Lets see how Ford faired in the CR report
Not so good Click Here Five of the ten "least reliable cars" are Fords one with a EB in the Taurus! Ouch that's going to leave a mark! OK Blue bloods spin away! :W BTW as far as I'm concerne...

I was just posting yesterday that everyone discredits CR until a) they show their brand love, or b) CR bashes the brand they hate.
Can't say I'm shocked though; my ex-wife's Fusion company car (2010 MY IIRC) is on it's 3rd transmission (we've been divorced a while, it may be on transmission #4 by now for all I know).
I can easily see them burning through transmissions if you ignore the way they shifted from the factory. I had my wife's 2010 back 4 times in the first week I had it to have the shifting changed, my wife's aunt had the same issue on her 2010 when she got it. The Fusion has 86K on it now with no problems.
I do know that ford has had some serious issues with sync, that being said we've had no problems with ours, this may be a case of technology being ahead of the people trying to use it.
Three of the ford are the first production year and we all know that's the worst one.
You make an interesting point; the thing shifted oddly from Day 1 but since it was (is) a company car, ex-wife didn't have the dealer address it. Had it been owned by us, I'd have insisted she get it checked out. Always thought it was a really nice car other than the transmission issues (for the record it was the standard 4-cylinder, not an EB).
