Ford Focus 2016: Does the new car have transmission issues?

Does the 2016 Ford Focus Sport model have the shuddering issues, or was it the earlier models?

The shuddering that caused such a flap with the Focus was related to the dual-clutch automatic gearbox that was fitted to earlier models. The 2016 model has a conventional six-speed auto and doesn’t have those issues.
