Description of the problem	In november 2008 i purchased a 2006 lincoln zypher with 28000 miles. At this time the passenger back interior door handle was broken. The dealer argued with me but fixed the item. One year later in the fall of 2009, the drivers side back seat handle also broke and would not open from the inside. Passengers had to roll down the window and pull the handle from the outside to open the door. If the car is not running you are trapped. Feb 2012, the drivers side handle also broke, last night march 30 2012 the passenger handle broke. I just spent two hours online and found nearly 1400 other ford/lincoln owners claiming the same malfunction of the interior door handles becoming disabled. If the vehicle has no power you are unable to exit if the window is up. This seems to be a huge safety issue. Ford/lincoln needs to repair the broken handles and change the design or increase the quality. I guess someone will have to die first before the company takes responsiblity for their cheap unsafe design and mechanical failure. *js
