    Attempted to exit the drivers door to obtain fuel. Internal door latch failed and would not open door. Had to lower drivers window and use outer door latch to open door. I believe this to be a significant safety issue as it would hinder or prevent egress from the vehicle in the case of a fire or flood, especially if the electrical system were disabled. *tr

    I stopped the car to close the gas fill lid, engine running, went to get back in and all doors were locked, they locked themselves. It was over 90 degrees out, lucky i had my cell phone to call my wife to bring her keys so i could get back in. If my grandkids had been the car, it could have been a scary problem. *tr

    I own a 2010 ford fusion hybrid with 7,722 miles. Yesterday, while traveling on the interstate (in sd) at 80 mph, the right front door spontaneously opened. (there seemed to be a safety latch similar to one on the hood of a car, so it popped open and the interior "lock/unlock" switches opened but the door itself did not open any distance.) we checked the lock mechanism and also tried to recall if we could have done…

There have been four incidents with three different drivers since the car was delivered. The date below was the first incident. *tr
