What is the extended warranty period for the new Focus dual-clutch transmission?
3 Answers
The extended warranty period for the new Focus dual-clutch transmission is one year. This car has advantages in the following aspects: 1. Appearance. The Eco-Boost180 Trend and 1.5L Automatic Trend models are equipped with the widely praised ST-Line sports package, including: a large honeycomb-shaped all-black front grille, lower body skirts, rear spoiler, and dual exhaust pipe design; 2. Configuration. In addition to the sports package, the Eco-Boost180 Trend and 1.5L Automatic Trend models retain their previous configuration advantages while adding several practical features, such as keyless entry, one-button start, TPMS tire pressure monitoring, etc.; 3. Powertrain. The new Focus is equipped with two engines: the 1.5L Eco-Boost and the 1.5L Ti-VCT, both meeting the China VI emission standards. The 1.5L Eco-Boost turbocharged dual-injection engine integrates over 20 cutting-edge technologies, including the PFDI dual-injection system and a low-inertia mixed-flow turbocharger, delivering 174 horsepower and a maximum torque of 243N·m/1750-4500rpm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for both powerful performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.5L Ti-VCT dual-independent variable camshaft timing engine, paired with a 6-speed manual/automatic transmission, achieves a combined fuel consumption as low as 5.4L per 100km.
I just learned that the extended warranty for the new Focus' dual-clutch transmission is typically around 5 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This is a manufacturer's extended warranty program targeting common issues with the PowerShift transmission, such as clutch slippage or jerking sensations. If you've just bought the car, I recommend checking the owner's manual or the official website for specific terms—these may vary by region. For example, it's 5 years in the U.S., and the Chinese market might be similar. If a malfunction occurs after the standard warranty expires, the extended warranty can save you a significant amount of money. I suggest regularly inspecting the transmission fluid and maintenance records to ensure smooth operation. After all, this transmission is prone to issues under heavy use, and early intervention can prevent roadside breakdowns. In short, safety first—if you notice unusual noises or vibrations, get it repaired as soon as possible.
I've been through this. The extended warranty for Focus' dual-clutch transmission is generally 5 years or 100,000 kilometers. My friend's 2019 model follows this standard. When he bought the new car, the salesperson emphasized that this extended warranty covers clutch plate wear and computer failures. If you're unsure, just call a Ford 4S store to inquire about the model year—they can quickly confirm. Don't wait until a failure occurs to panic—like in city traffic with frequent gear shifts, the dual-clutch can easily overheat. Regular maintenance and checking the lubrication system can delay failures. Remember, any unusual noise is a warning sign—get it checked at a professional shop immediately, all free during the warranty period. Driving safety is paramount; never overlook the details.
