I parked my car in the garage and tried opening the driver side door. But the handle and lock would not work. So I have to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. Also the driver door will not lock. This is a very serious security issue. I was told that it was not covered under warranty but I didn't do anything to cause this. It is just very cheap parts and poorly designed.
2009 Ford Fusion locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I had stopped at a convenience store and when I tried to open the door the door handle wouldn't unlock. I had to climb out through the passenger side. I could open the door from the outside. This is the 2nd time the handle has broken. The first time was within the 1st year I purchased the car. I have taken it to the dealer to look at. Seems this is a recurring problem with this car.
Both front and rear interior door handles have failed. I am unable to exit the vehicle without lowering the window and opening from exterior. There is no visible evidence they have failed, they have just stopped working. You can convince the rear to work if you pull the handle and lock the same time. If I were to be involved in an accident, and the power failed, I would be unable to exit the vehicle at all. This vehicle is 3 years old with 47,000 miles and is now a potential death trap. The dealer says it is not covered, and I would have to pay for repairs. I am considering legal action, any vehicle that is inescapable shouldn't be on the highways. Worst of all, a quick search shows this to be an abundant problem with fusions from 2006 on. There are numerous blog on this subject alone. I am afraid to transport my family in this vehicle and have received no help!
