Consumer Description

HAD 2 ISSUES WITH DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE. CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ON MAY 13TH, 2019 FOR MY 2012 FORD FOCUS. I WAS STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE FOR THIS OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE JERKING WHILE IN MOTION THEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON AND THE CAR STALLING OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN CAME TO A STOP AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS 2667.46 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. THE PREVIOUS TIME WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE BUT WAS FIXED WITH NO ISSUES.
