Ford has faced class action lawsuits in the United States,[7] Australia[8] and Canada[9] over the PowerShift gearbox as being defective and potentially dangerous in the Ford Focus, Ford Fiesta and Ford EcoSport. The lawsuits allege that the PowerShift gearbox "continue to experience the transmission defect, including, but not limited to, bucking, kicking, jerking, harsh engagement, and delayed acceleration and lurching." U.S. courts tentatively approved a settlement of the U.S. lawsuit on April 25, 2017.[10]
These defects are caused by a faulty throw out bearing, transmission control module, or a leak from either the engine's rear main seal or the transmission input shaft seals. Ford has released made in USA band aid fixes of the seals and updated clutch kits but the transmission will eventually have the same issues.[citation needed] These transmissions are still equipped into the newer model Focus and Fiesta.
Ford Thailand agreed to buy back about 200 Ford Fiesta and Focus models with faulty PowerShift transmissions.[11]
Ford Brasil extended the warranty of the transmission to 10 years or 240.000km.
Ford USA extended the warranty of the transmission to 7 years or 100,000 miles depending on the model year of the vehicle.
Kuinka pitkä takuu Suomessa ja miten valmistaja tulee vastaan kun vaihteistoa alkaa kiukuttelemaan vaikka auto JA VAIHTEISTO olisi huollettu huolto-ohjelman mukaan?
