Ford Knew How Defective Its Fiesta and Focus Transmissions Were for Years

[heavenlee]

White man vely vely bad, no?

[uls]

yeah those greedy americans haha

What's new to me was that Ford engineers knew all along that the DCT was flawed but went through with it anyway.

That's a big difference from having a thoroughly tested design that just didn't work in the real world.

Yup. I remember reading articles and watching videos (I think it was that bald Australian guy) back in 2018 or early this year. Parang hilaw pa yung technology or alam nila na may problema but they proceeded to sell them anyway

Pinagtataka ko dito bakit yung powershift lang na DCT 2010 upwards yung issue.

Eh DCT din yung Ford Focus na may issue din since dry clutch? Yung kapareho ng mga binenta dito sa atin dati na 1.8L Focus (Sedan/hatch) and 2.0 ata yung TOTL. I think model year nung around 2006 to 2010 ata (approx).

But, walang bearing din ata yung kaso na ito dito sa Phils market specifically dahil US Market lang yan diba?

Once nagkaruling diyan, malamang susunud Australia and EU to penalize.

After ng DCT na ito, natapos na ba kaso ng Ford sa Ecoboost gen 1? Forgot if Gen 2 design nila may issue pa din.

Edit: Settled na pala yung Ecoboost gen 1 case sa EU.

Oo nga no? I remember the diesel Focus having a DCT but there were no such issues like this. Odd... baka sumubok ng cost cutting.

It is said that older ecoboost is prone to coolant loss which leads to engine failure and in some cases, the car itself will burn down. No coolant loss with the 1.5 ecoboost but it is prone to ringland failure in my experience.

I know of a ford focus diesel with TCM issues.

Not sure.

But yung Fiesta DCT nung 2010, sigurado yun issue nung nilabas palang yun. Lalo na walang manual override sa shifting to prevent yung shifting back and forth between 1st and 2nd gear during slow crawl.

Yung 2007/2008 na Focus ng uncle ko, after 3 years of ownership tsaka nagsimula lumabas yung shift shuddering/indecision kung san magstay na gear during traffic, pero at least may manual override yun para di manginig at magstay sa gear.

Pero sulit talaga kasi presyo ng Focus hatch nun e.

Alala ko yung 1.8L niya na hatch, mas mura ng around 100k php sa Mazda 3 hatch (pre-Kodo design days and Mazda-Ford pa sila).

"looking good" isn't enough.
one must also be good.
in fact, i prefer looking bad but does good, from looking good but does badly.
