    2012 Focus Titanium auto transmission noise

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Focus Ford Focus Advice Ford Focus 2012
    My 2012 Ford Focus Titanium automatic has done 20,000 km and has been trouble free. It's only had two new rear tyres. But I am hearing a knocking noise when travelling at low speeds. The noise is only intermittent and lasts for seconds and usually when travelling uphill and coming from below the center of the car. I have had it back to the dealer who has road-tested and checked it, but found nothing. They tell me that there are few problems with this model. Could the noise becoming from the transmission as the car goes uphill and is changing down a gear? Should I insist that they examine the transmission fully?

    I would want the dealer to check the transmission. It's a dual-clutch auto and they have been known to vibrate in the Focus under load like you describe.
