I brought this unit at an auction, but the wheel continues to look on me.... now several lights are on including check engine.
The inside drivers door handle breaks and makes it impossible to exit the car without rolling down the window and using the outside door handle. this is very dangerous and makes exiting the car in an emergency difficult and could lead to injury. this appears to be fairly common with the ford fusion.
I stopped to get gas, put my car in park, and shut the car off. it started rolling forward as i was trying to get out. i leaped back in and hit the brake and put the emergency brake on. after that, the car wouldn't start because it was registering that the car was in reverse even though the gear shift was in park. i went into the gear shift area by pulling off the center console and manually put it in neutral so i could start the car and drove it to the ford dealership for them to look at it. i did some research and saw that similar issues were found in 2013 and newer ford fusions and they were recalled. i'm thinking the 2012 year ford fusion should be included in this recall.

The interior door handle can can break internally when exposed to high temperatures such as a hot summer day on a regular basis. the plastic used off-gases and loses structural integrity over time unfil failure occurs potentially trapping a person who is unable to reach the exterior handle in the vehicle. according to my research this is a pattern of happenings with the 2012 ford fusion due to a change by ford in door handle construction. repairs are often ineffective as it is replaced with a similar part that fails in the same manner.
Door latch - driver's door interior handle - failed. symptoms appear to be the same failure mode reported on numerous ford models and years. the handle does not control the door. the lock mechanism does not function.
I had a leak under the front of the car, staining my driveway. even after having the ptu replaced, i still had a leak. i only realized it was leaking when i had to park in a different location in my driveway. i brought it to another garage. found out that the transmission tube were rusted, thus leaking transmission fluid. the garage replaced the transmission tubes, and replaced all the fluid.
Takata recall - ford dealership has failed to fix this cars airbag. i've made numerous appts that have either been cancelled or forgotten by the dealership due to unavailable parts, or human error. ive been told the parts were on order, the parts were unavailable, there were far too many recalls and the dealership couldnt mert the demand, and also completely forgotten altogether! dealership was supposed to call us to fix this after failed appointments and never followed through. my car was just updated with a $300 value loss because of it. this car is completely paid off.
When i was decelerating the car would vibrate. only happened in town, not on highway. i was told i had to replace the driveshaft and left spring, which was broken!
The driver inside door handle will not open door. i see there have been recalls for models before and after 2012 for this problem. i am 70 yrs old and cannot repair this myselflf not have funds to have repair. is there a recall for this model and problem

When trying to open the drivers side door from the inside on my fusion, the door handle let loose and i could no longer get out of the car. the door handle is apparently broken. i bought the car used and it worked perfectly until last evening. apparently door handles on different years of fusion have done the same and ford replaced them. all of the cars are the exact same interior as mine appears to be on the videos in which this breakage occurred. i had just pulled into the parking lot and had to have my boyfriend open my door to let me out of the car
I can't get out of my ford fusion, i've tried the driver's door handle, and it won't open the door, took to ford dealer, they told me door handle is broken, not under warrantee, i've barely had my car 2 months, tried rolling down driver's window, and the door lock has jammed, twice, causing me a life death situation, where, i was literally trapped in my car for 25 minutes, twice, no phone or water, and passerby's didn't want to get involved, just to help me get my door unjammed. i was sweating profusely, i had to crawl over the shifter and emergency brake just to get to the passenger door to get to safety, and with a lumbar brace on for my 9 compressed discs in my back and 7 in my neck, i was really scared that i would die in my car. it took me 15 minutes to get to the passenger door and in twice ad much pain twisting my back and neck, i was on the verge of heat exhaustion from a hot car in az where the outside temps get over 108 degrees in the summertime. i was dripping wet when i finally found a way out of my car. this door handle isn't covered under my extended warrantee, and it should be, for people on low income situations, or have a recall on the door lock and handle situation, because it's a manufactures defect, but, ford won't admit that they have a serious safety issue with the do it handles breaking and trapping people in their cars. this should be a recall, so ford can be responsible for their defect and redesign it differently so the door handles don't break,and trap people in their cars. my car is now dangerous to me, i can't get out of it safely without hurting myself, and that's very, very bad. i don't want to die in a hot car in az, that's a slow death. please have this door handle problem recalled, and covered under warrantee's so ford can fix and pay for their own mechanical problem instead of the low income seniors that need dependable cars.

During summer months with air conditioning running, the cabin of the car fills with heavy exhaust fumes whether the air is recirculated or outside air. daily commute is less than 10 minutes and traffic is light. i keep my windows closed when air conditioning is on. i haven't noticed this problem in the winter. i am worried about being exposed to dangerous carbon monoxide levels in the car. this occurs every time the car is driven both on the freeway and surface streets.
When driving the vehicle on an incline, or the engine is under loaad, the temperature gague goes up, but as soon as i come out of it, the temperature returns to normal. i have had it tested and it is not actually overheating. have a new water pump, thermostat, sensor and radiator. also, the car symbol on the instrument panel is on and all doors and trunk are closed. had to take it to the dealer, they've determined it is electrical after the "diagnostic", but are still trouble shooting after a week to determine the exact cause.
Went to open my door to get out of my car & out of nowhere the door handle would not work. to get out of my car right now i need to put down the window & reach out to open with outside handle or get out passenger side due to cold temperatures & not being able to put the window down. it's really inconvenient. i have seen where other vehicles have had recalls with similar problems.

Car iis in park and pull the key out of the ignition it will not come out . making sure it is in parked , turn the wheel tried all that and still stuck the only way i can take the key out of the ignition is to disconnect the battery. ford dealership said it needed a new shifter
The vehicle was parked in my driveway upon returning from errands. the next morning the power steering assist and the advancetrac system failure lights were on. this has happened before while driving and after parking at my workplace. usually restarting the vehicle would correct the issue. this time it would not reset and i brought it to the ford dealership where it was purchased. i understand there was a recall on the 2012 ford fusion and other ford makes for this same issue. however the dealership says the vin # on my fusion doesn't match any current recall and will not cover the cost of repair. my question is if this is a known ford problem why should it not cover my vehicle with the same issue for recall ? just because the vin # isn't in the system is no reason not to fix this. it is a known problem,many situations exactly like mine recorded online. how are they (ford)not responsible?
Driver side front door handle ceased operation. the door will not open from the inside of the vehicle, but will open from the outside. i contacted my local ford dealership about this and they stated they have replaced many of these, but it is not on a safety recall at this time. the repair cost is approximately $170. i consider this a severe safety issue due to not being able to open the driver's door in the event of an emergency. vehicle was parked and not moving when this occurred.
Driver interior door handle breaking.
The inside door handles break quickly. the drives side door handle has busted 2 times in a year and the passenger side door handle has busted as well. this is a terrible design flaw on ford's part. i have already fixed the door handle once and now gotta fix them both.
There is a grinding/pooping noise from front of vehicle when turning. the recall 15s18 was reprogrammed along recall 16b38 but the noise has continued and has gotten worse. when driving slow and turning to the left and right in a parking lot it is very noticeable the dealership stated the noise was coming from the steering rack.
I was traveling down a main street and i heard a beep and power steering assist fault lite up on my dash as well with service advancetrac came on so i pull off the road and into a parking lot and my wheel all the sudden got stiff. i sat there for a few trying to figure out what was wrong and i turned the car off and let it sit for a few mins and turned it back on hoping it would go away well it didn't, so i got it home finally 6 hours later still with all them lights on and the wheel being stiff let it sit over night and everything next day i go back to the car hoping once again it would go away and it didn't.
The inner driver side door handle broke suddenly when trying to exit the vehicle. the handle made a pop sound and we were unable to get out. once we had the chance to look at what happened, we noticed that pulling open the handle at the same time as the lock engaged the latch. the vehicle was parked at the time of the handle breaking, and the motor was turned off.
Went for my yearly inspection and was told that my cars front coil springs were cracked and it wasn't safe for me to drive my car. i feel this is premature failure on a car that has 52,000 miles on it. the only one who has serviced my car since i've owned it is heritage ford. i have recently traveled long trips with my car too and haven't noticed any problems. heritage for was unable to fix my vehicle because they didn't have the parts and its labor day weekend meaning it will take longer to get the parts unless they experdited it. (this is the only car i have and own)
Door latch broken. drivers inside door latch broken so you can not open the door from the inside. comon problem that goes back to 2006 models. plastic mechanism fails and door will not open from the inside. also door will not lock so the vehicle can not be secured. preventing someone from getting out of the car has to be a safety issue. there is a tsb from 2006 on this problem for all fusion, milano, and lincoln mkz models. a recall on all door latches inside the car would be appropriate.
Second time inside driver door handle has broke, can't get out of vehicle unless you roll down electric window and open from outside. car has to be turned on for this to happen. otherwise you would have to climb out to passenger side. this could be a real safety hazard in case of emergency. ford only warrants the handle when fixed by them for two year. wouldn't you know it 15 months and it breaks again. here goes another 216.00 plastic part inside door handle breaks.

Was coming home from work when my steering wheel lock up well at least felt that way just was really hard to steer. i ended up hitting a pole due to the fact that i couldn't really control my car. also i was never notified about this recall at all and could've probably prevented this incident if i was notified about this recall . now i have no vehicle to drive so now i'm stuck trying to figure out how i'm going to get my daughter to her appointments and how i'm going to go to work and make money to pay bills due to the fact that my car is now sitting on the garage sitting there

My adult son was using my vehicle. he parked my vehicle in his driveway and closed the driver's door. when he went to use my vehicle, the door wouldn't open. he had to go to work, so he entered the vehicle through the passenger side. after getting to work the driver's door still wouldn't open so again had to vacate through the passenger side. i made an appointment at the dealership. they kept the vehicle for two days because they could not get the door to open either. they called ford directly for instructions. come to find out it was a faulty latch (same reason they are now recalling ford fusion from the year 2013-2014 - mine is a 2012). i called the ford company and they said they will report it and i told them i would do the same. they made me pay the deductible on my extended warranty and i felt since it is a known defect, that i shouldn't have had to pay my deductible of $100. i have a case # from ford: cas-10775544-z653c9

Failure of inside door handle to facilitate opening of door will prohibit timely egress of vehicle in the event of an emergency. both the driver's and rear passenger's inside door handles have broken, resulting in the inability to open the doors from the inside. these failures occurred during normal use after parking the vehicle. the doors opened less than an inch out of the locked position at the times of failure. due to the bench seat not prohibiting egress out the other rear door, this complaint was not issued during the rear passenger door failure. the driver's door handle has just broken.
