So my 5 year old Powershift Gearbox recently tried to kill itself. Led me to finding lots of complaints and issues about this gearbox and finding out about the successful class actions in USA, Australia and Canada.

Ford wanted to replace my gearbox for big £'s but I have found someone, who more or less makes a living off fixing powershifts, who will repair it for a lot less than Ford wants... (he also told me he thinks there are two design faults in the gearbox... so he thinks my gearbox will break again, in time... If I service it more often than the recommended 3 yearly then I will extend the life but the box will fail again as it has a fatal flaw in it's design).

When I called Ford to see what they would do to sort this out I was told I was "wasting my time" seeking ford's assistance in resolving this issue.

It seems Ford only listen to customers when enough of them take legal action against them, so does anyone know if there is a class action against Ford planned or ongoing in UK relating the Powershift gearbox?
