Consumer Description

MY DOOR LOCKS ON ONE OR MULTIPLE DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK BY ANY MEANS, REPEATEDLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. I DID TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN TWIN FALLS, IDAHO AND THEY WOULDN'T FIX ANYTHING UNTIL I COULD PROVE IT. I DID DRIVE TO THE DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEY VERIFIED THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND FAILED. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW TO GET OUT. THEY REPLACED ALL OF MY DOOR LOCKS ON WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE 58K MILES ON MY CAR, NO WARRANTY AND I AM HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I WERE TO WRECK, OR THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE, HOW WOULD I GET MY GRAND KIDS OUT OF THE CAR? HOW WOULD I ESCAPE? WOULD IF MY WINDOWS WHICH ARE ELECTRICAL FAILED ALSO? I AM LOCKED IN MY CAR AND SO ARE MY PASSENGERS. WHAT EVER PARTS THEY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AREN'T ANY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONES. *TR
