STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAS A CRACK IN THE METAL AND WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE ADVISED ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO RECALL FORD HAS ENGINEERED A "DOOR REPAIR KIT" AND THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX THIS DEFECT FOR A COST OF $675.63. IF THIS IS NOT A DEFECT THEN JUST WHY WOULD FORD MAKE THIS DOOR REPAIR KIT? THIS IS A SEPARATION OF METAL AND THE CONCERN WE HAVE IS IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT WHAT WILL KEEP THIS DOOR FROM POSSIBLY CAUSING A DEATH. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TURNS A DEAF EAR. HOW DO WE GET THIS PROBLEM TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A DEFECT BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY? I KNOW IF YOU PUT THE QUESTION TO THE PUBLIC IN REGARDS TO HOW MANY FORD FULL SIZE TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM YOU WILL HAVE A MAJOR RESPONSE. DT
