle was parked at the time of the handle breaking, and the motor was turned off.
