planetary gears came through gearbox casing

2 planetary gears came through the casing of my FIVE year old Ford Focus....Ford have said it's not their fault and that it's probably due to the car being damaged previously?! Well do you want to even have a look before you ASSUME this? Basically this was a very scary incident and the car stopped dead, I am so lucky that I was only crawling in traffic when this happened as usually I travel on the motorway...should this happen to someone else, it could kill them.....but I'm sure Ford will put it down to the owner of the car and not their faulty manufacturing!!!!! Anyone else had problems?
