Because currently available reliability info could be much more useful, I've started collecting my own. I start collecting data when I have 25 of a model/model year. I'll count the Fusion and Milan as one car, but the Lincoln is different enough to require it to be considered separately. I have already had a very strong response from Five Hundred / Freestyle owners (48 2005s and 12 2006s in the panel), and hopefully will see as strong a response from owners of the Fusion, Milan, and Zephyr.

To encourage participation, only panel members will receive free access to detailed results.

Just an update. I still do not have enough of these cars to begin collecting data on them.

The only Ford products I'm collecting data on so far are the Five Hundred / Freestyle / Montego, where I have 54 2005s and 14 2006s.

The site has been redesigned, and the panel is growing more quickly.

I'm now just three Fusion/Milans short of the minimum needed to start data collection. And the more I have, the sooner I'll have results.
