Currently, Ford is facing several legal actions related to the Powershift (DPS6) transmission issues. This ill-reputed transmission found application in Fiesta and Focus models. In the latest Powershift-related judicial case, a couple, who pulled out of the class-action lawsuit, filed a lawsuit against Ford in connection with the problematic gearbox installed in their 2014 Focus car.

The media source GM Authority has gained access to curious data on the abovementioned judicial cases. According to these materials, the automaker may have been well informed about the problems connected to its 8L90 and 8L45 transmission units as far back as September of 2014.

Despite these claims the carmaker hasn’t raised the question about possible recalls of trucks or gearbox replacement.
