Ford Australia have known of a significant fault with the "Powershift DPS6 transmission" on this vehicle for a while. They have denied the fault and refused to contribute costs to rectify complaints. There has been a class action against Ford Australia late last year (2018) which they lost (Biljana Capic V Ford Motor Company of Australia).
My wife took her car into the local Ford dealership to get the car examined for this fault and it was determined that the car did have the fault. A warranty claim was submitted to Ford Australia to se if they would contribute any costs. They declined based on the argument that the car had not been serviced with them for the last 5 years.
People considering buying a vehicle with this type of transmission should consider this complaint before purchasing. This type of transmission is not isolated to the Fiesta but also to the Focus and Ecosport (These are of the Australian market).
