Ford powershift gearbox's not so powerful after all.

FoMoCo just got fined for faulty gearbox's.  They tried to deny clients claims and it ended badly.

All car companies do it......try and bluff their way out of claims.  Unfortunate that the only way they listen is action by someone like the ACCC.

Disgraceful way to treat their customers....you would think that that would be the last thing you would do to buyers of their product.
There isn't an endless cue of people buying these cars...and once word gets around....most will never go back for more.
I feel sorry for the ones who can't afford to flick these things.
