Transmission malfunction on 2010 Ford Focus

The transmission malfunction alert comes on all the time in the 2010 Ford Focus I bought secondhand two years ago. I've seen a few people have had this issue and I would like some advice on what to do about it.

It’s likely the clutches need replacing; it is a common problem with your model. Take it to a Ford dealer and ask them to approach Ford about repairing it under warranty at no cost to you. You could also approach Ford’s customer service people directly. The problem you will have in getting them to fix it for you is that the car is now seven years old and you bought it secondhand.
