1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2020

The drain plug for the b6 6-speed transmission comes loose and causes the transmission fluid to bleed out. Causing the transmission to burn up. This is a factory shield system no way to check fluid level. Apparently the fluids leak while traveling.

2 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2017

Since purchasing my 2015 Ford Focus brand new in July 2015, I was stonewalled by two dealerships over the clutch shuddering/jerking/jumping issue before a third dealership (in another state!) finally replaced it. Shortly after I had a front cover oil leak that was repaired under warranty. Then, one day I was driving and the lights on the visor and radio controls stopped working, they fixed most of it but the passenger visor light still doesn't work. Shortly after that I started hearing a popping sound in the radio, then the radio stopped working completely. Today as I was driving on the freeway on my way to work the transmission blew with no prior warning. I heard a loud noise, then the engine revved and the car slowed down. The check engine light started flashing and I was able to move to the shoulder of the highway. A puddle of transmission fluid was under the car after it was towed away.
