Consumer Description

Over the past few days driver side door would not open from the inside of the vehicle. Rolling down the window and opening the door from the outside is the only option in opening the driver side car door. This is a safety concern as if I were ever in need to exit the vehicle in an emergency manner I can not easily or quickly get out of the car we’re under water, on fire, etc. My vehicle is not the only vehicle that is having this issue, I have heard reports from mechanics, other Ford Fusion Drivers, and personal experience that Ford Fusions from about 2006-2013 are having this issue. The issue needs to be addressed for safety concerns and is only happening on the drivers side door.
