I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I OPENED MY DOOR AND BEGAN TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. MY DAUGHTER'S KIDS THAT SHE NANNY'S WAS GETTING OUT OF HER VEHICLE AND HAD HER DOOR OPEN. BEFORE I COULD REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL MY TRUCK RAN INTO HER OPEN DOOR CREASING IT AND ALMOST CRUSHING THE BOY THAT WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE.

HAVE OWNED 4X4 TRUCKS (TOYOTA) SINCE 1984. AT A QUILCENE, WA AT RENTAL HOME ON SUNDAY. HEAVY SNOWS 2' OVERNIGHT. POWER FAILED IN BUILDING. NO HEAT SOURCE. COULD NOT DEPART AS BOTH DOORS WERE FROZEN SHUT. CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND TWO LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTERS. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP OR AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A 7900 MILE CAR WITH SALES STAFF THAT DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE FROZEN DOOR PROBLEM WHEN AUTO PURCHASED. HOW MANY INCIDENTS DOES NHTSA NEED TO RECALL OR DEMAND MANUFACTURER RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OR ARE SENIORS EXPENDABLE IN THIS COUNTRY?

WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT OVER THE WEEKEND. WE WERE T-BONES BY A BUS. IT WRECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET MY PURSE OUT I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. OUR F150 IS NOW BURNT TO A CRISP. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THAT TRUCK TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE LIKE THAT.
