INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I WAS JUST OPENING MY DOOR TO GET OUT AND IT JUST QUIT OPENING AND NOT ENGAGING. I HAVE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN MY DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR EVERY-TIME. I HEARD THAT THIS WAS PART OF A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALL THE FORD DEALER HERE IN TOWN THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT I DID HERE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND ON THIS MODEL CAR ON THE NEWS RECENTLY. THE DEALER AT PATCHETTS FORD IN TURLOCK, CA SAID I NEEDED A RECALL NUMBER. PLEASE IF I CAN GET SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

RECENTLY I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS, THE INSIDE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE CEASED TO OPEN. WE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WERE TOLD BY THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THIS WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A COSMETIC REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED. I HAVE HAD 2 FORD FUSIONS A 2008 AND THIS 2012. BOTH CARS HAD THE INSIDE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BREAK. I DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE CARS. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS CAN BE A COSMETIC ISSUE, WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A FAULTY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. ALSO IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE I COULD GET THE HANDLE FIXED, AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I FEEL THIS MODEL CAR SHOULD BE...

AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE, DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. *TR
