MY VEHICLE STARTS SHRUGGING & SHIVERING WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIVER IS AT TIMES TOO HARD TO CONTROL AND CAN'T FOCUS ON DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN THE FOURTH TIME WITH THE SAME CLUTCH ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAYS I GOT TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY GET A NEW CLUTCH ORDERED WHICH IS 21 WEEKS FROM NOW. I HAVE A KID AT THE BACK SEAT AND NOT COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT WORD DOCUMENT FOR FULL DETAILS. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO YEARS NOW, I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AT THE TIME I WAS COMMUTING 120 MILES DAILY TO SUPPORT A PROJECT. I WAS VERY EARLY ON THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE. I RETUNED IT FIRST FOR A DEFECTIVE TIRE, DEFECTIVE BACKUP SENSOR AND UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. KINGS FORD (CINCINNATI OH) REPLACED THE TIRE (I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TIRE), REPLACED THE BACKUP SENSOR (WARRANTY) AND 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. AFTER THIS, I RETUNED THE VEHICLE MULTIPLY TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. AFTER ABOUT TWO MORE TIMES OF KINGS FORD 'RESETTING/UPDATING' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE CLUTCHES. THIS WAS AT 20,000 MILES. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO KINGS FORD TWO MORE TIMES FOR UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. EACH TIME THEY 'RESET/UPDATED' THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS FIRMWARE. YESTERDAY, I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE TO PICKUP THE CAR AND RETURN IT TO KINGS FORD DUE TO UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. ALSO, I HAVE ANOTHER FAULTY TIRE AND THE AIR HANDING ACTUATORS IN THE DASH ARE MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLY NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLES UNSAFE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE HAS DISABLED ITSELF IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. I HAD NAVIGATE THE CAR FROM THE FAST LANE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY AVAILABLE POWER. I NARROWLY MISSED A SET OF LARGE COMMERCIAL TRUCKS! ONCE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I HAD TO CYCLE THE IGNITION BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUTS. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLY OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE CORRECTLY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC'NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED, CERTAINLY LEADING TO A FEW ROAD RAGE INCIDENTS.

ON 10/26/16, WE (4 OF US) FINISHED SHOPPING AND GOT BACK INTO MY PARKED CAR MY DAUGHTER EXCLAIMED THAT THE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO SHUT IT, EVEN PEERED INTO THE LATCH AREA, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHER DOORS. IT WAS AROUND 5:30 P.M. WE HAD NOTHING TO SECURE THE DOOR, SO WE MOVED MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAT TO THE MIDDLE AND I SAT IN THE BACK SEAT AND HELD THE DOOR WHILE MY DAUGHTER DROVE US HOME SLOWLY. THE NEXT MORNING I USED A ROPE TO HOLD THE DOOR WHILE I DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE LATCH FOR $344.40. I USED MY CAR PAYMENT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. IF THIS HAPPENS TO ALL MY OTHER DOORS, IT WILL ADD UP 1377.76. I HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR RECEIPT. I CAN SCAN FOR YOU IF NEEDED.

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

I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FIESTA IN DECEMBER 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS RESOLVED FOR SOME TIME, BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW RESURFACING. THE FIESTA TENDS TO SHUDDER AND HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP TO ENTER A HIGHWAY.
