door handle issue

Does anyone have the door handle issue? Where it won't retract all the way? Mine going in with 1100 miles to have them take pictures and replace the handle!

Mine did that as well. Dealer will replace under warranty. Have both sides done at the same time.

I have heard this was an issue, your dealer will resolve it thru warranty.

I have had my driver side replaced twice and passenger side once. The handle was supposed to have been re-engineered with a better return spring, but with almost a year between the first two replacements and the third, I'm not so sure. It is most definitely a warranty item.

it is a common problem with that style of handle. it is also not limited to fords. i see it pretty often on other cars.

My passenger side does that, I didn't realize it was a common problem. Next oil change I need to have that fixed as well as the pony on my steering wheel that looks all oxidized.

That's the only warranty issue I've had in 2-1/2 years. My dealer painted the new handle and gave it to me to install myself. I don't trust them or any dealer. It's not the spring that fails, it's the plastic that spreads apart and allows the spring pivot pins to pop out of their holes in the plastic.

It's kind of a $h1+ job though. You have to pull the glass and things are kind of tight.
