Description of the problem | When starting from a stopped mode the car jerks through 1st and 2nd gears. When accelerating quickly it is hard to control the car. Took to dealer (max ford harrisonville, mo) and he said it was the electric clutch. The 2012 and 2013 had a campaign with an extended warranty of 7 years or 100k miles to replace the clutch. He did not know why my 2014 was not covered since it is the same engine and clutch. My car has 67k miles so is out of the basic warranty. I called ford and they could not give a reason as to why it was not covered. Short of spending 1500 dollars to have clutch replaced i am stuck. I was told by dealer this would only be a temporary fix anyway because the clutch only lasts about 30k miles. |
