“Ford knew about it but let it slide? Bad optics.”
I’m more concerned that anyone buys this UAW-built crap...but then again, maybe it’s mostly government entities.
Not all Fords are bad.
I’ve got a 2011 Edge with 269,000 miles on it and it runs great.
Only work done to it is tires, brakes, and oil.
I believe that the transmissions in question were built in Mexico, but I’m not 100% certain. My friend is a lemon law lawyer - says that until this class action, they had a ton of cases involving this issue. It’s a totally different type of transmission compared to a normal automatic.
Ford revised it several times to try to make it work. My thought - if you’re looking at a Fiesta or Focus from that time frame, get a stick shift.
