1 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2023

The surface of the drivers side interior door handle has peeled and created a dangerously sharp edge that will cause physical harm to the drivers hand. The middle finger on my left hand was sliced open on 06/15/2023. I made an appointment with the dealer to have to handle inspected/replaced and a service done. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have photos of the faulty door handle and my injury. I came across a post on the internet that shows Ford has had an issue with this on other vehicles. I read gm also had an issue with this as well. Https://blueovalforums. Com/forums/index. Php?/topic/54795-ouch-peeling-fusion-doorhandle-cuts-me-deep/ in 42 years on this earth, I have never had a vehicle do this. The handles are clearly made of poor quality materials.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2022

As I was pulling out of zip's car into a parking spot to vacuum truck. I was barely moving when the truck accelerated at a high rate of speed and hit the wall in front of me. It was like the truck had a mind of its own. I just knew I wasn't doing it. If someone had been walking in front of me it would have killed them. My air bag did not come out. My chest hit the steering wheel very hard. The police showed up and did a report. I did not get a ticket. The truck was towed and looked over. There was so much damage to the truck it was totaled. I can't believe this happened to me. I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone. It was a very scary experience.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2021

On numerous occasions, the "rear drivers side door ajar" warning shows on the dash and the lights inside the truck stay on even when I have not used the rear drivers side door but only the front drivers side door. Vehicle currently has 754 miles on it. Bought brand new.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2021

Driver side rear door constantly shows as ajar and triggers alarm, even when firmly closed. Unsure if cause is improperly fit body work or electrical components but nothing fixes it and dealer doesn't have time to look at it. I am unable to lock the truck or the alarm will sound and drain my battery because of the left passenger door.
