QUOTE(kluseng @ Apr 28 2015, 08:41 AM) Ford Focus dry dual clutch suffer from juddering and grinding noise at low speed and overheating in heavy traffic jam forcing you to stop the car to cool down. The clutch pack will need to be replaced frequently and after warranty you are on your own. The issues are design related and cannot be solved. Do some research first. Out of the issues you mentioned about the Ford Focus, only the juddering is valid which is harmless as they are minor jerks when car is changing gears at low speed. There are no overheating and stopping the car to cool down issue that you cited. And the clutch pack that you said needs to be replaced frequently, Frequently as in once in a year? That is untrue information as well. The Mazda 3 CKD is cheap and value for money, but being a CKD especially in Malaysia, it will likely have more rattling sound compared to the equivalent CBU model which is quite overpriced. |

QUOTE(rockets @ Apr 28 2015, 09:40 AM) 2 year old Focus clutch pack change, total damage RM8k. Luckily still under warranty. Other than the tranny the focus is a solid car. Thai quality is just as bad as Malaysia maybe even worse. If it's CBU from Japan or Germany then there is difference. Yes, the Focus is one solid car. Noted on your clutch pack change on your 2-year old Focus. As for CKD Thai of the Focus being as bad as Malaysian CKD, it will depend on which CKD model in Malaysia you are talking about. CKD Honda and Mazda models are usually the worse ones. Toyota and Nissan CKD models are known to be the better ones. The CBU Focus model although not great is generally higher quality in terms of assembly and rattling noises than CKD-Malaysian models. This post has been edited by Dwango: Apr 30 2015, 06:26 PM |

QUOTE(kluseng @ Apr 28 2015, 01:39 PM) Some Focus drivers have complained of transmission overheating in start stop traffic jam especially when going uphill. There are also owners who have to replace their clutch pack before 20k km in LYN Ford Focus forum. Whether CKD in Malaysia, CKD in Thailand or CBU from Japan is no guarantee of quality especially vibrating, rattling sounds from cabin or squeaks when going over bumps. It depends on your luck and owners need to have the patience to get SC to solve the problem. "Some" does not equate to "most" or "many". If one is talking about jerking at low-speed, then it is true that most owners experienced this. But not transmission overheating or change of clutch pack before 20,000km. CKD from Thailand although not free from vibration and rattling is generally better in showing less of these annoying issues than CKD from Malaysia. |
