Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I just went out to my car, got in, started it and noticed my door lock button was funky. Then went to open my door and it does not open, it is broken! I have to roll down the window and open it from the outside - not okay. I am the only one who drives my car and I take very good care of my car. I went to the internet and found lots of complaints about the door handle breaking. Is there a recall for a 2012 Ford fusion? I only saw one for the fusion starting in 2013.”

NHTSA complaint #10914981, filed 2016-10, 71,125 miles
