Ford Motor Company 2012 Ford Focus Ford Focus Transmission Problems
Our 2012 Ford Focus needs a new transmission. The Focus only comes with a 60,000 powertrain warranty, not 100,000. Problems started just after 60k miles. Now Ford wants us to pay 5k for a new transmission. We have opened a case with Ford Motor Co a week ago but both Ford Motor & local dealership have been giving us the run around. Recalls have been updated. Problem not fixed. We believe the recalled parts made the transmission go bad. I know there's a class action lawsuit. We bought a new car to avoid problems like this!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you have an expert opinion who can testify in court that recall caused the problem BEFORE 60,000 miles then you don't have a case. You would need to sue Ford in small claims court. In all probability they we seek a change in venue to a higher court where you will need an attorney. Otherwise, its nothing more than a lack of a case because the warranty period is over.
