problem #6

2000 Taurus drivers door handles failed. Several times, while the vehicle was still covered under it's extended warranty, the consumer had to have the driver' S door open on the vehicle. The dealer claimed that moisture got into the locks. The dealer sprayed the locks. During the winter of 2004 and 2005 the consumer had to hold the door while driving until the lock thawed enough to close properly. The consumer also had a problem with the rear driver's side door not unlocking. Now all four door handles are not working properly.
