brdavisjr Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 My 2010 Fusion Hybrid interior door handle/latch cable either broke off inside the panel or it's a major design flaw issue for safety reasons. My wife called me in a panic when she could not open the door from inside. She has recently gone thru a double mastectomy from breast cancer and her first thought was to climb over to the passenger side to get out. I told her to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. She was unaware of such a way to do so being scared, so here is my issue: What if my wife, or anyone for that matter, was in a wreck and the car caught on fire and she/they were unable to get out of the car quickly and safely? The power could be cut off and the window won't roll down, and the door won't open? My suggestion is to carry a heavy tool or hammer in the car near the front seat to escape! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdii Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The part is $35 and 15 minutes to replace. Stop worrying and just have the handle replaced. It's a common problem, the back corner of the nadle has the return spring pressing against it ans it eventually weakens and breaks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
