TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FIESTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND UPON APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2015 FORD FIESTA STALLS OUT EVERY TIME AFTER I GET GAS. IT TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES TO GET IT STARTED UP AGAIN. ONCE I DO GET IT STARTED IT DOES DRIVE JERKY WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. AFTER ABOUT DRIVING FOR 15 MINS MOST OF THE TIME MY CAR GOES BACK TO DRIVING NORMAL UNTIL I GET GAS AGAIN. I RECENTLY SAW THE FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL TANK PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED IT STALL OUT AFTER FUELING, THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FIESTA.

POWER TRAIN
MANY TIMES, MY CAR DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT AFTER BEING IN A PASSING GEAR AND THEN LETTING OFF THE GAS. IT STAYS AT 5,000 RPM FOR A FEW SECONDS. JULY, 2018, MY CAR WAS STOPPED AS I WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO TURN LEFT, MY CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T ON, MY CAR WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN APPROACHING CAR. SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 MY CAR WAS STOPPED, I PUT IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SHIMMIED AND MOVED FORWARD INSTEAD OF REVERSE.

EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR, WHEN I PUT FUEL IN IT, AND TURN IT ON, IT'LL STALL IF I'M STOPPED OR AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. IT'LL DO IT FOR THE WHOLE DAY AFTER I PUT GAS IN IT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF PRIOR TO FILLING IT IS EMPTY, HALF TANK OR FULL TANK. IF I SIT AT A LIGHT LONG ENOUGH AFTER FILLING, IT TURNS OFF.

ENGINE
ACCORDING TO THE VIN SEARCH, MY 2015 FORD FIESTA ST (XXXX), IS NOT INCLUDED IN SAFETY RECALL 17S09. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE FLUID LEVEL DROPPED UNEXPECTEDLY IN MY CAR, CAUSING SEVERE OVERHEATING, REQUIRING THE CAR TO BE SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, AND IT IS UNCLEAR WHERE OR HOW THE COOLANT LEVEL DROPPED. THERE WAS NO WARNING FROM THE CAR COMPUTER. AN ENGINE RUNNING PROPERLY SHOULD NOT BURN COOLANT. I AM NOW BEING CHARGED TO HAVE THE COOLANT SYSTEM EXAMINED, EVEN THOUGH THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE RECALL AND ASSOCIATED COMPLAINTS. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
