Dude's been tending his issue for a decade, I bet he'd have at least those like him as a customer. In a metro he might have a pretty lucrative business. On the other hand in the metro there is probably someone who already does this work, but they are very hard to find!
Ford lied to its own dealership when my coworker went to them about a transmission slip with his 2012 Ford Fiesta.
He had the people at the dealership drive the car. They acknowledged the problem and got on a call together with Ford. Ford refused to even entertain the idea there was a flaw but less than a year later they came up with a "software patch".
Pete would bring it up with anyone he met. Do not buy a Ford Focus / Ford Fiesta with automatic transmission.
