2007 Ford Fusion Body & Structure Problems

Your driver's side door latch has stopped working properly. The door won't open beyond a crack, and when it's closed, it stays closed—but you can't open it normally from the outside. This requires climbing through the passenger seat to enter the vehicle, or tying the door shut.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11-30-19 DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP IN TIME AND HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE ROAD, WAITING TO TURN, AND I TRIED TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T IN TIME. IT CAUSED ENOUGH COSMETIC (ONLY) DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FILING IT AS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRS COMPARED TO THE VALUE OF MY CAR. I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO KEEP IT THOUGH SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, SINCE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. MY DAUGHTER IS HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO KEEP IT, TO GET A SALVAGE TITLE AND THEN APPLY FOR A REBUILT TITLE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE MY CAR WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORD BRAKE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAM ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIFTED UP. THE CONTACT CALLED THEODORE ROBINS FORD AT (800) 494-0756 (LOCATED AT 2060 HARBOR BLVD, COSTA MESA, CA 92627) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, MY CAR DOOR WHICH HAD BEEN CLOSED AND LOCKED, FLEW OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED AGAIN.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.

WHILE PARKED AND A PASSENGER TRIED TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE, THE HANDLE EXPLODED AND SENT A PIECE OF THE HANDLE INTO THE FRONT SEATING AREA. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY DUE TO THE SIZE AND SPEED OF THE PROJECTILE. IT NEARLY MISSED THE FRONT PASSENGER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS.

ON JAN. 20 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FUSION AND PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR POPPED OPEN ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY I WAS MOVING SLOWLY AND IT DID NOT HIT ANY THING. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH AND COULD NOT CLOSE IT. I HAD TO USE A HEAVY BUNGEE CORD TO HOLD DOOR CLOSED SO I COULD DRIVE IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR HINGES FAILED, CAUSING DOOR TO DROP AND BREAK THE SPRING PAWL IN DOOR LATCH. SO $900 LATER THEY REPAIRED THE DOOR AND I WAS ABLE TO OPERATE CAR SAFELY AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THE HINGES WERE FAULTY AND CAUSED A SAFETY FAILURE. I SEE THAT SOME NEWER MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR FAULTY DOOR HINGES CURRENTLY. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2007 MODELS. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL OR PART OF WHAT HAD TO PAY TO FIX IT. ALSO SHOULD SEE IF THIS AFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. MILEAGE WAS 96,575.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSED THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO BE EXPOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE INTERIOR PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE BOTH ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE, STOPS WORKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT CLEAR THAT THE MOVING PARTS INSIDE THE DOOR HANDLE ARE MADE OF REALLY CHEAP PLASTIC AND BREAKS ON THE INSIDE. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, HAVE TO PUT WINDOW DOWN AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD WHERE SOMEONE COULD GET HURT IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY VERY COMMON WITH FORD FUSION BASE ON INFORMATION PROVIDED MY THE MECHANIC AND A GOOGLE SEARCH. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE REAR RIGHT DOOR OF MY '07 FUSION BECAME AJAR. THE DOOR BECOMES AJAR WHILE TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT. ALSO THE REAR RIGHT DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE SECURELY AND HAS TO BE GENTLY PRESSED INTO THE FRAME OF THE CAR IN ORDER FOR THE LATCH TO BE SOMEWHAT SECURE.

UPON EXITING MY VEHICLE, I OPENED THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE AS USUAL WITH NO EXTRA FORCE WHEN I FELT A "SNAP" FROM WITHIN THE HANDLE. THE HANDLE STUCK OUT AND DOES NOT RETURN BACK TO THE NORMAL POSITION AFTER PULLING ON IT. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW TO OPEN MY DOOR USING THE EXTERIOR HANDLE AND HAD TO RESET THE LOCK INSIDE THE DOOR JAM. WHEN EXITING MY VEHICLE, I NOW HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE OUT HALFWAY AND THEN PULL THE LOCK ABOVE AND THE HANDLE AT THE SAME TIME TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK AND OPEN THE DOOR. BESIDES THIS, THE REST OF THE FUNCTIONALITY SEEMS TO WORK AS EXPECTED. NOT SURE WHY THE INSIDE OF THE HANDLE IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND NOT METAL AS I'VE READ DOZENS OF FORUMS ON THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD.

DOOR LATCH FAILURE ON DRIVER'S DOOR. DOOR WOULD NOT STAYED CLOSED. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE HOOD RANDOMLY UNLATCHES. THANKFULLY THE SAFETY LATCH KEPT THE GOOD FROM COMPLETELY OPENING. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IT JUST HAPPENED TO US TODAY IN FACT. I HOPE THE SERVICE AGREEMENT WILL COVER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I SEE THAT ANOTHER PERSON COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SITE ON 2010. *TR

THE PAINT BEGAN TO FADE OFF THE HOOD TO A WHITE COLOR. YOU CAN BARELY SEE ANY RED NOW. THE REST OF THE PINT LOOKS MINT. I TAKE VERY GOOD CAR AS IT IS MY BABY. THIS ISSUE BEGAN WHEN IT WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED FORDS. I OWN 3 NOW. FORD, YOU OWE ME A HOOD PAINT JOB. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY KNOWN CAUSE, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM IS JAMMED, THUS PREVENTING ME FROM EXITING THE VEHICLE.
