Rock solid Ford! AAAAAahahahhahahahahahahahhaa. you made my day!
Owned a 2006 Fusion (incredibly cheap), 2005 Expedition, and 2010 F150. The list of problems is very long for such new cars! Let me name a few.
Fusion - all power windows died, failed to start on the 5th day of ownership (bought it new).
2005 Expedition - rusting tail gate, all power windows failed, cheap plastic around the ignition fell off (!!!), needed an alignment every couple of months, transmission is harsh.
2010 F150. Day 2 of ownership (bought it new), would not start - took it to the dealer, it got fixed (or so they said). Day 5 - would not start - dealer fixed it, but it stalled on my way home from the dealership!! Had to be towed. I got stuck with amazingly cheap Focus, which seemed like it was going to fall apart any moment (2010 model). Done with Ford now. I used them for my business, only because I got a good deal on them, but now I'm using Camry's, and was never affected by any recalls, problems, and I am happy because they are all (4) trouble free, and never left me stranded. Good luck with your Ford :)

Funny, I've got a mid '90s Corolla that feels fine at speeds over 100 MPH. It's governed to 105, and probably wouldn't go much faster than that, but it feels fine even at that speed.
However, my previous vehicle (a Dodge Neon) felt downright scary at any speed over 70 MPH. It wandered and got tossed by the slightest road imperfection. They may have had something to do with the sagging sub-frame though.
Personally, I don't travel at speeds over 100 often. I've only done it a few times. However I'd have to say that I really wouldn't feel to safe in ANY car like a Camry or a Fusion at speeds over 100. Although, I personally would pick the Camry if I had to.
