By Phoebe Wall Howard / Detroit Free Press
Ford Motor Co. has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit with nearly 2 million owners and former owners of Focus and Fiesta vehicles with bad dual-clutch transmissions known as the DPS6, according to court documents filed late Friday.
A lawyer who helped broker the deal on behalf of consumers said the Ford payout could exceed $100 million.
