Description of the problem | We test drove ford focus 2014 se with 50k miles at the dodge dealer in clermont gotta. The transmission shuttered when going uphill and turning left with 4 passengers. When pointed out to the dealer, they said it was fine. Just heavy load going up hill and turning. We drove the car 2000 miles and the transmission got worse. Ford dealer said they'd repaired the transmission clutches on many of these focus automatic tiptronic transmissions and some were recalled some weren't. Of course "ours" wasn't a recall and cost $2000 after owning the case less then 30 days. The dealer says it was sold as is. I won't recommend that dodge dealer in clermont, florida! After the ford dealer repaired the transmission and driving 2000 miles more, the transmission is shuttering and hesitating again. Ford should issue a recall on this transmission as there are many people having this problem with low mileage. |
