    As long as there's no legal complaint among Ford owners nothing will happen definitely. The weak consumer protection law adds to this non action among owners.

    But perhaps if Ford owners affected by the DCT issues can get together and come up with a strong legal complaint probably Ford PH will be compelled to take action. There's Ford owners facebook group, probably someone there can start the ball rolling.

    We did it there because we were forced to. Shows how weak consumer protection is here.

    There was already a petition filed before but it didn't get enough steam to move forward. However, with what happened in Australia, sales of Ford small vehicles will just even get worse.

    I'm guessing this is also why Ford NA has dropped all its sedans already...

    Sira na pangalan nila kahit sa home market...

    Nope, it's not the reason. There are dropping off the small cars in favor of the big vehicles is because they are not making money out of its small cars. They are keeping the Mustang and one Focus model in the North America.

    The Europe and UK market is bigger for Ford in terms of small cars. Europeans are not fond of SUVs. Europeans love their Fiesta STs, Focus STs, and Focus RS but these three come in MT tranny.
