Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My driver side door will not open from the inside. Thru extensive research I have found that this seems to be an issue on the fusions years 2007- 2012 models. It seems to be that a crack forms in the handle causing the cable to come out of place. This happens when the car is stationary.”
NHTSA complaint #11202586, filed 2019-04, 95,000 miles“I own a 2008 Ford Fusion and the door cable has broken three times. I have to let my window down to open the door from the outside. God forbid if I get trapped and cant open my door. Also my wheel bearing has gone bad and I noticed on other reviews this is a problem with Ford fusions. Please check into these matters. As you desire to protect the consumers I wasnt to protect my family.”
NHTSA complaint #10576409, filed 2014-04, 183,700 miles“The check throttle light came on. Then like about an hour later after driving my car won't start while driving on a city and I pressed on the gas it was having trouble pulling off then when I got home it just completely shut off”
NHTSA complaint #10885344, filed 2016-07, 120,500 miles“This past week my car has been driving rough (sputtering) and seems to notice it more when driving on the highway but there are times while driving on city streets you can notice it (hear it and feel it) too. My tires are good, last year already had the PCM (major control module) replaced ($2,700) along with all the coils and spark plugs, and also pcu replaced and replaced my hcu ($1,500). So what the heck more can go wrong with this car. Trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with this car now.”
NHTSA complaint #10955573, filed 2017-02, 103,000 miles“Upon exiting my car there was a crack in the door handle. The door was unable to lock and unlock, and sometime very difficult to get in and out of the car, this is a safety issue. I took it to the dealer and I was informed the door cable broke. This should be investigated as a defected part. I was telling some other about it and they told me the knew other Ford owners who had the same problem with their fairly new car.”
