NHTSA Complaint #10783802 — 2005 FORD FIVE HUNDRED

AFTER IT RAINED, THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW FREEZING. MY DOOR WAS DIFFICULT TO OPEN, BUT WOULD NOT CLOSE OR LATCH. IT WAS FROZEN OPEN. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THIS, BUT FORD DEALERS IN THE AREA SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY TO CARS IN THE SOUTH. A RECALL IS A RECALL. FIRST OF ALL, BOTH TN AND OK GET SNOW AND ICE, AND A RECALL IS A RECALL. IF I DECIDE TO MOVE BACK TO MAINE WITH THIS CAR, THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED FOR FREE? WHAT IF DECIDE TO GO SKIING IN COLORADO, BUT CANNOT LEAVE BECAUSE MY DOOR LATCHES FREEZE? *TR
