2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING AND NOW STICKS OUT SLIGHTLY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE DOOR OPENED SLIGHTLY (ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO) BUT WOULD NOT OPEN THE REST OF THE WAY. THE DOOR EVENTUALLY OPENED THE REST OF THE WAY BUT THEN WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED. AFTER USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL LATCH CLOSED, BUT WILL NOT LOCK. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR IS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF THE POWER IS NOT ON, THEN THE WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN AND YOU CAN NOT USE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO NEVER LOCK EVEN WHEN ALL THE OTHER DOORS LOCK.

WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED CAUSING MY STEERING TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS RECEIVED MAINTAINCE ON TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WHY WE ARE NOT INCLUDED THE THE 2011-12 FUSION POWER STEERING RECALL??? $2000 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE ERROR!

TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING JUST LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT ON FORUMS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT MUST BE CONSTANTLY REPAIRED.

THE CAR HAS ~82000 MILES ON IT. THIS MORNING AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED. THERE WERE NO ALARM NOTIFICATIONS AT THAT TIME. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, HOPEFULLY WHEN I AM NOT DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS... I HAVE READ THAT 2010 IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICE FOR FAULTY A POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I SURE HOPE FORD HAS A GOOD REASON FOR NOT INCLUDING THE 2010 MODEL...
