2006 Ford Fusion rear passenger interior door handle broke when exiting the car. It looks like the chrome plating on the interior drivers door is beginning to crack.
I have a 2006 Ford Fusion and every single door handle is broken and no longer works properly. I have contacted the Ford dealer to have them replaced with no response. They are made of plastic and cover with chrome tape.
I purchased my Ford Fusion in April 2006. Since then, I have had a number of problems. During the same year of purchase, the rear left tail light and a fuse blew. About a 1 1/2 years later the same rear light blew. In 2009, the driver side door handle broke from the inside of the door panel, the air blower began spontaneously coming on by itself when the air or the heat is not on, I replaced a battery and the car began to hesitate when accelerating. Last but not least in 2010, today actually, I park my car and was unable to remove the key from the ignition. I plan to go to the dealership tomorrow to determine the cause and resolution to this particular issue. I have paid over hundreds of dollars for all these repairs, which occurred right after my warranty was up.
