I have a 2015 Fusion. It has 33000 miles. It already rattles more than my manager’s 15 year old Honda Accord with 325,000 miles.
No have a Toyota, Nissan and Subaru, I've had no problems in 3 years other than new tires.
100%.
I have rented Fusions on 3 occasions. The last time, it had 11,000 miles on it and almost dropped the transmission every time it shifted. It was so bad I reported it to Hertz when I returned with the car. I honestly wasn’t certain I would make it back.
I have a 1997 Honda CR-V. It's very well put together, and my only complaint is the piss-poor A/C here in New Mexico. It blows cold, just not hard enough to matter. It has about 120,000, and with my monthly commute at about 300 total miles, it won't see 325,000 for 55 more years... Hopefully, I'll be dead by then.

That’s a car I want to like, in the hatch version.
I happened to talk with a Gulfstream pilot Saturday at a FBO who has one. He was griping that his right rear would chew up a tire in less than 15,000 miles, and that there was no camber adjustment. Meanwhile, the Euro version of the car has adjustment.
I commented that I thought the Focus was a world car, pretty much the same everywhere. Apparently not so, as he said that while the shell was the same, lots of content was cheapened down in the American version.
This is a guy who had been having serious technical talk about maintaining vintage aircraft with my buddy I was there with, and he seemed to generally know his stuff, so I think his observations and criticisms are valid.
It’s not encouraging, to say the least.
