Description of the problem | The dual clutch has been replaced numerous times since our purchase of the car. We bought it used from a ford dealership and looking at maintenance records this had already been an issue before it was sold to us. This information was never disclosed to us prior to purchase. The car unexpectedly jolts forward causing an issue with acceleration. The dual clutch has had to continually be replaced every few months incurring high maintenance costs. We are concerned about the safety of the car and the high maintenance costs incurred because the transmission has not yet been recalled. If this is known to be the issue, the consumer should not have to pay for temporary fixes, when the problem could be resolved by the replacement of the transmission. |
