Why not forego all the above brands and make the choice for a more reliable vehicle. You know there are more than 3 brands of good cars out there. Maybe you should try one that doesn't have any major problems or recalls, instead of settling for a Ford with a lousy tranny in it over a Toyota that may send you through your garage wall without any warning.

28,000 miles also happens to be over 3 times as long the transmission lasted on this person's Fusion. Not saying that justifies the transmission failure in your Honda, just saying that it's a lot longer than 9,000 miles.
Take a look at the comment above however, only 6,800 miles on their transmission. I've seen comments from people saying the transmission in their Honda failed, but never at such a low mileage.
Hopefully this doesn't turn into a trend with the Ford Fusion. Ford definitely needs sales right now. And despite what some people say on here (comments like "The Ford Fusion is outselling both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry") it's not really the case. sales were actually quite low compared to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry sales last year. I'm sure that's changed for the Toyota however.
I like the look of the Ford Fusion, but have always been a Honda guy myself (never had a single issue with any of my Honda's.)
