Big picture

Girlfriend drove a 2003 Focus before this, so she decided hey why not get a 2014!!! Big mistake. and shame on me for not googling harder for the issues with the transmission.

She had the leaking seals fixed, and the clutches replaced already. Shes had about 3 "reflashes" done to the TCM to "fix" the shuddering (feels like a 10 year old driving a stick shift when accelerating)...

Anyway, fast forward today. Next week, she is having the clutches replaced AGAIN, since they need to be replaced, because they are "worn out". GEE WONDER WHY, can't be because the ****ing TCM doesn't know how to shift?

I get a call this morning, "I'M ON 280 AND THE CAR SAYS "ENGINE ERROR, SERVICE NOW AND I CAN'T MOVE".

Thanks ford. **** you, and **** your ****. They wouldn't even pay for the tow.

****ing piece of ****.

If you're bored, here is the fun-filled focus forum with info on the trans issues!
