The blower motor connector and blower motor resistor will melt with use, which causes smoking to come from the passenger side flood under the glove box. Is not safe and i have replaced 3 times since 2014. It can happen while sitting and driving, does not matter. I have reached out to ford they must not care because i have been told its not their problem, or to get over it.

Faulty driver's side door latch will not open from the inside. The vehicle was parked. After climbing out the passenger side door and walking around the car the driver's door did open from the outside. Ford lists a recall for 2013-2014 fusion, but not earlier years. An internet search shows i am not the only 2011 owner with this safety issue.

When closing the drivers side door it won't latch closed. The door bumps back without closing. It takes at least two attempts to close the door. This started when leaving the vehicle and trying to close the door. It takes several attempts to properly close the door from the inside. I have not driven the vehicle since this started.

The interior door handle of my 2011 ford fusion will not open. Not only is this an inconvenience, it's also dangerous. In an accident every second counts. If you can't escape your vehicle the results could be fatal. I researched online and found that the door handle problem is prevalent with 2006-2012 fusions, as evident by the number of complaints. There is even a work around trick posted. The service department at…

Driver's side inside door handle stopped working. Cannot get out using the drivers door. Must climb out passenger's side or roll down window and open from outside. Apparently this is a very very common problem. Why no recall? This is clearly a safety issue.

My wife upon returning home could not open the driver's door. I had to open from the outside of the car. I later read that this has happened to a number of people and one temporary solution is to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. I also have read that 2010, 2013 and 2014 ford fusions have been recalled for this problem but not 2011. I have however found that a number of owners of 2011 fusions…
