Fusion 4-cyl

  • 47,000 miles
Both front and rear interior door handles have failed. I am unable to exit the vehicle without lowering the window and opening from exterior. There is no visible evidence they have failed, they have just stopped working. You can convince the rear to work if you pull the handle and lock the same time. If I were to be involved in an accident, and the power failed, I would be unable to exit the vehicle at all. This vehicle is 3 years old with 47,000 miles and is now a potential death trap. The dealer says it is not covered, and I would have to pay for repairs. I am considering legal action, any vehicle that is inescapable shouldn't be on the highways. Worst of all, a quick search shows this to be an abundant problem with Fusion from 2006 on. There are numerous blog on this subject alone. I am afraid to Transport my family in this vehicle and have received no help!
