The driver side door latch is broken and is not latching which means the door is not closing. I discovered this when parking my car, exiting like i have done the entire time i've had my car, coming back, opening the door, and going to close it and it not latching. I thought something was in the door frame preventing it from closing but upon looking closely, the latch is freely moving and not locking with the door…

This occurred june 2018 as i was attempting to get out of my car at my home. While doing research on this problem i noticed that many fusion owners have had this same problem. Additionally, other ford vehicles(2013-15 ford cmax & ford escap, 2012-15 ford focus, 2015 ford…

The drivers door handle was fixed that was covered by a recall. However, now both front door handles are broken and the waterford, michigan dealeership where we purchased it says the cost is about $140.00 each to fix. How can a recall be completed when the same problem keeps reoccuring?

My driver side door is no longer operational from the inside. This happened while i was parked. You can roll down the window (if it's not frozen shut) and reach to the outside to unlatch from the handle. This creates a safety issue.

I had only had my car for 6 months before 3 of the 4 interior door handles broke. Now, in order to get out of the car, i must put the window down, reach out and open the door, and then put the window back up. This has also affected several coworkers that have 2010 ford fusions as well. They appear to be made very cheap using plastic. That isn't going to work and need it to be more reliable for longetivity purposes.…

The door latch has a broken spring tab potentially resulting in a condition where the door will not latch. This also prevents the driver from opening the door to get out as teh door handle no longer functions. This broken condition is at all times of operating the vehicle. Based on an internet search this is a widely common safety defect for 2006 - 2010 ford fusions, mercury and lincoln sister models
