Possible Purchase Of A Focus With Powershift

I currently have a 2009 Mondeo 2.3 Ghia Estate with a 'traditional' six speed auto box.

The car is great but it's a bit big for what I now need, plus it does like a drink!

I'm currently thinking about buying a smaller estate and the Focus Titanium is high up the list. Unfortunately I have to have an auto as my left knee isn't quite as good as it used to be.

Any car I buy will be used which means I'll be probably be looking at one of the new models with model year 2011 onwards.

The one thing that is holding me back though is the problem that some people have had with the Powershift gearbox and I suppose also the way that Ford dealers have then dealt with those problems. The last thing I want to do is buy a problem car and then have it off the road for weeks or months, even if it is covered by a warranty.

I would therefore appreciate it if someone can update me with the current situation regarding the Powershift problem and perhaps advise if any models or model years are free of the problem.

Thanks in advance

David
