The interior door handles snap in half easily and cause the door to not lock automatically. When the first door handle broke (front, driver side) it took me about a minute to figure out what had happened and how to get out of my car. If it would have happened in an emergency situation it could have been a major problem. After the second handle broke (front, passenger side) I discovered that pulling back on the lock mechanism will open the door. The dealership told me to keep my receipts because this, according to them, is a chronic problem with the milan and the ford fusion. Thankfully, I was just getting out of my car to go to work, but had I been involved in an accident I could have potentially died because of the faulty door handle.
Driver's door handle broken on inside of vehicle. Seems to be a common problem with ford fusion and mercury milan models from 2006 on. Plastic handle breaks and you cannot exit the driver's door unless the door is opened from the outside of the vehicle or through another door. In the event of and accident the driver could become trapped in the vehicle.
On the inside door handles they are covered in chrome. The passenger side started to bubble up. Not sure why, because I mostly only use the driver side. Anyhow, the other night I had my cousin riding with me and when she grabbed the door handle the piece cut her finger. It had somewhat pealed off and sliced her. No other door handle has done that just that one. I was wondering what I should. Its a safety issue for anyone who grabs the handle. I am not even sure how or where to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!
