Time will tell if 17s were fixed. Court orders don't prove anything.
I had a 17 for about two weeks as a rental. Judging from the amount of clutch slippage the programming allowed during slow maneuvers and at creeping speeds, I highly doubt anything got fixed. Small improvements don't equal a proper fix.
Proof is in the pudding. In the markets where ford will still sell cars like Australia and EU, they are using a traditional, torque converter, automatic transmission.
In NA ford will no longer sale cars, with exception of few models, and I bet they had these plans for a long time before the official announcement. It made no sense for them to switch transmissions, so instead they applied more temporary fixes to limp this turd of a transmission to the end.
