I parked my car and went to open the drivers side door and the interior handle no longer works. In order to open the door I have to roll down the window to open the door, roll the window back up and then exit and lock the car. This is a safety concern in case of emergency and the extra time needed to exit the vehicle.

Trying to exit the car, the door handle snapped back while opening. After trying to open again the door latch is no longer connected to the opening mechanism. I can no longer open my door from the inside which would inhibit my exit in an emergency.
- Katy, TX, USA
I take very good care of my care and I always open my car door very gently. However, I just realized that the driver's side interior door lock is broken. I cannot open the car from the inside, instead, I have to roll the windows door and use the outside handle to open the door. I did research on the internet and there are alot of people who are complaining about the issue. I have a 2011 Ford Fusion SE with around 52,000 miles and I recently bought the car. I did order a new replacement for the interior door handle. There should be a re-call for this problem.
