[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 14141395, member: 5905"] When these cars first came out there were issues. a LOT of them (NOT ALL) were because the dealership did not set customers expectations concerning the behavior of the DCT. when it is new (2012 at least) it took anywhere from 1k t 1.5k miles to "settle in". but even after that is does NOT shift like people expect an automatic to. there were other problems as well and ford did a software update that seemed to have fixed the majority of the issues for the 2012 owners. I can't speak to the 2013s other than to say this sounds like a repeat of some of the 2012 issues and people tried to get a class action going then but it went nowhere. how deep the problem goes is really unknown, because like everything else people who have issues bitch the loudest (some rightly so) but people who are happy rarely speak up. so forums like focusfanatics (which I am a member of) are filled with complaints and few praises. making it VERY hard to judge if this is a widespread issue or just a minority of owners being very vocal. I am NOT saying the op does not have a real issue, pretty obvious he does. but class action is not likely to get enough traction to take off. If I were the op I would tell my lawyer to forget class action and focus on getting MY issue solved. let him work on a class action status on his own dime and time. [/QUOTE]
