Escape XTL 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 155,343 miles

my outside door handle stopped working

Everything else on my door works but had to run a string up to my visor inside from the inside door handle to the back door so i could open the back door and pull the ripcord to open my damn door. Talk about embarrassing. I live in Stratford,Ont. and my mechanic finally found an aftermarket one out in Calgary,Alberta. Still by the time it got here and installed it was $500.00. If I had purchased Ford's it would have probably cost me $700. If I knew this car was going to cost me around $3000 a year in maintenance and repairs after the warranty ran out I would have never bought it in 2009.
