The open handle from in car on driver's side door broke inside door panel. Unable to get out from inside car. If an accident were to occur I would be unable to escape from vehicle. There are several complaints on multiple year Ford Fusion from 2006 to 2010 online there are you tube videos on it. There should be a recall this can be a safety hazard with grave circumstances.
The door opening mechinisim has broken multiple times (3 to date) in which the driver side door cannot be opened from the inside. This is a huge safety concern as if an accident did incur the driver would not be able to open the door. This car is 7 years old with 125K miles and it has broken 3 times. This needs to be recalled and a proper fix provided as it is due to faulty design and is a safety risk.
I parked my vehicle and attempted to exit out of the driver's side door. I discovered there was no tension on the door handle. I was unable to open the door from the inside. In order to exit the vehicle, I must roll down the driver's side window and open from the outside.

Driver's side interior door handle broke. This is a safety issue. If I were needing to exit the vehicle in a hurry, I could not. If I were not able to roll down the power window, I would not be able to open the door from the inside.

I have a 2007 Ford Fusion and all four of the door handles have broken and have read countless forums about others with the same problem. Am wondering why there hasn't been a recall.
