I own a 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid.  Traded in a Prius to purchase it.  The Prius reliably got around 50 MPG and the Fusion gets around 40 MPG but it is a much sturdier vehicle.

Anyway, the car started making a whirring noise which bothered me, so I took it to the Ford dealer.  I found out that the normal warranty is 75,000 miles, but the transmission is warrantied for 100,000 miles.  I have around 98,000 miles on it now, so the work will be done for free and a $0 deductible.  The dealer also gave me a free loaner car since I purchased the vehicle was purchased from them

I really love the car because it can be flat-towed behind my RV, and that is the reason I chose it in the first place.

I don't luck out very often, but I am happy I purchased it.
