Problem overview

Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing transmission and clutch issues, prompting warranty extensions and reimbursements from Ford for specific models with the DPS6 automatic transmission. These owners may face problems such as loss of transmission engagement while driving, no-start situations, or a lack of power related to the transmission system. Ford has extended the warranty coverage on the transmission control module (TCM) to 10 years or 150,000 miles, and customers who incurred out-of-pocket expenses for clutch repairs are eligible for reimbursement. Additionally, for vehicles that have exceeded the warranty limits, Ford is offering a one-time replacement of the TCM until June 30, 2025, to address these ongoing concerns.
