What to check before you pay

2012–2016 PowerShift (DPS6) automatic: shudder, slipping, delayed engagement, clutch and TCM failures; Ford extended coverage on clutches and control modules and settled a class action
2017–2018 automatics are improved but use the same design; verify the latest clutch and TCM revisions were installed
TCM failure can put the car in limp mode without warning; a TCM recall applies to many 2012–2015 cars
