Description of the problem | The 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission has a well-documented shudder when beginning to accelerate- jerky motion, no or delayed motion, extreme shaking of the front of the car. It happens repeatedly. Ford has repaired this problem once, but the repair process was faulty, as the problem has returned. In 8/2019, ford extended the warranty on the car to 7 years or 100,000 miles, for focuses built between july 4, 2013, to nov. 5, 2015. My 2016 focus was built after this date, so ford is not making the repair. They claim changes were made to subsequent models to alleviate the need for repairs-- but my 2016 focus is problematic for the second time, shooting down that assertion. |
