First the rear driver's side interior door handle broke when my granddaughter was attempting to open it. Recently the front driver's side interior door handle broke. The fake chrome is peeling off of the passenger side both front and rear door handles. It was peeling off of the two handles that broke but I never thought that they would break. Although I am able to open the window to access the exterior door handle to open the door in most cases, the windows don't always open in the cold weather and the door is very difficult to open using the broken door handle. I am concerned I or a passenger will be stuck in the vehicle and not be able to get out in an emergency.

2006 Fusion sel. 1) ignition key gets stuck in ignition. Approximately 9 incidents beginning may 2009 of parking the car, turning off the motor, key cannot be removed from ignition: 3-4 times the key could not be removed for over 48 hours; 4 - 5 times within 12 hours. . Car can be locked if using the second remote-control key, but will unlock all doors with in 5 seconds when lock on the inside door is pushed and door is closed. Have had the alarm go off 3 times when car door is opened after car left unattended for 15+ minutes, unlocked, with key stuck in ignition, but alarm has not sounded at all times for the same scenario. 2) chrome veneer on interior front door handles wrinkling and peeling. Problem was beginning to show it self when car was purchased.

I have a 2006 Ford Fusion that needs a paint job on the roof, because it is peeling. I bought the car new, and have owned it for less than two years. It has 39,000 miles on it, thus making it 3,000 miles out of warranty. Common sense and places I have taken it to consider this a defect.

Driver's door interior handle has bent and does not open from the inside. Driver's side rear door interior handle has bent and sometimes will not open from the inside. Passenger side front door interior handle has bent but at this time still opens from the inside. Driver's door and driver's side rear door no longer lock due to this.
