I don't think the problem is that a car broke down (happens to any car). But the higher end the car, the higher end the service you expect. A Ford Focus is anything but premium so I'm sure few people expect premium services attached to the purchase. A ~$60.000 car is a different story.

Ford gives pretty much no service for 201x Focus's when the transmission goes to pot.

A slow breakdown of a transmission, even if it's premature, doesn't strand you out of nowhere.
