Our firm, Capstone Law APC, is litigating two class action lawsuits on behalf of consumers nationwide who purchased or leased any Ford vehicle equipped with Ford’s Dual Clutch or "PowerShift" Transmissions, including the 2011 through 2016 Ford Fiesta and 2012 through 2016 Ford Focus. The lawsuits, entitled Vargas, et al. v. Ford Motor Company and Cusick, et al. v. Ford Motor Company, are currently pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. CV12-08388 ABC (FFMx) and 15-cv-08831-AB-FFMx. The lawsuits allege, among other things, that Ford:
failed to disclose the fact that the PowerShift transmission contains one or more design and/or manufacturing defects that cause problems and unsafe conditions, including, but not limited to, suddenly lurching forward, delayed acceleration, and sudden loss of forward propulsion.
We believe that Ford’s advertising and marketing of the 2011 to 2016 Fiesta and the 2012 to 2016 Focus equipped with the PowerShift transmission misled consumers in violation of consumer laws and that, in reality, consumers who purchased and used the vehicles were put at risk of serious harm and suffered damages based on the unexpected and premature failure of the transmission.

A law firm has launched a class action on behalf of about 60,000 Australian Ford owners, claiming vehicles containing an automatic "PowerShift" transmission are potentially dangerous
The law suit alleges the six-speed, double-clutch transmission used in some Fiesta, Focus and EcoSport models is not safe, fails to comply with Australian consumer law, and has had a clear pattern of problems.
The claim alleges some drivers have experienced sudden acceleration, delay in downshifts, delayed acceleration, and difficulty in stopping whilst braking.
