It has NOT been resolved. At 62,000 miles, the original transmission blew and had to be replaced in 2021. In spring of 2023, issues with the faulty TCM continually propped up and has been a considerable financial burden, as I've replaced components of the DPS6 to no avail and spent a considerable amount of money trying to resolve the issue. Shifting is challenging, the vehicle does not always turn on consistently and the transmission will occasionally kick into neutral and skip gears. I've replaced the actuators and the \"lifetime\" A/T fluid (which also should be investigated), and purchased a new TCM, which has been an even bigger arduous expense to get programmed and replaced. Overall, this has just been a huge financial burden and has cost me far more than the vehicle is currently worth. I'm displeased that NHTSA has not yet gotten involved and held Ford accountable for their poor craftsmanship.   The TCM issue began in mid-April 2023, starting with skipping gears and jerking of the car. No accident occurred from this, but the car is a hazard to drive, but I rarely have any alternative as it is my daily driver that I pay a lot of money to be stuck with.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
