Ques 1 - do the current (2015) Focus have the same gearbox shudder problems or has the problem now been completely eliminated? There don't seem to be many complaining since about 2014.

Ques 2 - slightly different question - would like to hear any feedback about the ecoboost engines that are now appearing on the scene. Any problems with these engines?

Thanks
I have an ST with the ecoboost engine.....i have had an issue with idle hunting and stalling. There are a few other FF members that have experienced the same. Its a unnecessary fight with Ford to have it resolved under warranty. Even though Ford US have issued Technical Services Bulletin and a subsequent recall, Ford Aus have not reacted as yet.
