Description of the problem | Since we've owned our 2006 ford fusion we have had to replace the door handle for the passenger and both back passenger seats multiple times. Once these handles fail (randomly with no warning) they cannot be operated from the inside. This requires getting someone to open the door from the outside. We fear that in an accident we might become trapped. It's my understanding that i'm not alone with this issue with our 2006 fusion, but ford has yet to recall these obviously defective parts. |
