Problem with dual mass flywheel...where do I stand with warranty?

zerodarkthirty

Took possession of an 09 Ford Focus exactly two weeks ago this tuesday...noticed something while driving it which hadn't been obvious while test driving it, when stationary and the clutch is depressed, I can feel quite strong vibrations coming from the clutch. From doing a search of the issue, have identified it could be the dual mass flywheel and is quite expensive to fix.....I have a 6 month warranty from the ford dealer that I got it from...where do I stand when it comes to getting this repaired by them, does it depend if the issue is covered by the warranty, I have read it is blamed on driver wear and tear , but i have only had it two weeks......will it be my responsibility to foot the bill as didn't detect issue in the first place...??

Appreciate any advice......

Clutches are rarely warrantied but a fly wheel being needed 2 weeks after purchase can only mean if was f*cked when you bought it so I would certainly be wanting it taken care of by the dealer.

You need to bring the car back to the dealer and have the problem properly diagnosed. If it is the DMF then I would expect them to replace it given the car was only bought 2 weeks ago so it was hardly done by yourself in such a short time. You need to problem identified first though.
