“I own a 2009 Ford f150 xlt 4 door. Since engaging the child safety feature to the lock position, I have not been able to open either door from the inside or the outside. I have since switched back the unlock position and both rear doors will not open. Passengers can not exit the vehicle in an emergency situation and is a safety hazard.”

In other words unintended accerlation. The engine rpms went very high and the truck went very fast in reverse hitting my garage wall and my father who unfortunately was in the way.

NHTSA complaint #10945081, filed 2017-01, 30,000 miles“First the right rear door shows that the door is ajar so the interior lights stays on while driving for about ten miles before they go out and when you stop the vehicle and get out the lights stay on for about 20 minutes so it runs the battery down. Second thing is the drivers door handle don't return to the closed position it stays half way out and a piece of plastic fell out of door handle I contacted the Ford company about these problems and I was told that they were nothing they could do about the problems. I myself think that these problems are a safety problem and very aggravating”
