Need to talk to an Attorney

28. That sound is normal and it goes away after the trans breaks in

Take a look at the link I posted and see what other owners are saying and doing. There is a lot of info.

My partner is a car nut. There are a few unresolved issues that annoy him about the car but the trans isn't one of them. He was surprised the trans finally settled down to his liking but it did. Like I said, that trans isn't for everyone.

Our Focus is a little over a year old and has over 20k on the odometer. We took it on a road trip in November (Chicago to Phoenix) and were quite happy with the ride and performance.

He still needs to get it in for that other strut. It gets a little annoying when you leave the car and pick it up to be told they couldn't duplicate the sound. He's too nice of a guy. I may need to go in and be a jagg-off and make some demands - like make the mechanic ride with me or leave it and don't call me to pick it up until they DO hear the noise. Or just replace the goddamn strut.

There are some othe software issues with the sync touch screen which I think he says will be fixed with a recall and/or update. Those are some pretty fancy gadgets so I'm not surprised there are some issues. For the most part, the gadgets work fine - they just reset themselves once in a while.

We got one with the auto park assist. I scoffed at that idea when we were looking but it turns out it comes in pretty handy. I never thout it would put you in a "real" Chicago tight spot but it does.

Hope you feel better about your "FoFo".
