“May 16,2020 I notice my breaks stop working.. May 18,2020 I was backing out of a parking space when I notice my breaks weren't working and had got into a car accident which messed my rear bumper and trunk up. I didn't realize my breaks were having issues until may 22,2020 when the car said 'brake fluid levels low' may 23rd,2020 I decided to purchase brake fluid which it still didn't attempt to hold anything. …”
NHTSA complaint #11325766, filed 2020-05, 201,100 miles“Interior door handle will not open vehicle on driver's side door making it impossible to exit vehicle without crawling over console and exiting from passenger seat or opening window to access exterior door handle. This is a safety issue. As the same thing happened to my husband's ford fusion 2010 hybrid (which cost over $200 to repair at the dealership), I believe there is an issue with the manufacture/design/integrity of parts in these vehicles. In addition, there are numerous complaints on the internet ford/Mercury forums citing the same problem.”
