I traded my 2008 Ford Fusion for a 2010 Ford Fusion because I liked the new model and loved the Fusion. My 2010 was recalled for a PCM reprogram for the shifting on the transmission. It has been hard shifting every morning and only the first time it goes through the gear shifts even after being fixed. I brought it back to the dealer once and they could not recreate the problem however, it continues to happen. I am returning again with the car because of this AND now I am experiencing the car telling me I need to have the oil changed. I had my first oil change at 5,000 miles as stated and now I am at 7,000. I dont know if this is an issue or something that is simple. I hope both are resolved or I will be VERY sorry I traded my 2008 for a newer model. I had no problem with that car and I had it one month shy of 2 years with only 23,000 miles on it. I wonder who got the better deal? Me or the person who bought my '08.

Do you drive a 2010 FORD FUSION?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
