| Description of the problem | Two complaints: 1- door locks still freezing after being at the dealer for a recall to fix them. Fix did not work. 2- poor design on both side door mirrors. The small wide angle inset mirrors are set in too deep and angled improperly, that when adjusting the larger mirrors the view of the insets negates their purpose and causes a blind side area at a critical in the left passing lane witch is missed by both mirrors. I,ve tried repositioning them to alleviate this problem to no avail. This is a safety problem. Several close call accidents have been experienced.( mirrors were clean and unobstructed). Also they have virtually no overhang on the top and therefore are susceptible to snow ice and rain. Suggest increasing the top overhang area somewhat. The above is meant to be helpful observations to aid ford design and customer satisfaction and safety. Thank you for this opportunity to inform you of these matters.
