Ongoing Transmission Issue Mishandled I’ve had an unresolved PowerShift transmission issue on my 2014 Ford Focus for nearly a decade. The vehicle shutters and slips during acceleration — especially a unresolved PowerShift transmission issue on my 2014 Ford Focus for nearly a decade. The vehicle shutters and slips during acceleration — especially after extended driving — and despite multiple warranty repairs, the problem has never been fixed. Here’s a brief timeline of the major repairs: March 2016: TCM recall performed October 2016: Clutch ordered due to hesitation March 2017: Clutch replaced; reprogrammed PCM/TCM May 2020: Clutch and input shaft seals replaced August 2021: “Transmission Fault Service Now” – TCM replaced again February 2024 (at Barrie Ford): TCM replaced under warranty; told the issue would resolve after 2,000 km — it didn’t June 2025 (Barrie Ford): Issue re-diagnosed, DTC P090C confirmed clutch and actuator failure again To Barrie Ford’s credit, they waived the diagnostic fee and offered to discount the repair from $4,917 to $3,600. I appreciated that. However, I had already offered to pay $1,500 out of pocket toward the repair as a goodwill compromise, and asked them to escalate to Ford Canada for support. That request was declined, and my follow-up to both the service manager and dealership owner went unanswered for over three weeks. After years of trying to get this issue resolved — including repeated service visits and following all dealer advice — I’m left with no option but to pursue CAMVAP arbitration and Ontario consumer protection. Disappointed that such a long-standing, clearly documented issue wasn’t properly resolved under warranty or goodwill consideration. More

Max was great to work with. It was nice to deal with a car enthusiast, who was as knowledgable as I am on the motorsport aspect of things. I found it very easy to talk to Max to It was nice to deal with a car enthusiast, who was as knowledgable as I am on the motorsport aspect of things. I found it very easy to talk to Max too, and just straight talk trucks, engines, superchargers etc., and all good things performance relating to the truck I bought. Thanks very much Max! I love my new truck! After I purchased the truck, I needed to visit the service department for a few minor items I wanted tweaked. Scott in service looked after me, and I left with everything perfect, and I am 100% happy!. Great job guys! More
