After 500 miles without the software update correcting the slippage, Ford did replace a clutch. Ford's first attempt to correct was a software update. "Car would jerk and shutter during the 1-2 shift." "The dual clutch transmission continues to have problems after replacement with chatter, sputter" I was told by a Ford Representative that this problem will happen again and not to drive the car on long trips" "This is the second transmission problem with this car, but despite this we like the car and are happy with it" And through 3 brutal Chicago winters, it always starts for me and it still has the original battery." Although the shifting was flakey the car always worked. So just looking at it you would think it is just a regular automatic transmission. My car has a six speed manual transmission which is shifted automatically by a computer. They replaced the clutch and reprogrammed, the computer. I took it in and officially complained about the flakey shifting, a week before the 3 year warranty ran out. It aways worked, but not as well as it should. "Shifting was flakey, particularly in Chicago heavy traffic.

Ford replaced the clutch assembly under warranty."

"Vehicle is an automatic with dual clutch system. Three months later they replaced the clutch again and this one is now failing." One week later, I took it back and they replaced the clutch. "Flaw from design and Ford bought back the care in 2019"
