Consumer Description

INTERIOR DOOR LATCH (DRIVER'S DOOR) FAILS TO OPEN. I CANNOT GET OUT OF MY CAR WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. ALSO DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS LOCKED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS NHTSA SITE AND OTHER FORUMS WITH NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORD FUSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND INITIATE A RECALL IF WARRANTED ON THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCHES OF THE FORD FUSION. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN - ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE MUST GET OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY - ALSO LOCK FAILURE COULD BE SERIOUS SECURITY PROBLEM. *TR
