ford mechanics/ garage recommendations

dublingirl83

hi,

I own a 2019 ford focus 1.0 eco boost with 102,00km.

problems started suddenly about a week ago-i came to a stop on a roundabout one evening and when i tried to put car into 1st to take off it kept popping back out/ making crunching noises. got the car home by starting off in second gear. I rang local ford garage who said probably a linkage issue. no panic.

then over the weekend as i was driving up a steep incline i could feel the gear stick vibrate, then the revs started increasing and next minute i couldn't engage the clutch at all and i had to pull into side of the road, and a smell of burning.

tried to start the car- dash was like a Christmas tree, every warning came on- steering wheel malfunction, front camera not functioning etc

AA came, he couldn't get the car started at all. His report was-" revs but wouldn't moveSuspect clutch burnt outVehicle now won't start but starter motor is taking over 200amps on crankFurther investigation required Engine Oil Level Ok. Coolant Level Ok. -

any recommendations of where to take the car? or just go to ford?

thank you

Do you have the 7 year warranty?

the ford website says base warranty expired 2021, but when i rang up a ford garage he said the clutch might be covered for 7 years or unto 100,000km.

Ive 102,000km on the car so he said not covered.

Back many years ago we used Esmonde Motors in Stillorgan but they closed down and one of those service managers started up there.

Wondering if the dash clocks have a bearing on your problem + other things.
