The 2017 Ford Focus has a recall for its transmission, specifically for models with a 1.0L Fox GTDI engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. The transmission is a critical component of the vehicle and can present various problems over time. You may encounter issues like gears getting stuck, jerking or rough shifting, shudders, slipping transmission, delayed shifts leading to acceleration problems, and the potential for leaks in the transmission fluid. It is important to address any transmission fluid leaks promptly, and it is recommended to replace the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Neglecting fluid changes can result in unpleasant sounds coming from the transmission, as old fluid can be particularly noisy. Additionally, a worn-out torque converter can also cause headaches for owners.
My car also has an automatic transmission issue that requires an estimated $2700 to fix, which unfortunately is not covered by the lawsuit. It's a frustrating situation, and even my extended warranty won't help.
