Default 2012 German LW Focus

Our Focus Sport has 60k delivered May 2012. been through all the FOMOCO excuses,in May 2018 the DSG clutches were replaced for the third time and TCM was re learnt.7 year warranty runs out May next year. Is this replacement a permanent fix, or can we expect the usual merry go round again in 12 months with $1000+ cost?

The DSG clutches have been problematic on that cursed example of a gearbox so I'd suggest you get rid of it before the warranty runs out.

Write a letter to Ford and ask them to buy it back or replace.



They are still doing this for customers who have had on going problems.
