Consumer Description

My driver's side door would not open from the inside, I would have to have someone let me out from the outside. This is very dangerous and if I had not been in a safe spot to exit the car it could have been bad. There was no warning or damage to the car leading up to this. My mechanic said that he has had at least 3 other Ford fusions come in with the same problem. I have another friend who had the same issue with her Ford fusion and the dealer said that there was not a recall so there was nothing they could do.
