| Description of the problem | Vehicle was parked with both drivers side door open. I was getting something out of the rear compartment when a gust of wind blew the drivers door suddenly causing the bottom corner of the door to strike me on the calf of my left leg. I was virtually disabled with pain and stiffness for two days and gradually improved with rest. The whole left calf was yellowish purple. I am back to about 80% now and he calf still shows the bruising but i hope to make a full recovery. This is not the first time something like this happened with this vehicle but it is the worst. The doors almost seem like sails in the wind, even as low as about 15 mph. There seems to be no damping on door action as i have seen on some other cars. I can imagine if a child had been standing where i was, injury could have been internal or to the head. I had intended to copy ford motor company on this matter but they do not seem to have any way to send them email, and i wanted to have a copy of whatever i sent. |
