Re: Ford Australia’s record $10 million fine for “unconscionable conduct” over dodgy transmissions

We had a Focus Titanium purchased for Christmas 2013 as a present for my wife.
Went fine at first but soon became juddery, indecisive, noisy. Every service the only issue we had was the transmission. I used to tell them, "There are only 3 wrongs with the car - transmission, transmission, transmission." By the middle of 2017 we'd had enough and decided to get shot of it.
Absolutely spoiled what otherwise was a great little car but in end she was scared to drive it.
I din't join the class action but got a great deal on a 5 month old Escape Trend demo in June 2017. It came with the power tailgate, the safety package and ..... a genuine automatic transmission. I had to haggle a bit but got the outcome I was after.
Great little car, she loves it and it's been the family workhorse since our Territory met its demise.
