One early problem with the Ford DCT, it originally had faulty seals that leaked fluid onto the clutch plates. To get to the seal the transmission had to be torn down completely with special tools, and when reassembled there is also a relearning procedure for the computer. If the dealer techs were taking shortcuts the reassembly could cause even more issues.

Watch a tech tear one down to fix the seal.

They are so bad Ford is doing a buy back of 2014 - 2016 Fiesta and 2012 - 2016 Focus. They exclude 2017 and forward because it is assumed the information is out about the problems now. Google focus fiesta class action lawsuit.

The fun started early for my 2016 Focus. The Fiesta and Focus were my first 2 Ford's and the Dealer told me they were not the same transmission now I'm part of 2 class action lawsuits against Ford instead of 1. Ford, Never Again.

Sorry about your cars man.
Don't worry you have warranty. It will be fine.
Not every car has the same problems as other ones. You may never have any problems.
I have always had GM stuff and except for the intake gasket fiasco, I have not had any of the problems the folks here at BITOG describe.
To listen to some of the folks here my GM stuff should have exploded and took out half the planet years ago based of what their cousin's uncle's brother's car did.
Enjoy and drive the new car. If or when something happens worry about it then.

Thanks to all with words of encouragement. In SE TX, we are still trying to recover from a massive flood that has never been seen since Biblical times. Destruction is still all around us, and I have not only lost my two family cars but was also displaced from my home, which is still under repairs.
The new Fiesta was a ray of sunshine breaking through at the end of a horrifically bad month. The last thing I needed was to hear that the Trans in my new car is a ticking time bomb.
