I have a 2012 Focus SE Hatchback with the common, dreaded DCT problems. We have had it serviced twice in the past 18 months for sputtering and hesitating when taking off from a stop. Now suddenly, the transmission is slipping like crazy when shifting gears. The car is not drivable.
In doing research on this issue, I learned that Lemon Law will not apply to my car because I bought it used (less than a year old with only 3,000 miles on it). What does that mean for me in terms of repair bills?? So far, Ford has fixed the sputtering issue for free....but if I need a new transmission, will I have to pay for that myself??? Hardly seems fair.
I'd really like to hear from others with this issue...is there any fix for it, and will Ford cover $$ repairs if you did not buy the car new??
