UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE CLUTCH PART IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS A LONG GAP TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYBODY BECAUSE IT TAKES THAT LONG FOR ME TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED LIMIT. AS WELL, WHEN I DO PRESS DOWN TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC CAR.

I GOT MY 2012 FORD FIESTA IN SEPTEMBER AND EVERY TIME I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP(SOMETIMES WHEN IM IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT WILL DO THIS ALSO), WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS, YOU CAN GEEL THE TRANNY SLIPPING. FORD TRIED TELLING US IT WAS BECAUSE 2012 FORD FIESTAS HAVE A TRANSMISSION LIKE A STICK SHIFT. EVEN IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RUN LIKE A STICK SHIFT, IT SHOULDNT BE SLIPPING AS HARD AS IT DOES. MY CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE EVERYTIME IT DOES THIS. ITS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.

CAR AT RANDOM TIMES REFUSES TO GO INTO ANY GEAR. THIS IS THE DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MOST OFTEN HAPPENS AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS MOVED INTO A GEAR THE TRANSMISSION REMAINS IN NETURAL. YOU CAN OVER REVE THE ENGINE NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE NO GEAR ENGAGES. A FEW TIME WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSIONS GOES INTO NETURAL. SO FAR I'VE BEEN ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE LIMITED ACCESS ROAD ONTO A SIDE STREET WHEN THAT HAS HAPPENED. A FEW TIMES THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. YOU CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE RESTARTS BEFORE YOU CAN GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT OUT OF NETURAL. A FEW TIMES THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO START, I THINK THE TCU REFUSES TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NETURAL AT THAT POINT TO ALLOW IT TO START. WHEN THAT HAPPENS I HAVE HAD TO WAIT UPWARDS OF FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR CAN BE STARTED AND DRIVEN. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP. I'VE HAD THE FEW RECALL NOTICES RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION DONE. I FEEL THIS CARE IS NOT SAFE TO TAKE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I SEE MANY OTHER OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT FORD HAS EITHER BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A FIX OR IT HAS BEEN TO EXPENSIVE FOR THEN TO WANT TO IMPLEMENT. MAJORITY OF TIMES I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS HAS BEEN IN PARKING LOTS BUT OTHER TIMES HAS BEEN ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS(STOP SIGNS) OR LIMITED ACCESS 35-40MPH ROADS WHILE DRIVING OR TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT. I FEAR THE DAY IT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY. I'M LISTING THIS PAST MONDAY AS THE DATE SINCE IT WAS THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND YET FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I STATED ) AS THE MOST RECENT.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS AT SHIFT POINTS, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO ACTUALLY SHIFT INTO A GEAR. USUALLY OCCURS AT 10-15 MPH, AND/OR 20 - 25 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED; FIRST TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING WRONG. SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND RESET THE TCM; BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE FROM THERE. LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS WITHIN RANGE BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY WARMED UP FOR THEM TO HAVE PROPERLY TESTED IT. STILL SHIMMIES AND RUMBLES AT SHIFT POINTS ONCE IT'S WARMED. DATE OF MOST RECENT SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER IS ENTERED BELOW.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, SHUDDERS AND MAKES VERY UNUSUAL NOISES, I'VE HAD THE CLUTCH IN IT REPLACED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND 2 WEEKS AGO IT STARTS THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN ONLY NOW IT'S MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I START OFF UNTIL I GET OUT OF SECOND GEAR, ON OCCASIONS I COULD BE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR WOULD'T EVEN GO, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT DEALING WITH FORD ON THIS MATTER BECAUSE THEY NEED TO KEEP MY CAR AND LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING TO DRIVE, THEY REFUSE A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR MANY MILES WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON IN IT AND IT'S NOT SAFE AT ALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 I WAS SITTING IN MY FORD FIESTA (18K) ENGINE RUNNING AND IN PARK AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START THE CAR BY PUSHING THE PUSH TO START AND THE FIRST TIME IT DID NOT WORK BUT THE SECOND TIME THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ON MY WAY. IN OCTOBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM A JOB INTERVIEW AND DOING 40 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS GOING TO MAKE A SWEEPING RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY OFF CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK. I LOST CONTROL AS I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR WENT ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AND HIT A CURB AT ABOUT 30 MPH. MAJOR FRONT RIGHT DAMAGE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOUT 5 MILES TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY INTERVIEWED ME TWICE ON WHAT HAPPENED (STATING THAT THEY BELIEVED MY ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED) AND GAVE ME A CAR TO DRIVE WHILE FORD CORP. WAS INVESTIGATING. FORD CAME BACK AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT THERE WERE NO CODES BUT THE TRANSMISSION CODE(A KNOWN PROBLEM) I STATED THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY CODES IF THE IGNITION SHUT OFF BUT MY COMPLAINTS FELL ON DEATH EARS AS THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE FORD CORP MADE THEIR DECISION. I STATED THAT I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK (IT WAS A LEASE) THAT I WOULD NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT FORD COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE FIESTA THAT IS WHY THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU EXTRA INCENTIVE $$ TO LEASE SOMETHING ELSE. IN THE END I HAD TO PAY 4K FOR THE REPAIR AND I WAS 5K UPSIDE DOWN ON THE TRADE (WHICH I APPLIED TO THE NEW LEASE). FORD CORP DID NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT NOR DID THEY OFFER TO HELP IN ANYWAY. I DID LEASE A FORD FOCUS BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE A CAR AND DID NOT HAVE 9K TO WALK AWAY FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DO NOT BUY A FORD FIESTA. *JS

I AM BUYING AND PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE AND WORTHLESS CAR. CAN YOU HELP? I AM 66 WITH LITTLE INCOME. THIS CAR SHUDDERS AND HESITATES OFTEN. I WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALER IN HUTTO, TX, THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT SHUDDERS AND THEY WILL CHECK IT AND ORDERS PARTS THAT WILL TAKE 2 MONTHS. THE "SHUDDER" HAPPENS ON AND OFF, SO CHANCES OF THIS HAPPENING WHEN I TAKE IT TO DEALER ARE PER CHANCE. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE ARE JUST LEAVING THESE FIESTAS. I CANNOT DO THAT. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL GO FORWARD WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS OR NOT. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT CAN I DO? I WAS SOLD A HORRIBLE CAR. *JS

SINCE NEW THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAS HAD LURCHING AND JERKING ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING THAT HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS LURCHED AND STALLED MISSING THE NEXT GEAR AND ALMOST CAUSED US TO GET SIDE SWIPED WHILE MAKING A TURN. WE WERE LEFT STRANDED AND HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE WHICH FORD EVENTUALLY PAID FOR. NOW AFTER GETTING A TRANS MALFUNCTION WARNING THE FORD DEALER IS SAYING WE NEED A NEW CLUTCH (THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC...THAT IS WHAT WE PAID FOR). THE CLUTCH HAS ONLY WORN OUT BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE LURCHING AND MISSING GEARS CAUSE BY THE POOR DESIGN DESPITE SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED BY THE DEALER. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN OR PULLING ONTO A ROADWAY OR MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE. I DON'T THINK THE CAR IS SAFE BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. IN FACT I WONT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE I THINK AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. WE HAVE HAD CONSTANT TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE NEW. FORD DENIED AN PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND HAVING THESE ISSUES. FORD IS WILLFULLY PUTTING ITS PAYING CUSTOMERS AT GREAT RISK PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY. WE HAVE RECORDS OF REPEATEDLY BRINGING THIS CAR IN FOR REPAIR. FORD (I BELIEVE INTENTIONALLY) DID NOT DOCUMENT MY WIFE'S COMPLAINTS OR THAT THEY EVEN LOOKED AT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS NEWER AND THEY KEPT SAYING MY WIFE WAS CRAZY AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. TURNS OUT THEY WERE WRONG AND THERE HAVE BEEN MAJOR PROBLEMS FROM THE START AND WE ALL KNOW THAT NOW. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE ALL THE TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY WITHOUT NOTICE AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. GO UP HILLS THE TRANSMISSION HAS CUT OUT BEFORE AND THEN SHOT FORWARD AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. DOOR LATCHES CAN AND WILL COME OPEN ALLOWING FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF UP HILL HOLDING FUNCTION AND ROLLS BACK INTO OTHER CARS. THIS HAS OCCURED ON MY CAR AFTER THE RECENT FORD FIX TO THEIR TRANSMISSION DESIGN THAT FIXED THE ROUGH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE SEQUENCE IS: COME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT ON A HILL, CAR HOLDS THE NORMAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FUNCTION OF HOLDING THE CAR'S POSITION, BUT WITHIN 30 SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION ASSUMES A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND BEGANS TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO THE CAR BEHIND YOU. TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD GARAGE (GILLIS AUTO CENTER, SHELTON, WA 98584) WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A FORD DESIGN (DEFICIENCY) AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. THERE IS NO SAFETY NOTICE PUT OUT BY FORD ON THE PROBLEM.
