I think I'd want to make sure that was identified in the computerized service records. Kinda sounds like it wasn't, unless they went back in a corrected it. And if they did, they need to give you a new printout. Which they should if you drop by and ask.

A shame that Ford's DCT seems to fall far short in various ways as compared to the excellent one in various VW/Audis. It would be nice to have one of the caliber of a GTI's as an option in the ST twins.

I was looking at VW in 2010 and owners posted their DCT reported similar problems. Plus a delay and then a clunk when pulling from a stop. So I moved on. Maybe they got that figured out by now?
