Understand the transmission issues but I don't think they were bigger than the car itself.

It was the way Ford handled it. Rather than making customers happy with buying the cars back at a reasonable price and getting them into new cars they tried every way they could think of to get out of it, and thats before we get to how some dealerships acted.
Ford completely botched the launch way back in 2002 when they launched Focus alongside BA. Falcon stole all the attention and buyers didn’t even know Focus was available. By the time they did it was too late and they were stuck playing catch up ever since.
