This is the first time I had to replace the clutch. I used to enjoy driving this vehicle, until I heard about the class action lawsuit that consumers launched against Ford Motor Company after they bought Ford Fiesta and Focus vehicles. Ford Fiesta and Focus vehicles are equipped with a "dual dry clutch" (it has 2 dry clutches that take the power from the transmission and deliver it to the engine to make the vehicle move; these clutches don't have any lubrication going into the clutch system to help protect the clutch plates from premature wear-out and failure). I had the clutch replaced and I needed to spend 6 hours at the dealership to have the job completed. The vehicle is still under warranty, so the only positive in this story is that I don't have to pay $600 to have the clutch replaced. I'm beginning to wonder if I want to stay with Ford. Given Ford's reputation for building disappointing vehicles, I don't think I want to.
