All Ford had to do was stop using them as soon as the problem became apparent. Replace them with a real transmission after a year or two-.
Now that Ford stopped selling the Fiesta and Focus in the US, the new ones not sold here have a regular automatic instead of a DCT.

While the UAW has many problems, they are not to blame for the quality of cars. In fact, Toyota had a UAW factory (in California!), where they produced cars that are just as good as their Japanese-made counterparts. They taught GM how to make cars like Toyota, but of course GM learned absolutely nothing
The real difference is the management! Japanese companies think long-term, rather than just the next quarter like Detroit
