The drivers side door locking mechanism has broke and the door will not close. We had to use a bungee cord to driver it to the repair shop and now they are telling us, 450$ to fix it. Very scary drive with the door not engaged.
2007 Ford Fusion locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driver side, rear door opened, passengers exited. I, myself, closed the door behind them and the door simply flew back open. Door will not latch. Door will not shut. Not manually, not by key. Locking mechanism on car will not work. I had to drive home in the back seat and literally hold the door shut so that my passengers would not fall out of the car. I have 3 children and one on the way. I cannot sit in the back and hold the door shut if I need to use the car. Car is well maintained, all service's done strictly by ford. I was quoted a price range of $3-400 to get it fixed.
While l was driving on wet pavement with the speed control engaged and set to 35 MPH, I rounded the top of a hill and the vehicle began to speed up as usual. I applied the brakes lightly to maintain 35 MPH and the speed control failed to disengage and spun the left front tire until black smoke was rolling out from under the fender. It lasted a few seconds before it released. I had a ford dealer check the brakes to see if the left front caliper had a problem and they did not find a problem. They also had no solution for the speed control failing to disengage. Note: the daytime phone is useless since I am assigned to another building at work away from the phone on my desk. Updated 01/28/14*lj I contacted ford once again after the third throttle problem. The third time involved the speed control burning rubber on a wet road after I applied the brakes to maintain speed going down hill with the speed control set for 35. Their response was to ignore the problem as usual. They didn't do anything for any of my complaints even when the car was under warranty. The dealer would not ever replace a broken plastic door handle in the inside until it broke off completely. After they replace it with another plastic handle the spring cut through the plastic again, but I realized that the piece of plastic the broke off was still in the recessed area for the handle and would have caused it to break off completely again if I had not removed it. The chrome also pealed off and cut my fingers again so I scraped it off the top of the handle. They still haven't changed the design of that. For over $21,000 that I paid for the car, they could have at least made one out of aluminum.
Without warning or any known cause, the driver side door lock mechanism is jammed, thus preventing me from exiting the vehicle. I have to take down the electronic window on that door, and pull the handle from the outside. This is a serious safety issue that prevents me from immediately getting out if the car in case of emergency, especially when I'm carrying my 10-year-old daughter to and from school or extracurricular activities. I have checked online, and this seems to be a common complaint for owners of the ford fusion se 2007. There definitely needs to be a recall. This just happened out of the blue. Please assist. It is not fair that ford customers should have to pay for something we did not cause. Thank you.
Drivers door latch is not working from the inside. Must lower window and open from outside. Car was parked when incident happen.
Interior door latch (driver's door) fails to open. I cannot get out of my car without rolling down the window and opening the door from the outside. Also door will not lock when car is locked. I have read several complaints on this the federal safety agency site and other forums with numerous other people who are experiencing the same problem with their ford fusion. Please investigate this issue and initiate a recall if warranted on the interior door latches of the ford fusion. This is indeed a safety concern - especially if someone must get out of the car quickly - also lock failure could be serious security problem.
The interior door latches are known to fail prematurely due to a design defect. Upon failure the door cannot be opened which can cause a hazard in an emergency situation such as a car fire or accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. The contact stated that the front driver's side interior door handle fractured. The door was opened by releasing the window glass to access the exterior door handle or engaging the door lock mechanism firmly. In addition, the rear passenger side door handle exhibited cracks. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
The driver and passenger side door locks no longer work and I have to reach outside of the window to get out of the car when the door locks at all. I have seen online that this is a common issue yet the dealer has not issued a recall and they do not back up the part under any warranty. My fear is that in the event of a crash the door will fly open or that my vehicle will be broken into as the door no longer locks.

2007 ford fusion sel awd; hood latch repeatedly releases, sometimes at freeway speeds and sometimes while car is parked and when returning to a locked vehicle notice the hood is "popped" and only safety latch is hooked. I am somewhat fearful that at some point the secondary latch might fail at speed and cause injury or fatality.
Inside driver door handle broke, can't open the door from the inside. Car hasn't been fixed as of yet.
Ford fusion. 2007 key won't come out of ignition. Was told it will cost $438 to fix and it is a result of a bent pen. This is not something I have done. Ford forum web page has many people with the same problem.
