Consumer Description

The front left drivers door check guide bracket spot welds have separated from the door frame resulting in the door not opening and closing properly,the window will not roll down or up with the door closed .The door can only open about half way and doesn't shut properly without using unexcusable force .The spot-welds are clearly broken because there are 3 holes in the door where the door check mounting bracket is spot welded to the door shell .If I need to get in or out of the vehicle very fast in an emergency,the door may not open enough for me to get in or out or may not even open at all.If I need to roll down the window with the door shut in an emergency situation I will not be able to,I would have to break the window to escape danger.Ford needs to be responsible for fixing this problem that is clearly a manufacturing defect .A recall by Ford is due immediately to fix this dangerous issue.
