Default Anyones door handle sticking?

Mine has been sticking since I got it about a month ago. I took it to ford, where they said there was some sort of a recall on it. They printed out this "how-to" on it, and supposedly fixed it. Now it's better than it was before, but it still sticks. No where as smooth as the passengers. I tried shootin' a lil WD40 in it, but it's the actual mechanism that's not aligned right, or at least i'm assuming. Anyone else have this problem?

Never had the problem, but do you mean it sticks open or that it sticks and won't open w/o a hard pull?

No it sticks open. For example, if the door is locked, and you pull the handle, it will not go back unless you push it back in.

Yeah, my driver door handle kinda doesnt go back into position when you open the door. I just have to push it back in....it's annoying.

I have the same problem on the passenger side door. It is annoying but not enough to spend money to fix it

Anyone know where you can get a hold of the documents ford gets on stuff like this? Seriously, the guy at the ford house was connected to some sort of ford internal website, typed in "handle" and out popped this page with specific instructions to fixing it.

i have the same problem only that my driver side is just loose and wiggles, then my passenger side sticks out
like you shut the door then it pops out just a little bit

It's only a matter of resetting a spring inside the door... I never got around to fixing mine. But I know it's a simple yet time consuming fix.

this is the first I've heard of this one...is it a specific year(s)? mine's a 2005 and the doors seem to work pretty good (knock on wood)
