2010 Ford F-150, 2 of my doors cannot be opened due to a defect of components in the handles. Ford does have a recall affecting the the same situation as mine, but according to my VIN# my vehicle is not included. This could be a deadly situation if needing to exit the vehicle through those doors. I will attach a copy of the recall and of my door handles.
My passenger side rear door is stuck closed. I have tried to open it from inside and outside and made sure it was not locked. I have removed the door panel inside as much as I could to try and pull the cable for the latch. Even pulling the cable to the lock actuator does not disengage the door latch. When I did this I noticed that the door handle spring had broken through the plastic that holds it in place. I tried to research this problem online and I noticed there was a recall for this exact issue. When I contacted Ford customer service they told me that my vehicle was not included in the recall and that it was VIN specific. I don't understand how there can be a safety issue warranting a recall, my vehicle has the same problems as those included in the recall yet mine is not covered. I asked why that would be and the csr only answered with his scripted response of 'this is a VIN specific recall'. despite this, I ordered a new door handle and waited for it to arrive hopefully thinking that it would solve the problem, however once the new handle was installed, the door still will not open.
Seatbelt chime/ alarm is defective. See all youtube videos showing so. Seatbelt light and chime continuously stay on and chime alarm continuously rings even while seatbelts are on & locked in position. This is very distracting and a dangerous situation for drivers attempting to make it go off/ work correctly while driving. This seatbelt chime is defective is both when driving / in motion and stationary. Body/windshield area structural defect- there is a hole/opening that allows rain/ water to leak into interior of truck, leaking water inside truck interior from upper build seam, through the grab handle located at side of windshield in front of front passenger, then liquid drips down onto carpeted floorboard. This body structure defective opening/ hole is located somewhere between upper windshield seam and the interior front passenger grab handle at windshield frame. Water drips through this handle. This windshield leak defect occurs when the truck is in motion and when stationary. Electrical/ignition switch- turning on track with ignition key, ignition switch does not always perform correctly. It often disallows the ac, the windshield wipers, and backup camera to work, while everything else is working. Because everything else may be working, the driver may not notice that the ignition switch has been turned on incorrectly.this defect, especially the back up camera not working, and windshield wipers, is dangerous. The switch should be made to consistently work at all times the same way. This defect is noticed when stationary, but often when it's too late and in motion.

The day I went to purchase this vehicle the dealership told me then there was an electrical problem that has caused the radio not to work. That they will fix it next day. I basically got the run around had there mechanic look at it he could not figure out what was wrong. I informed them that there is more then just the radio the air bag system does not work or show that it works. Also pointed out that chunks of metal was falling from the bottom of this every time I shut the door. Still nothing has been done. They used rustoleum bed liner to cover every inch under the truck. It is literally falling to pieces. 3 weeks go by after sending numerous emails on update when this will get fix and they tell me that they will not fix it because the co signer left a bad review. I have no working air bags. And I'm paying 15 thousand for this truck.

My passenger side interior door handle has just fractured, exactly as described in your NHTSA campaign id # 11V0490000. This was a recall of approximately 300,000 2009 and 2010 F 150's. when I enter my VIN on your site it does not come up, however I understand this is a potentially dangerous condition. Perhaps my production date falls outside of the recall dates, however my truck has the exact same safety issue, and only has 18,000 miles on it. Could you please advise me how to proceed, as I would like to have this corrected by a Ford dealer as soon as possible. Thank you.

Our 2010 Ford F150 is literally rotting away in the drive way both sides of the bed have rust through at 45,000 miles it started, the truck now has apprx 58,000 miles. We purchased a Ford because they were only the one of the big 3 us auto makers that didn't take the bail out from the taxpayers & we previously owned one. We have a 2008 hyundia with 102,000 miles no rust or holes, 2011 Chevy Silverado with 60,000 miles and a 2012 GMC Sierra 80,000 and no rust or holes. Ford has refused to repair the truck. This is a disgrace a truck with extremely low miles literally rotting away in the driveway. There will never be another Ford in our drive unless Ford steps up and fixes this. Our sons that own the Chevy & GMC are young and alot of vehicles to purchase in their lives, they are disgusted with the Ford also. Ford representative needs to see this truck!
