Description of the problem	Transmission began shuddering during take-off and while driving. Basically, the clutches are slipping causing the car to shudder, or in some cases not move at all, even though in gear. After researching, learned about a massive issue that ford was aware of, but someone my vehicle falls just outside of extended warranty issued by ford, even though every transmission of this model is defective with a manufacturing defect. Paid $1400 for clutch pack repair. Had same repair done, under service warranty 10,000 miles and exactly 1 year later. Had same repair done another year later, except no longer under repair warranty, so had to pay another $1400. According to ford service technicians, this issue really is not fixable. They can only replace parts, which is a band-aid until the exact same issue happens again, which is fluid leakingg past seals and ruining the clutches. Unfixable, only temp patch. So, even though ford knew this transmission had an issue before the put it into production, i now have to pay $1400 every two years forever, to continue repairing their flaw, have a vehicle with decreased trade value that i can't get rid of. These cars are entry level. The owners of these vehicles can't afford to fund ford's corporate greed. How dare them look the other way and not take responsibility for design flaws that their own engineers warned them about. The extended warranty only applied to a small subset of the affected vehicles. The previous class action lawsuit was a joke that only provides relief after many thousands are spent on repairs. Basically the law firm got rich and the affected consumer got a jelly-of-the-month club certificate.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
