Rear side interior door handles will not work. Rear side doors from the inside will not open. I have taken to dealer 5 plus times. Each time the doors have been supposedly fixed, only to fail weeks and months later.

Mountaineer 8-cyl

The internal door lock mechanism located in the rear doors broke. The handle to the locks would not open or close. The dealership was aware of the problem. The consumer stated that this failure occurred under normal use and could be a problem in future Mountaineer.
