The driver side inside door handle has broken the linkage behind the door panel. This causes the door not to be able to open from the inside of the vehicle. There are hundreds of owners experiencing the same thing. If I needed to evacuate my vehicle, I cant, and could cause my death...

I was a passenger in a 2010 Ford Fusion and was in the front passenger seat and another person was in the right rear passenger seat. I was exiting the car and because the door had opened to far, I used my hands to pull myself out of the car. At the same time, the passenger in the right rear seat was in the process of opening their door and exiting. Due to the close proximity of their door edge (approximately 1/16 inch) and the car itself, a finger tip on my right hand was completely amputated when the door was opened. I was taken by ambulance to hospital where surgery was performed.

The chrome on the interior door handles of this 2010 Ford Fusion is peeling. There is a Ford tsb on this issue as well as NHTSA item number - 10039156 which I have found online. As a result of this chrome peeling my son sustained a cut on his finger. I have contacted Ford and they will not pay for either the parts or the labor to address this known defect. I would like to file a complaint against Ford regarding this issue with the hope that they will address this.

- Westerville, OH, USA
Three out of four interior door handles have broken. The driver's side door will not lock.
- Hartman, AR, USA
A crack appeared on the driver side door interior handle. The door would not lock. Door can be opened at high speed and can also be opened when locked with the key fob. I am concerned the latch handle will break and I will not be able to open the door from the inside. The car cannot be secured against potential theft. This is a serious manufacturing issue and could be easily corrected through a recall.

2010 Ford Fusion sel. Customer writes in regards to continued transmission problems. The consumer stated the transmission would slip harshly and hesitate on acceleration. The recall repair did not correct the transmission problems. It was determined that the valve body and solenoid body were defective. Also, one of the tires was leaking air, there was an issue with the traction and brakes. There were noises coming from the front of the vehicle. The steering wheel would not lock into place, the cd player did not work at times, the driver side visor did not stay in place, the gas over flow tube was inoperative, the vehicle would pull hard when the brake was applied. The rear driver's side door had to be slammed extremely hard, in order to close it. The driver's side seat belt was backwards. The passenger side windshield wiper dragged on the windshield and the vehicle would sometimes surge on its own. Each time the consumer went to the dealer about certain problems, she was told no problems were found.

The interior door handle on the drivers side door (and other doors as I have read), breaks at the point of contact with the spring release. Once the handle has broken the door cannot be opened from the inside. Occupants must roll down a window and open the door from the outside, effectively trapping the occupant inside the vehicle should the windows not roll down.
- Alliance, OH, USA
