I have a three year old Ford Fiesta automatic that has 14,500 miles on the clock. From time to time, the engine judders when accelerating from stationary or at low speeds. My Ford dealer says it needs a new gearbox, at £1500, because the clutch material is not working properly. The car is now out of warranty by a couple of months. The dealer has offered to put in a good will claim to Ford on my behalf, but because one of the services was not done at a Ford dealership, they don't think I have much chance of success. I feel that a car with such a low mileage should not have this sort of problem.
