The 2013 Ford Focus I purchased from an auto broker, is only 5 years old, low miles, appears to have been well cared for by previous owner. I have owned this car less than a year. I was aware of extended warranties on the transmission. When I recognized the shuddering and the transmission flaring, I took it to the local Ford dealer for repair. The clutch was replaced and the transmission control module updated as per the extended warranties. The issue with the transmission flaring (randomly down shifting) was not covered by the extended warranties. It was the output shaft speed sensor. It turns out that the speed sensor failed because the output shaft bearing assembly came apart, causing the speed sensor to fail, oh and shrapnel also got into the gear box and caused damaged as well. Total cost of repairs was $1707.33. None of these issues were caused by wear and tear. These were mechanical failures, that I should be reimbursed for.
