    If they're filing suit over unexpected needed repairs, puwede.

    But for jerking and delayed acceleration, that's a bit OA.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Lawyers see it differently.... a lawyer probably felt a sudden surge and his head hit the headrest a little heavier .... hospital record say slight concussion.

    They probably have a strong case.

    While Powershifts are indeed herky-jerky in traffic... disappointment with performance doesn't seem to me to be a valid basis for class action.

    As long as the car delivers the advertised economy and performance and the manufacturer doesn't promise CVT-smooth acceleration, what are you going to charge them with? Making a worse transmission than competitors?

    Kulang. If they're charging due to unreasonable running costs (frequent clutch pack changes and transmission re-calibrations), puwede pa.

    Is that the nature of powershift? Was it advertised as herky jerky.. like yan ang expectation? Power jerk? And, hind ba mas madali masisira yan kung ganon?

    How about in the Philippines?

    May warranty extension ba mga Powershift owners?

    Not much of a solution.

    Let's wait for the outcome of the legal case against Ford at Thailand:

    Ford Thailand faces B24m class action suit | Bangkok Post: news

    The users of Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus and Ford EcoSport filed the charges in April last year against four of Ford’s subsidiaries -- Ford Motor Company (Thailand) Co Ltd, Ford Sales and Services (Thailand) Co Ltd, Ford Operations (Thailand) Co Ltd and Ford Services (Thailand) Co Ltd. They accused the companies of selling unsafe products due to substandard production and distribution and of false advertising.

    At the time, 10 owners, representing 421 others, filed the case, seeking damages totalling 24.7 million baht. After a settlement, 113 withdrew, leaving 308 as plaintiffs in the case.

    The court scheduled to decide whether to accept the case on Monday.

    1st repair? Let them repair or replace it. Ganun talaga kaya may warranty. Tell them to loan you a car during the repair period. Haven't heard a lot of issues sa transmission ng current Everest.

    they said it is still under investigation kaya nde kami makarequest ng service vehicle (its been almost 3 weeks since it was brought back to them).. also our first change oil was not done sa casa so they said it voids the warranty.. nde ba magkaiba naman ang engine sa transmission? they claim that my case is isolated.

    this was the second repair .. after one week it lost power again but this time we were able to video the incident. they declared that the vehicle was not safe to use :-(
