AT least in Australia, they are doing this
"Ford Focus, Fiesta, EcoSport warranties extended over dual-clutch transmission shudder"

So has Malaysia.

Fiesta bought before Sept 2012 only come with 3 years warranty. SDAC has since extended the clutch warranty to 5 years.

If you say the juddering is normal then good for you. But I've sat in a Fiesta before and I'm not impressed. I hope that one day when you are carrying your Mother you don't have to explain to her why the jerking and juddering in your new car is normal. And I hope that she doesn't think she brought a 'sor chai' into this world.

I have achieved enough in my life that my mom does not judge me by what car I drive.

I am sad for you that you still need your mom to approve your choice of cars.

Interested.. i thought the DSG problem only surfaces on TDCI Focus. seems like FoFi is plagued with the same sickness. No chance on updating the TCU firmware or plugging in a ETC to dampen the effects?

Its a dry clutch, it will always exhibit such behaviour at low speeds. Its like a noob L license holder operating your clutch pedal. No TCU update will fix it.

You either live with it and learn to control it with the throttle, or complain and sellcarbuyvios. Automatic dry clutches will never be as smooth as TCs at low speeds.
