Description of the problem | The vehicle is having hard jerking/shuttering due to a clutch malfunction during first and second gear. For a while i've had the same jerking (sometimes very bad) that everyone else has had due to a clutch malfunction. I received a letter for the recall from ford and when i went to have the clutch fixed the dealership called to inform me that i was not eligible due to having a branded title. The dealership looked up my vin number when i was making an appointment and proceeded to tell me after i dropped my car off and they had it for the whole day. The reason my car is a branded title is due to cosmetic damage, nothing to do with the front of the car. All of the parts on the car are the original manufactured parts. This being said, i'm having a concern that even though the clutch is the exact same as others without branded titles i am not allowed to get it fixed even and the part malfunctioning was fords own doing. |
