Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Both back doors of my 2001 ford escape: i do not use my back doors very often since there are only 2 members of my household. i unlocked then tried to open both back doors, both were stuck shut, the handles were loose on the outside. it was not a freezing cold night. i locked and unlocked the doors a bunch of times, then tried to open again. they finally opened, but would not latch shut. the outside handle doesn't seem to be attached to the in door mechanism. my husband finally got the doors to stay shut. i have not opened them since. i am afraid they might open while driving! *nm
