Came back after the strike and was told that since the vehicle is at 36,800 miles they would not cover it, even though they had info that I was there before the warranty ran out. They did remove the part so it would not break the glass but it left the door sagging and out of alignment.

Defect Description:
STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
At around 66,000, I opened the driver's side door and noticed a popping sound when the door opened wide. I investigated a bit and noticed the door welds were cracked. The workaround was to only open the driver's side door slightly when entering and exiting. Then the driver's side window began behaving erratically. It could lower slightly but then may roll back up or roll all the way down without human intervention. Then, if it was lowered, you may have to help guide the window back up to the top using the button and pulling the window upward. I do not know if this issue affects the integrity of the door, and if it is at risk of becoming dislodged. I took it to Ford who wanted to charge me to replace the door, which I have not yet done. There is a communication number and an NHTSA ID number, but so far Ford is not doing the right thing by having a recall for this defective engineering and safety issue. NHTSA ID Number: 10201603 Manufacturer Communication Number: SSM 50150
