This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
2000 Taurus drivers door handles failed. Several times, while the vehicle was still covered under it's extended warranty, the consumer had to have the driver' S door open on the vehicle. The dealer claimed that moisture got into the locks. The dealer sprayed the locks. During the winter of 2004 and 2005 the consumer had to hold the door while driving until the lock thawed enough to close properly. The consumer also had a problem with the rear driver's side door not unlocking. Now all four door handles are not working properly.
The outside mirror on drivers door has started falling off. The doors on drivers side are very hard to shut. The car is beginning to shake when drive. I feel like this car has been wrecked before.
Reporting a safety issue concerning vehicle left running with key in ignition switch and doors locked. Unable to unlock door with remote opener. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that it was a safety feature, and nothing could be done.
