FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR ABOUT A YEAR IN A HALF NOW WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY CAR AND GO TO START THE CAR, IT WILL SPUTTER AND SHUT OFF. IT WILL DO THIS FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AFTER GETTING GAS. THEN I WILL DRIVE AWAY. WHEN WAITING TO PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION IT WILL SHUT OFF. RECENTLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK IT WILL SPUTTER A LITTLE RPMS WILL GO FROM 1 TO ALMOST 0. TODAY 9/12/2019 I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I COASTED UP TO THE LIGHT PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED IT AGAIN. IT SPUTTERED AND AS I CAME UP TO THE NEXT RED LIGHT IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS DOES THIS NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR WHEN I FILL UP. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT CAUSE IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR. NOT WHAT I WANT GOING ON WITH THEM IN THE CAR AND IN TRAFFIC DAILY.

AS I WAS REVERSE PARKING IN A PARKING LOT MY TRANSMISSION JUST STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GO REVERSE, I HEARD THE REVVING BUT SHE WAS NOT MOVING. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT SHE WAS REVVING BUT DIDN'T MOVE. I SHUT HER OFF HER FIVE MINUTES AFTER THAT AND RESTARTED HER AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK HER. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, LEAVING THE PARKING LOT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK FORWARD AND HAVING A HARD TIME TRANSITIONING INTO THE NEXT GEAR (IT'S AUTOMATIC) IT STALLED AS I WAS SLIGHTLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC IT WAS VERY SCARY. MY CAR HAS 54,000 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR DURING NORMAL CITY DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCK UP, BECOME UNABLE TO DRIVE, AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER RESTARTED, ONE OF THE CLUTCHES REPLACED, THEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN DUE TO "IMMOBILIZER MALFUNCTION" DESIGN FOR THE CAR IS GREAT BUT THE MECHANICS ARE TERRIBLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE CAR WILL NOT START FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. ONCE DRIVING THE RPMS WILL FLUCTUATE RAPIDLY WHILE I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE CAR WILL HAVE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND THEN SPEED UP AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TO STOP IT. IF I HAVE TO STOP AND START TOO MANY TIMES IN TRAFFIC THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE THE RPMS TO FLUCTUATE AND THEN THE CAR WILL STALL. I HAVE TO THROW IT IN PARK AND THEN TRY TO RESTART REAL FAST AND WHEN I RESTART IT IT ACCELERATES QUICKLY.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE HAS LOCKED UP SEVERAL TIMES. WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THIS 2015 FORD FIESTA IN JANUARY 2016, I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE CAR WAS JERKING AND WOULDN'T TAKE THE GAS OR BACK UP. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED SOME ITEMS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. SINCE THAT DAY, I'VE TAKEN THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE TECHNICIANS HAVE STARTED TELLING ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. IT HAS STALLED AND WOULD NOT MOVE AND CARS WERE COMING THAT HAS ALMOST GOTTEN MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEARLERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY KEEP REFRESHING IT BUT NOTHING CHANGES. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE MY DAUGHTER PARK THE CAR SINCE SHE'S A COLLEGE STUDENT AND PURCHASE HER A NEW VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE PURCHASING THIS CAR. FORD HAS BEEN NO HELP IN RESOLVING THIS SITUATION. SHE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON A COUNTY STREET ON 8/13/2018 BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE'S ISSUES BUT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO HAVE COME ON. THE CAR HAS 85000 MILES ON IT AND WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT. I THINK WE HAVE AN ISSUE HERE OF ITS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY THROUGH FORD UP TO 65000 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ONLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN CAR HOES INTO DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR IS HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER REV BUT MY SPEED REMAINS THE SAME OR DECREASES. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER OVER TIME AND THE PEDAL WILL BECOME SPONGY. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY LARGE INCONVENIENCE AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER. I WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WOULD BE DEEMED MY FAULT EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD ME THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN CONTACTING FORD DEARBORN AND PERRY FORD THEY TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO OR I CAN PAY A FEE.

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMATIC POWER SHIFT DUAL-CLUTCH 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE SINCE NOVEMBER 2018 FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FORD CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IN THIS RANGE OF YEARS. THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE TO EXPLAIN WHY I DON'T GET THE EXTENDED COVERAGE WHEN MY VEHICLE CLEARLY QUALIFIES. THERE SHOULD BE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR 100K MILES VS 60K MILES. WHEN I ASK ABOUT IT, THEY TELL ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE CAR ONLY HAS 53K MILES ON IT. IT HAS SUFFERED FAILED CLUTCHES, WORN INPUT SHAFT BEARINGS, AND PROBABLY A BAD TCM. IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW FOR THE TCM. THE PROBLEMS CAUSE SHUTTERING, LURCHING, POOR ACCELERATION, AND FAILURE TO DOWNSHIFT, WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN FROM A DEAD STOP OR DECELERATION FOR A TURN, AND ACCELERATION.
