Most American car models are trash tier quality.
They've mostly improved, with the exception of Chrysler/Jeep. Even Daimler was unable to turn them around. How Fiat could be stupid enough to acquire them from Daimler still boggles me.
Our Ford Escape had total transmission failure after 70000 miles! And the Mercury before that had transmission problems too. That 2015 model Ford broke completely while our 2011 model Mazda has never had a problem. They might look good but Ford does not make high quality vehicles.
