2007 Ford Fusion sel awd; hood latch repeatedly releases, sometimes at freeway speeds and sometimes while car is parked and when returning to a locked vehicle notice the hood is "popped" and only safety latch is hooked. I am somewhat fearful that at some point the secondary latch might fail at speed and cause injury or fatality.
Inside driver door handle broke, can't open the door from the inside. Car hasn't been fixed as of yet.
