Inside Door Handle Sprung!
So I was getting out of my 2009 Lariat when I pulled the inside driver's side door handle. I heard and felt a spring (or something springlike) pop and the handle started loosely flopping around in the frame. The door still opens fine but the handle is not snug/flush) against the door now.
Taking it in next week to see what happened.

Yeah i just had my doorhandle replaced b/c of the same thing! it took a full week for the dealership to get the handle and give me my truck! Its like it gets in a bind and then just snaps....it did it twice to me before i had a chance to take it in!

Looks like a lesson to be learned from this post...grab the supplied grip under the handle and not the handle itself eh....nice to know that these things are a little flimsy.

Interesting that I'm not alone. I think I'll make sure they get the parts ordered before I leave it with them. No way I'm going without for a week!

who knows what supplier ford selected for those components.
either a small part broke off of your handle interior, or the spring itself failed.
the components used are surprisingly simple- i would have thought that more strength would have been built into those items.

UPDATE! Based on what TCREAMER said about having to wait a week for parts, I decided to stop by the dealership yesterday and ask if they would have to order the parts needed. Surprise! Not only did they have the parts in stock, they went ahead and took the truck in and had it fixed in about an hour while I waited!
Where was this great service you might ask? North Central Ford in Richardson TX!
So I guess not all dealerships are created equal!
