 I bought the 2013 Fusion because of the new style and fuel economy... However I wish I knew about the rust issues. My car has less than 36k on it and has been garage kept as much as possible. I wash it regularly and was it no less than twice a year. But my hood is rusting at about a dozen locations (no chips in paint) and Northgate Ford in Cincinnati Ohio told me "it's a known problem with the fusion and multiple other Ford vehicles. However since it's over 3 years old and hasn't gotten holes in the metal (YET) that it's MY PROBLEM. Nor did they want to even look at it. I feel like Ford is using the same metal they used in the 1970-1980's that would rust to the ground in less than 10 years, salt or not. Funny how Chevy or all of the Asian vehicles don't have this PROBLEMS!
