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
