CLUTCH PEDAL WILL STAY STUCK DOWN IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION 6 SPEED. INTERMITTENT, BUT REPEATABLE (NOT EVERY TIME BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP HAPPENING) PREVENTS CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS. CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING. CAN HAPPEN WHETHER SHIFTING STOPPED OR WHILE IN MOTION. LIFTING ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BY HAND (OR FOOT) WILL REENGAGE THE CLUTCH. HAS HAPPENED WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IN AN INTERSECTION, COULD NOT PROCEED UNDER POWER IN ANY GEAR TILL MANUALLY (AWKWARDLY) REACHING DOWN AND LIFTING PEDAL WHILE TRAFFIC APPROACHING ME.

MAJOR PROBLEMS IN MY 2014 FORD FIESTA WITH THE DPS6 DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. AT TIMES YOU CANNOT GET IT TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CANNOT GET YOU CAR TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH BECAUSE IT IS STUCK IN FIRST. TACH IS HITTING 7000 RPM'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET IT TO SHIFT. YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLOWING AND ACCELERATING UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTS. THEN THE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU SHIFT TO PARK IT REALLY IS NOT IN PARK. A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH AND WARNS THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PARKED AND TAKEN THE KEY OUT. IF I AM ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL START ROLLING. YOU HAVE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THERE IS NO RELIABLE WAY TO GET IT TO GO INTO PARK. I HAVE THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO MINE. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD ONCE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE SAME THINGS WERE HAPPENING AGAIN.

RIGHT REAR DOOR LATCH STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I NOTICED MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR SWING OPEN. I STOPPED TO CLOSE IT BUT IT BOUNCED OFF THE FRAME WITH EACH ATTEMPT. WOULD NOT LATCH NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN GARAGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE CONTENTS.

THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH ON MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE FORD GARAGE SAID IT WOULD BE $306.83 + TAX TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED. THE CURRENTLY BROKEN PART REPLACED A RECALLED DOOR LATCH IN 2016, BUT APPARENTLY ONLY HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY. THE DOOR LATCH BROKE FOR THE SAME REASON AS THE 2015-2016 RECALL, BUT THERE IS NO CURRENTLY SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. I SHUT THE DOOR AND THOUGHT IT WAS CLOSED. AFTER DRIVING 4 MILES, I OPENED THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE/LATCH PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS BACKING UP WHEN THE ALERT DINGED ON THE DASH SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN. THE ALERT DID NOT SOUND WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED, WHICH CONCERNS ME THAT THE WIND CAUGHT THE OPENING OF THE DOOR WHILE GOING IN REVERSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS JUST AS FAULTY AS THE RECALLED DOOR LATCH.

IN 2017 MY BACK DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT SHUT, I DROVE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LATCHES ON FORD FIESTA 2012 WERE RECALLED AND THAT ALL THE LATCHES HAD TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH BROKE AGAIN AND I TO IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED BEFORE UNDER RECALL AND WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET, I SAID I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS EVER FIXED, AND I WAS TOLD THAT PART WAS ORDERED IN 2017. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT TAKE MY CAR UNTIL I FOR THE ANALYSIS RAN ON IT, WHICH WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN DONE FOR FREE, I WAS TOLD IT SHOWED THAT MY LOCK HAD TO BE CHANGED ALSO, BUT WHEN I WAS CALLED TO AND TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS READY AND A DIFFERENT PRICE WAS QUOTED IT WAS DIFFERENT, WHEN ASKED WHY I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ONLY THE LATCH THAT WAS BROKEN. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK OUT OF THE FOR TIMES THAT CALLED, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT A SALES REP HAD THE AUDACITY TO CALL ME TO "SEE IF THEY COULD GET ME IN ANOTHER VEHICLE"! I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS AND IT'S ONLY BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE, ONCE FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY DOOR THAT WAS RECALLED AND FOR LATCH WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALLED LATCH WAS REPLACED. I TRIED TO REPORT THIS TO FORD HEADQUARTERS AND WAS TOLD TO KEEP MY RECEIPT FOR MY MY JUST IN CASE
