| Since the purchase of my 1999 ford explorer in 2003, my driver's door has always given me trouble when using the key to unlock it. recently, the lock stopped working with the remote and i was forced to open the front door by reaching from the back door. after using that method for a while, my interior handle is now permanently broken and the door will not open from either side. this is a safety concern and an inconvenience. *nm | |||

| Hood would not open. after 2 hours of working on the latch through the grille, i finally was able to open the hood. after buying a replacement from my local ford dealer,$68.00, and replacing the corroded latch, the new one worked fine. for now. *ak | |||

| The factory pressurized cylinders that hold the hood open have failed. i have narrowly averted injury when the hood came falling down. i feel that this is a safety issue and a possible design defect. i plan to replace them, but i am concerned that the manufacturer's replacement could be similarly unsafe.*ak | |||
