- 2012 Focus SEL Hatchback
I just recently bought a 2012 Focus SEL Hatchback with 127,000 miles for my 16 year old daughter. My wife has been spending time with her driving as she gets in her hours in order to get her license. Yesterday, my wife informed me that she noticed something with the car regarding the transmission. She went to accelerate to pass a car, the engine rpm's went up, but the car did not accelerate. It's like it didn't know what gear to go in. She also noticed a small, but noticeable shake of of the steering wheel when taking off from a stop.
After now researching, I have discovered the nightmare that is the 6 speed, dual dry clutch, automatic transmission. My question is this:
Do I just sell this thing and take my loss, or do I invest in getting it fixed? It's my understanding that the TCM is still under warranty but none of the other transmission parts are. I have not been to the dealer yet.
Thanks.
Bryan
