2012 SE 2.5 Mine just started this crap today. Driver's door tries repeatedly to lock but just won't engage. You can see and hear the manual lever on the door handle itself moving, but it won't kick in. About a week ago it acted like it was only half unlocked when I went to exit the car. Inside handle wouldn't budge until I locked it and unlocked it with the door button (not the lever). It's worked fine ever since. I don't always lock it when I'm home but it would be nice to have all 4 doors locked when I'm out shopping. Just seems odd to have issues with a car that's not THAT old. Only 35k miles too

Welcome! I envy your commute! Nothing but potholes and stupid drivers on my daily migration.

2.5L automatic is kinda gutless in the lower gears .... but once you get up to speed, plenty of power to move the car around.

Welcome!!

Do all newer Fusions have this as standard?

Yep the Fit didn't get the crap-tacular CVT transmission until sometime after '12

Hatchbacks are cool but I love a car with a big ol' butt. I'd drive a freaking hearse if I was allowed to park it at work, but they say it's "bad taste" to drive a hearse to a children's hospital. LOL

I have no idea. The only Ford hatch/wagons here are Fiesta, Focus, and C-Max. It's a real shame. I LOVE me a 5 door!

Estate= station wagon? Here in the US there's a blurry line between wagon and hatchback. Even dealers will call the same car by 2 different terms. We only have Fusion sedans here unfortunately.

I dunno. Some versions of batman are gray, black, and yellow. I think you could work with that. I've seen some door projectors that shine the old school black and yellow bat-signal. Those might be cool.

Good to know! I hate my beige interior. Maybe someday I'll luck out and find a junker with a different color in there. I'll know not to grab my SAE tools.

Only when you're trying to flag down someone else with a winch, LOL

I don't know about the newer hybrids but I was behind a 2nd generation the other day and OMG was that thing peppy! My wimpy little 2.5 gas burner couldn't keep up with him at red lights.

Hey Waūnd, as an avid off-roader, I've seen Upside Down Jeep... and it's many sequels, LOL

I'm more of a psychological thriller type. In no order: Silence of the lambs Bone Collector Misery That sort of thing. I think I'd like the Saw movies more if they weren't so unnecessarily gory. I only watched one or two...
