Re: Ford?

Hey Henry,
How about just making your vehicles run? Every Ford I have had winds up being pushed down a street. Now, I can have Wi-Fi in a car that I push down the street. That is why I have a Honda now......
Perhaps you should look up recent Consumer Reports surveys that have the Ford Fusion matching the reliability of Honda and exceeding that of Toyota.

While you're at it, why don't you look at the massive recall Honda has launched recently for Accords that spit metal shards into occupants when the airbags are deployed...

No company is infallible, but Ford has been doing really well these past few years, ranking among the best in the industry.
My last Ford Tarus 'The Bull Car' had 3 transmissions and 2 engines by 120,000 miles.
Let's see in 5 years were that Ford Fusion is. I also own a 2008 Subaru Tribeca. With 0 problems in 2 years. It is going to the repair shop in a few days to repair the mirror my wife sheared off.

Google Honda Transmission and be prepared for an eye opener. Apparently they can't figure out how to make a transmission last either.

Honda repair many of the transmissions for free. My Odyssey had the transmission fix when I purchased it. It is great family car, and no problems.

Well, we've completed the 4th year already, in case you hadn't noticed. The Ford Fusion was introduced in 2006.

And according to Consumer Reports, "We expect reliability to be much better than average, according to our latest subscriber survey." The 4-cylinder Fusions in particular rate 55% above the industry average for reliability.

I'm looking at the 2006 model year Fusions on Consumer Reports right now. All categories rate "very good/excellent", with only paint/trim and squeaks/rattles rating "good".

Meanwhile, the 2006 Suburu Tribeca seems to have suspension problems.
