My Ford Focus ate its own transmission at 72,000 miles right in the middle of a dinner rush
The car just stopped shifting in the turning lane of a busy intersection near the restaurant, and the tow truck driver said he sees at least one of these a month because Ford put a terrible dual-clutch transmission in them that was destined to fail.

The tow driver probably meant the Powershift, not a regular dual clutch.

@walker.andrew yeah you're probably right, the tow guys usually lump all DCTs together. Make sure you flush the transmission fluid and replace the filter after it's been towed, can save you from a rebuild later.
