Friend of mine got a postcard in the mail regarding the class action suit against Ford for their crappy dual clutch transmissions. Associated website: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Other Oppos get this? Is this legit?

Seemingly so.

Then again, I drove a Focus with the twin clutch box back in 2009 and I thought it was fine.

I got one for my Fiesta. Things like this are legit. I’ve previously been a plaintiff in other class action lawsuits that I didn’t know about until I received my portion of the settlement. (It was for ebook overcharging, fwiw. I went out and bought more books at Barnes & Noble because the settlement was doled out in store credit and not actual money).

Sadly, even though I’ve got one of the defective transmissions, I don’t think I’ll qualify for part of this settlement. My car’s only had repairs on the transmission once. It’s still fucked up, but between work and life, I haven’t been able to take it again. Otherwise, I’d have way more than three visits for sure.

They replaced my clutch sometime last year. Within a month or so, the car was back to shifting like a drunk learning how to drive stick for the first time while having a seizure.

Wish I did qualify, because I’d love for Ford to buy back my car. I love my little Fiesta, don’t get me wrong, but the jerky transmission is a safety issue. I’ve had it stutter and stall when I’m trying to cross an intersection or join traffic from a parking lot. That is NOT safe.

I got one, though it’s of no use to me, because mine is an ST.

My transmission will occasionally shift like it has herpies

I got one in the mail the other day. It won’t help me at all, since my focus was a manual and I traded it off 8 months ago.

I think they’re legit. there was enough uproar about the dual clutch transmission issues for the class to be pretty big and the Lawyer portion of the settlement more than good enough to get them paid...
