2006 FORD FUSION Equipment Problems

I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT THAT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT. I HAD TO GO TO THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THE INTERIOR REAR DOOR HANDLE HAS STARTED TO CRACK AT THE PIVOT POINT(SPRING RETURN ATTACHMENT POINT). THE BREAK CAUSES INTERFERENCE WITH THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BEZEL AND LIMITS TRAVEL OF DOOR HANDLE (DOOR WON'T OPEN). IT APPEARS THE SAME THING IS STARTING TO HAPPEN ON THE OTHER REAR DOOR. CAR ONLY HAS 85000 MILES. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN/MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WILL BE GOING TO FORD TO GET A REPLACEMENT WHICH I HOPE HAS HAD A DESIGN CHANGE TO FIX THIS. THE REAR DOORS HAD BEEN USED VERY LITTLE SO ITS NOT A USAGE ISSUE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR REAR PASSENGERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FUSION. IN JUNE OF 2008, THE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE RPM'S RAPIDLY INCREASED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE GARAGE; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AS WELL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

MY WINDSHIELD HAD SERIOUS DISTORTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GLASS. VARYING DEGRESS OF MAGNIFICATION CAUSED EYE STRAIN AND HEADACHES. IT WAS DANGEROUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION AND NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. MY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD ONLY TO HAVE THE NEW ONE BE EVEN WORSE. THE NEW WINDSHIELD IS SO BAD IT'S AS THOUGH I'M LOOKING THROUGH A WET WINDSHIELD THAT HAS NOT BEEN WIPED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE REPLACEMENT IS BAD AND THAT IT MIGHT BE INDICATIVE OF A LARGER PROBLEM. THEY PLAN ON CONTACTING FORD. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY ONE WEEK AT THE TIME OF TYPING THIS. *NM
