I have a 2006 SE V6. The driver side handle broke inside the door panel this time. 3rd broken handle. Other 2 were on the back doors, one of which has been replaced, the other still functions just looks like s**t. I'm all trying to get Ford to cover/replace. This is definitely a defect that all these people are having the same issues around the same mileage. 1st one was at 25,000, 2nd at 40000 and finally at about 60000. I love my Fusion and love Fords. All cars I have ever owned have been Fords. Before I buy a new one (Fusion), I will definitely check posts for problems and inquire with the dealer if they have heard of problems like this. Hopefully, 2012 models and on will have better parts.
