That's really interesting. I took a quick look at Wikipedia to see if they had changed it and came up with the below. I'm still not convinced this type of transmission is superior to a good conventional automatic except in high-performance situations, but I'm glad to hear the software updated have helped.
Along with the Ford Fiesta, the Focus equipped with the Ford PowerShift transmission has received much criticism due to transmission shuddering, including several lemon law claims. Ford claims that the transmission, a semi-automatic transmission, is designed to improve fuel economy and has issued several software upgrades for the transmission. To date, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not required Ford to issue a recall, nor has Ford issued a recall voluntarily. Focus models equipped with the conventional manual transmission have not been affected by the reliability issues.
