Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Buy From Clair Their Awful!
uh thanks for the oh so detailed explanation, is there a story behind this or do you just like putting down random dealerships?
without a story for backup id say this is just personal preference and not a dealership experience

well the ford "fsck this" focus has to be the worst car on the market, i like its looks but its awful, review magazines suck up to manufacturers so they can test drive the better cars from the company first (read, new mustang).
consumer reports/other independant reviewers have given that car the worst ratings in just about every category

all dealerships are out to get your money, do not believe for a second that there exists honest dealerships, and you will be prepared...they are all out to screw you just like any other business, some just screw less than others to get repeat business
sure he may cut you a deal below msrp and youre like oh wow what a deal, but he doesnt tell you theres been recalls or theres a promo offer so hes gonna make a lot of money even if you think hes gonna lose money...
all of em are sheisters...and how come they always have greasy hair? lol
anyways i never go to ford dealerships ive been to a half dozen and i swear they must be owned by the same guy theyre as crooked as they come, a guy i work with used to work there and he talks like a ford car dealer all day it drives me nuts its like hes trying to sell you a product in a normal conversation

You shouldn't have had to bring it back. The second it makes the sound, you know its there. And the second that it makes the sound is going to be when you shift.
Did you tell the people what the test driver said, or did you just let them do w/e with your car?
You said you bought the car, and 3 days later it started having the problem. Then at the end, the clincher is the warranty is over. The shortest term I've seen from a dealership on a warranty (which is rare) is one month. How long did it take you between each experience to go back to them and complain?
If you don't report it in a timely manner, when you *know* that the warranty is close to expiration, then its your fault.
