    I had a passenger in the rear passenger side seat that could not open the door to get out. I had to go to the outside door handle to open the door. On inspection it appears the interior rear door handle has started to crack at the pivot point(spring return attachment point). The break causes interference with the rear door handle bezel and limits travel of door handle (door won't open). It appears the same thing is…

    When i was driving 55 mph, the car did a little jerk like it had missed. No lights came on and i drove to the nearest side road off the highway and stopped. I tried to go further but only made it about 100 yards because i lost all power including steering. My car was half in the road so i was thankful this was not a high traffic road. The engine light came on and there was a smell. It wasn't the smell of oil but was…

    While drive my 2006 ford fusion the driver's side lumbar support broke. This caused me to immediately drop back in my seat and was very distracting.

    Since we've owned our 2006 ford fusion we have had to replace the door handle for the passenger and both back passenger seats multiple times. Once these handles fail (randomly with no warning) they cannot be operated from the inside. This requires getting someone to open the door from the outside. We fear that in an accident we might become trapped. It's my understanding that i'm not alone with this issue with our…

They even sued me in court for trying to get my car fix. But i won the case, and now they…
