Hi, I'm new to Fords and really to cars. I want to buy a used car - and love the way the Fusion 2012 drives ( love the handling, seat comfort, solidity of the car) so far. But, I have read all the horror stories about the transmission flares and bad shifting on this site and elsewhere. Has anyone figured out any remedies that resolve the transmission issue? now that it's 9-10 years later? Any chance Ford will actually recall these cars? (doubtful I am sure) How risky is it to buy a used 2012 ? Anyone NOT had this problem.... Lastly, any other years that are better and do not have this issue - earlier or later or do they all have it? Thanks!

well first at all I want to thanks the fast replying on my last topic, thanks really. Now I decided to change the transmission fluid by myself, don't trust either my mechanical and don't have the time for the dealer to do the work (here it takes all day long). I've been doing some research about the 6-speeds f21 transmission and have some doubts but its seem easy and I like this kind of work, the manual book says it take 7.4 quarts. My car is a fusion 2008 sel 3.0 fwd 6-speed, I read that there should be a drain plug, but, it only drains aprox. 3qt... so where's the other 4.2 qt? and how can I drain it? A friend gave me 8qt of Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid.
