Terrible car transmission is horrible

This car should be removed from the market until the transmission is completely reworked and a recall done on all those that have been sold. I have had mine about a week and I think the transmission is complete crap. It slips, shudders, jitters, and surges when starting out from a stop. /////Edmonds asked for an update 12/15/16 and I have sold this car at a great loss $$$$ This car was unsafe to drive so I got rid of it. Transmission too JERKY and not able to be relied on for daily driving. Goodbye FORD forever.

I bought this car brand new and had the transmission rebuilt at 20,000 miles. I am now at 40,000 and everyday I drive I can hear the transmission starting to slip again, and it gets louder as time goes on. It sounds like someone is crushing a empty water bottle under the car! I got a settlement letter in March and I finally put my foot down, and traded it in. My coworkers also own this car in the sedan version and also complain about this issue. This is a great little car, and great on gas. Very disappointed.

Great little car with a horrible transmission

I really loved this car when I bought it, but it has been trouble almost from day one. Right after I took delivery I noticed several flaws in the paint, bad moldings, and misaligned. trim pieces. Many other problems showed up over the next three years, but the biggest problem was the jerky transmission. Ford replaced the clutch pack once and it helped for a while, but the problems soon showed up again. I had hoped to keep the car for a long time, but in the end I decided to trade it in after the three year warranty ran out. The DCT transmission is a really bad design.

T-boned on driver side, not a scratch made on me

Not the ideal way to test how well a car is made, but I was t-boned on the driver side last week. The car was totaled. Windows smashed, driver door crushed shut. A hole was torn in the rear driver side door. Driver's side airbags deployed. I left the accident with a slightly sore neck and no injuries except for a quarter inch scrape on my knee. Passenger has a broken rib. Amazing.
