If you need to replace the transmission in your 2012 Ford Focus, the cost typically ranges from $1,300 to $3,400, depending on whether you opt for a new transmission or a rebuilt one. The total price can also vary based on the local labor rates in your area. Replacing a transmission is a complex task that requires many hours to complete, involving disconnecting linkages from the shifter and unbolt the unit from the engine. It is advisable to have a professional handle the job to ensure a warranty in case of any future issues.
Used transmission parts typically range from $250 to $550, with labor costs estimated between $500 to $1200. New units can be significantly more expensive, priced at around $2500.
Today I had to purchase a new transmission for my son's 2012 Ford Focus. The total cost is $6400, which includes $4400 for the transmission itself with a warranty covering up to 100,000 miles from Ford, and $2000 for labor. Without the warranty offsetting the majority of the expense, it wouldn't make financial sense to go through with this repair. Unfortunately, prices for auto parts and services are currently unreasonable.
My 2012 Ford Focus requires a new transmission due to fault codes P2837, P2836, P0219, and P287B. Halls Ford quoted me $8702.06 for the repair, but I'm skeptical if they're overcharging me. Can anyone recommend a reliable Ford mechanic in the area?
$3,000 - a sum of three thousand dollars.
It's more along the lines of 1500 pre-owned.
I own a 2012 Ford Focus and I've already put $3200 into fixing the transmission, but it's still not working properly. Ford needs to take responsibility and repair these issues without charge.
The dealer quoted me a price of $9,600 for a new transmission.
Has a class action lawsuit been filed against Ford concerning faulty transmissions?
Likely no big deal. There's a class action lawsuit going on about those transgender issues.
I did the job myself, and it took me a long time. Despite having experience with cars, it was still difficult, and I needed to borrow some tools in the end. Although I saved $2,000, I sacrificed a lot of time and even had to take a vacation day from work to complete it. My knuckles got all banged up in the process. In hindsight, I would recommend that people go to a shop to avoid the frustration and avoid ending up with bloody knuckles. Some things are just better off left to the professionals, and this is one of them.
