What did Ford techs said bout ur problems? Hopefully they have a solution.

The DCT drivetrain is the main issue which stop potential Focus buyers cold in their tracks.

Car tested n was told it is the car characteristic.
I was fuming mad with the answer but nothing much I can do. On slope the car alwiz feel like dying half way. Wasted my AL just to have my car checked over n over again.
Ford, you bloody disappointed me!

Hi all,
I'm facing the same problem -grinding sound and jerking whenever on the slope crossing the hump since the day one.
Complaint to SDAC Jalan Ipoh, update the software on May 13, the grinding and jerking was reduced.
Most surprise me when went for 20k mileage service. i have a very smooth drive - no grinding and jerking for 2 weeks and the problem back again, but for me, it is still tolerable.

Since then, I test with different petrol station and notice some differences
1. Petron - jerking and grinding is always there and the sound is loud.
2. Caltex - slight grinding, still within my torelance. But recently the grinding and jerking went worse and horrible. Suspect "contamination" on oil tank on the same Caltex station that has went for renovation and stop operation for 3 weeks.
3. BHP - switch to BHP TTDI last week, the grinding is minor, jerking is gone. Still under evalaution. hopefully it is the right petrol for my FoFo.

My car mileage now is around 26000km.

Will try BHP on next fueling, have no preference though.
