My driver side door will not open from the inside. Thru extensive research i have found that this seems to be an issue on the fusions years 2007- 2012 models. It seems to be that a crack forms in the handle causing the cable to come out of place. This happens when the car is stationary.

I was driving home from campus and my suspension started acting up. It started firing up and down and fluctuating a lot. I had to pull off the highway and take backroads. It was still acting up the entire time. The "check engine" light and "wrench" light both came on simultaneously. I could barely go over 35 mph without the rpm flaring up past 5000 and it felt like my whole engine was going to give out. Even when i…

The door handles keep breaking. They are made of junk plastic and i have had to replace 3 out of 4 door handles and the driver door 3 different times now. I also have a friend with a 2012 fusion with the same issue. Please recall these crappy parts ford!

When the abs is engaged, brakes go soft/are lost. This has happened 3 to 4 times so far. So when the abs activates, i lose about 80 percent of my braking capability and have to push the brake all the way to the ground for it to even slow down the car. It does not even stop the car, it just slows the car a little bit. The car then needs to be restarted for the brakes to work again. The most recent incident of this…

Takata recall the door handle on the care is broken which enables me to get out of the vehicle. Which to me is considered a death trap. I have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside or have someone open it for me. My air bag is also raising out of the passenger side. This scares me. On hot days i fear that it may just explode due to the heat. Which may be a hazard to others and i.

My dashboard is separating from the car. It is getting so bad that now it is separating from where the passenger air bag is at. The other issue is that i have in the passenger door an imploded airbag that has caused a bubble in my door. My car has not been in any form of accidents for either of these items to occur. As for my airbag that has been on recall for 21/2 years and has yet to be handled, yet my brother in…

This past week my car has been driving rough (sputtering) and seems to notice it more when driving on the highway but there are times while driving on city streets you can notice it (hear it and feel it) too. My tires are good, last year already had the pcm (major control module) replaced ($2,700) along with all the coils and spark plugs, and also pcu replaced and replaced my hcu ($1,500). So what the heck more can…

The drivers side door handle has broken once again...i replaced it last year and had to again this year...this is a safety hazard: as if i was to be involved in a car accident i would have to roll down the drivers window to be able to open the door. To my understanding ford has recalled a few of the newer models due to this issue..

The dashboard is bulging it doesn't look good and it doesn't feel safe. I wonder if it would activate correctly at an impact during an accident or if it would activate while riding down the road. It started on the right side passenger and it has slowly moved to the left side driver. This started happening over 2 years ago and it's slowly become worse. Ford needs to be held accountable for the fix this is cosmetic…

Cracking and creaking underneath when temp outside is above about 70 degrees, very loud, possible struts, when turning wheel left or right also very loud creak or pop. I looked online and there are 100's of these issues reported. This has to be a recall, safety issue

Dash on passenger side is pulling away from air bag, was so bad you could see the foam underneath. No recall dealer will not fix, i refuse to purchase a whole new dash. Used gorilla glue to hold it down, with the heat up here in far northern california it's starting to pull away again. Also due to the heat up here the defroster vent has broken and popped out of the dash. Using glue to hold it in place as well.

Drivers side door lock became inoperable. Drivers side door will not lock using the lock switch or the lock button on the key. The only way to let yourself out from the drivers side is to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. The only way to lock the drivers side door is with the actual key itself. This is very inconvenient and dangerous i feel if i were in an accident. Also, my 2008 fusions air…
