“My drivers side door handle was hanging up. 4 yrs ago it broke, replaced it 3 times over the next year. Gave up and just roll my window down and open it from the outside. Now my passenger door is doing it. Last week ran into somebody at the gas station who watched me roll my window down to get out and was laughing, said his Ford van same year does not work on passenger side. Met a man almost 3 yrs ago at Ford dealership walking with door handle in hand, same thing. I have met at least 6 or 7 people with the same problem in this year of Ford truck. …”
