2011 FORD FUSION HYBRID Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE NOT RECEIVE A LETTER REQUESTING US TO BRING IN OUR VEHICLE TO HAVE THE TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACED. SINCE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE A "MAJOR" SAFETY ISSUE WHERE HUMAN LIVES ARE AT RISK, I WOULD BELIEVE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE LAST YEAR. I WANT IN WRITING FROM FORD TELLING US TO TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO OUR NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP ASAP.

DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE WHEN I WENT TO EXIT THE CAR. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED FREQUENTLY ON THE OWNER FORMS. ANYWHERE FROM 10K TO 30K MILES THE HANDLES BREAK LEAVING WITH EITHER OUTING THE WINDOW DOWN TO USE THE OUTSIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR OR CRAWLING OUT THE OTHER SIDE. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU NEEDED TO EXIT QUICKLY FROM EITHER AN ACCIDENT, FIRE OR OTHER IMMEDIATE PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVEN'T BEEN REDESIGNED AND BRAKE AFTER THE SAME USAGE. *TR
