I think it is unfair to discredit those that claim they have had transmission problems with their Fusions. Why do people assume they are lying, or it's a salesman from Toyota who's making these comments? I think it is pretty far fetched to think a Toyota or Honda salesman would bother to do this.
The notion that the Fusion is 'perfect' is nonsense, and as exaggerated as the idea that only Toyota has had recall problems in the past. Check Ford's record, and people will find they have had many problems with vehicles that had to be recalled.

So, I have had dozens of friends with Toyotas and Hondas and none of them (myself included) have ever had ANY problems with them... recall related, transmissions, etc. etc. I have never even taken any import I have owned in for more than normal service in the 27 years I have been driving. Fords? not so much... GM's DEFINITELY not!!
Point is, we all have our own experiences. To go on about other brands when you have little or no experiences with them just plain makes no sense. You have good luck with Fusions... Great!! I have good luck with imports... also Great!! So, what are we proving by dissing each others brands or quoting ratings sources, stories, etc., etc.? I really wish people would drop the whole import vs. domestic lame argument. It has no validity anyhow as they have proven a Honda Accord as more American than a Fusion anyhow. Just drive whatever you like and leave everyone else out of it. Be happy! Peace...
