That lawsuit may just put a too huge a dent on their bottomline.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

ford and getrag partnered in developing this dct. I think if ford didnt put a hand in the dev, the getrag dct wouldve been better.

Ford will fight it though, as we all expect they will. But the message is clear, they are making trannys which are defective.

Yet another reason, I will not be buying a Ford (Fix Or Repair Daily) anytime in the future.

the rangers and everests have been outstanding. as well as the ford f150s and mustangs that have the new 10R80s.

their only mistake was the dcts. which they have already ditched. most current vehicles including the ecosports have the newer shift selects torque converters.

Speaking of Ecosports Master SE, I was riding as a front passenger in one a few months ago, while cruising down the NLEX at around 100KpH, the engine and tranny sounded really loud. Is that normal for this model? You will really notice both major components at high speed.

Only their dry clutch DCTs have faulty issues but yeah they should have properly managed the problem instead of denying it and shifting the blame to the owners hihi. They are most likely to get slapped with another high penalty.

1st im not a master...

regarding this ecosport. we need to find out if its mt or at. and which model year. and when the last maintenance was done. many owners skip servicing because of the cost.

also the noise could be from the wheel bearing. maybe it has been submerged in a flood. too many variables in my opinion where discussions can be inconclusive.
