Description of the problem | While dropping off my child at preschool, the van's sliding door detached from the vehicle and fell sideways onto the grass. I have taken it to the ford repair shop here, and they have told me i am responsible for the $200 repair. My feeling is that a sliding door to a five-year-old van should not just be falling off, and that we are all very lucky my little boy was not standing beside it when it did. |
