You are a little late to the party. CR recommended the Fusion/Milan, Taurus/Sable, and Mustang (also the Edge, Expedition, Sport Trac, F-150, and Taurus X plus four Lincolns) way back in their April 2008 issue. They also touted the great reliability of the Fusion and Milan back then too. So the sky fell a long time ago. You must have been under protective cover at the time.

The Malibu was recommended way back in 97, but knowing of one first hand, I would not recommend it.
 
Gee, I knew somebody that had a lot of trouble with an Accord once......I haven't been able to recommend a Honda product since they are all trouble prone according to my vast experience.

nobody should make a judgment about all vehicles of one model from one particular vehicle,
 
Unfortunately, that's what a lot of people do, judge based on experiences with one example: the one they bought and drove. It's hard to give the same model another chance when you got stuck with a lemon. The trick is to have as few of those as possible, since it's impossible to have zero. Honda and Toyota learned that a long time ago. Toyota is starting to forget, but a few years back Ford learned it too. Notice the most reliable seem to be the smaller-volume manufacturers? As Toyota got bigger they started losing their vaunted reliability. Ford is shrinking itself, and now they're "Fantastic On Road Driving" instead of "Found On Road Dead."
