All of the interior door handles on my 2006 fusion with 72000 miles have cracked and are breaking. Normal use, but the handles are made of an inferior plastic with chrome colored coating. The result is that once breakage occurs, doors are only able to be opened using the outside handle and door locks have to be manually engaged. I am very concerned about ability to exit the car if in an accident. *tt
