2012 FORD FUSION Structurebody Problems

THE DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE.THIS WAS INSIDE THE DOOR.THIS WOULD NOT LET ME LOCK THE DOOR .WHILE TRAVELING THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK AND IT CAME OPEN.THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OTHER FORD VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED NOW.I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO YOU 06,2015.I RECED. NO REPLY FROM YOU AND FORD MADE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIR.THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME.IN MAY,2016 THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR.I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND THEY COVERED THE REPAIR FOR THIS DOOR ONLY.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE FUSION IS NOT COVERED LIKE THE OTHER FORDS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM!

FAILURE OF INSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO FACILITATE OPENING OF DOOR WILL PROHIBIT TIMELY EGRESS OF VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND REAR PASSENGER'S INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN, RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. THESE FAILURES OCCURRED DURING NORMAL USE AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS OPENED LESS THAN AN INCH OUT OF THE LOCKED POSITION AT THE TIMES OF FAILURE. DUE TO THE BENCH SEAT NOT PROHIBITING EGRESS OUT THE OTHER REAR DOOR, THIS COMPLAINT WAS NOT ISSUED DURING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILURE. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE HAS JUST BROKEN.

SO WITH IN THE PASS WEEK OF 8/8/2016 THRU 8/13/2016. I HAVE HAD A WRENCH LIGHT COME ON 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND CAR ALMOST SHUT OFF, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. SO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP AND GO ON. HOWEVER, ITS BECOMING A PROBLEM AND COME TO FIND OUT THIS MAYBE THROTTLE CONTROL/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. SOMEBODY GONNA GET HURT, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT GONNA CUT OUT ON YOU. ALSO BOTH DOOR LATCHES WILL NOT EITHER OPEN OR LOCK FROM THE INSIDE. CAUSING EXISTING ISSUE.

JULY 15,2016 MY 2012 FORD FUSION, WITH 30,212 MILES JERKED AND STALLED. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TO RESTART AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER ON JULY 18 WAS TOLD IT SOUNDED LIKE THE EMISSION THROTTLE BUT HAVE TO RUN TEST I NEED TO PAY 115.00 THAT WOULD GO TOWARD THE REPAIR HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT SHE STATES IT'S ON ME.

I WAS UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM INSIDE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP NEITHER WITH ENGINE OFF NOR WITH KEY ON. I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY MALFUNCTION. THE LATCH NO LONGER WORKS FROM INSIDE.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE ALMOST IN THE IDENTICAL SPOT ON A 2009 AND 2012 FORD FUSION I OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT MY HOME WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED WITH NORMAL PRESSURE TO OPEN THE DOOR . THIS PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM OPENING AND OR BEING LOCKED. THE 09 HAD APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES AND THE 2012 HAD APPROX 65K MILES AND HAPPENED ON 6/21/2016. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND DESIGN FOR IT TO HAPPEN ON BOTH VEHICLES I OWN WITH THE EXACT PART NUMBER AND I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT COULD HAPPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT PREVENTING THE DRIVER FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVERS DOOR.

MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME LAST NIGHT. IT CAUSED ME TO MESS UP MY FRONT END. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT A RECALL, BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY VIN, I FOUND OUT IT HAD A OPEN CASE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT... PLEASE HELP

PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, SHUT OFF ENGINE, TRIED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. INSIDE DRIVER'S DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM BROKE, AND FAILED TO UNLATCH THE DOOR. HAD TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN AND USE THE EXTERIOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE TIME IT TOOK TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE INSIDE DRIVER'S DOOR RELEASE HAS BROKEN IN THE SAME WAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

DOORS FAIL TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED FAIL TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. MUST PULL LOCK TAB AND HANDLE TO UNLATCH DOOR. HANDLE STOPS JUST SHORT OF RETURNING TO ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER OPENING DOOR. HANDLE CAN BE PUSHED IN AND THE DOOR WILL LOCK WHEN THE ELECTRICAL LOCKING BUTTON IS PUSHED.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED. I COULD NOT CLOSE IT FROM THE INSIDE. I HAD TO STOP REALIZED IT WOULD CLOSE AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER AND HAD THE LATCH REPLACED FOR $209.87

AT 50,000 MILES THE LEFT FRONT INSIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE COULD CREATE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUBMERGED AND THE POWER WINDOWS WERE NO LONGER OPERATIONAL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS DOOR HANDLE FAILURE WHILE PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THE FORD PART # IS 1 60FOZ04.

HOOD LATCH HAS BROKEN AFTER 40K MILES CAUSING THE HOOD TO OPEN ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING.

ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2015 I WAS ON MY WAY TO A FUNERAL TRAVELING ON 695 IN OWINGS MILLS MARYLAND AND EXPERIENCED THE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE TRYING TO STEER BACK THE STEERING WHEEL DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND ALSO THE TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WAS ALWAYS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD STICK OR SOMETIMES HARD TO PUT BACK IN PLACE. FROM THIS MY CAR WAS TOTALLED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FUSION HOME FROM WORK AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I RESUMED DRIVING WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING, JUST TOTAL POWER STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND FORD HAS RECALLED HALF A MILLION VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY MODEL WASN'T INCLUDED. IT MAKES DRIVING TERRIFYING.

ON 06/25/2015 ,I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALER TO HAVE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISM REPAIRED..I WAS TRAPPED IN MY CAR AND I COULD NOT GET OUT.THEY REPAIRED IT AT MY COST,INV254478,$174.14.WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER SAFETY DEFECT.THE DOOR COULD NOT BE LOCKED AND IN A ACCIDENT THE DOOR COULD FLY OPEN.ON 08/17/2015 THE OTHER DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND I WAS ADVISED BY JOE ALVARADO THAT THE SAFETY DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED PAST 30,000 MILES.I COULD NOT ENTER PART.

I OWN A FORD FUSION 2012 WITH ABOUT 95,000 MILES ON IT. NO OTHER ISSUES SINCE ITS PURCHASE IN NOVEMBER 2014. WEEKS AGO I STARTED THE CAR, AND THE POWERSTEERING ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ON, COULD NOT MOVE CAR. STEERING LOCKED. READ THE MANUAL FOR CAR. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON. PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE COLD WEATHER OR ICE BLOCKING A SENSOR. HOWEVER INTERMITTENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL TRIES OF ON/OFF TO GET THE CAR TO BECOME DRIVABLE. ALSO NOW IT SOMETIMES SAYS ADVANCETRAC SERVICE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN SO I, A TALL PERSON, NEED TO TRY TO CLIMB OVER THE SEAT AND GET OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INTO TRAFFIC. HAVING ONES CAR NOT START UP IN A CITY SUCH AS MINE IS DANGEROUS FOR SINGLE WOMEN AT NIGHT WHO MIGHT BE ALONE. SO...

UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM INTERIOR DUE TO DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTION. *TR

DRIVING POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON STEERING BECAME HARD COULDN'T TURN WHEEL HIT A SNOW MOUND DAMAGED FRONT BUMPER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FUSION MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS TURNING CAUSING ME TO SIDE SWIPE MY DOOR AGAINST A POLE. *TR

ALL 4 CENTER CAPS/HUB CAPS WERE LOOSE AND 2 FELL OFF WHILE I WAS CLEANING THE TIRES. FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL 4 PLASTIC CENTER CAPS. PART NUMBER 9E5Z 1130A. *TR

I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT HIT HEAD ON DRIVER FRONT BY ANOTHER DRIVER GOING APPROX 45MPH, CLEAR CONDITIONS. COLLISION FORCED OFF ROAD AND I HIT PARKED SUV WITH MY FRONT PASSENGER FRONT. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OCCURRED DURING EITHER HIT, SELF BELT DID NOT LOCK, I WAS FORCED UPWARD HITTING MY HEAD ON INSIDE ROOF HANDLE ABOVE DRIVER DOOR, THEN THROWN FORWARD HITTING MY CHIN ON STEERING WHEEL. I WAS KNOCK UNCONSCIOUS FOR 3-4 MINUTES, FRACTURED FRONT TOOTH, DISLOCATED JAW, SUFFERED OPTIC NERVE INJURY, CONCUSSION, BACK AND NECK INJURIES. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE INITIAL BODY SHOP REPORT DID INDICATE THE AIR BAG MODULES HAD TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AFTER IT WAS DETERMINED THE REPAIRS COST MORE THAN THE VEHICLE WAS WORTH. DAMAGE INCLUDE ENTIRE FRONT END, HOOD, BROKEN, WINDSHIELD, RADIATOR, ENGINE, UNDERBODY, DRIVER DOOR, REAR DOOR REAR BUMPER AND ROOF. AIR BAGS WERE STILL INTACT....

THIS PARTICULAR AUTOMOBILE HAS A FACTORY INSTALLED REAR DECK LID WING. IT IS SECURED TO THE DECK LID USING FOUR BOLTS THROUGH THE SKIN OF THE DECK LID. THE BOLTS ARE EACH BONDED INTO A PLASTIC PLUG, AND EACH PLUG IS THEN BONDED INTO THE PLASTIC STRUCTURE OF THE WING. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WITH AN OPEN REAR DECK LID. WHEN THE REAR DECK LID WAS CLOSED, THE BOLTS SECURING THE END OF THE WING AT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEPARATED FROM THEIR PLASTIC INSERTS, RESULTING IN THAT END OF THE WING BEING NO LONGER SECURED. HAD THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS AT SPEED, THE RESULT MAY HAVE BEEN COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE WING FROM THE CAR. ANYONE TRAVELING BEHIND THE CAR WITH THIS OCCURRING WOULD CERTAINLY ATTEMPT EVASIVE ACTION, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HAVING OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS MANY VEHICLES...

AT A VERY LOW SPEED, WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED WHILE LIGHTLY BREAKING AND WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING IMPACT TO ANOTHER CAR. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN TWICE AND CUT MY FINGER TWICE IN LESS THAN 36,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I CAN ONLY BARELY OPEN THE DOOR NOW. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. THE DOOR HANDLE PLASTIC IS TOO WEAK TO OPEN THE DOOR AND WHEN IT FLEXES THE CHROME PLATING SPLITS OPEN AND CUTS THE DRIVER'S FINGERS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE DOOR IS AN EMERGENCY EXIT. THE DOOR HANDLE SHOULD NEVER BREAK IN THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR. THE EXTERNAL DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL PLASTIC AS WELL AND COULD ALSO EASILY BREAK. DON'T CALL. I WON'T GET ANY MESSAGES. *TR

HANDLE DOESN'T RETURN FULLY TO NEUTRAL POSITION. WHEN LOCK IS ENGAGED DOOR CAN STILL BE OPENED. *TR
