2010 Ford F-150 Body & Structure Problems

Foil finish peeling off of interior chrome door handle. Very very sharp edges. Cut finger

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.
