ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CLACKING SOUND IN DASH DUE TO A FAULTY A/C ACTUATOR. (CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED) THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED, IT LAST A FEW SECONDS AND QUITS. THE DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT'S BAD AGAIN AFTER 20K MORE MILES. (PART #AV1Z 19E616 K) FROM WHAT I CAN TELL READING THE FORUMS ALL FIESTA'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU

THE CAR SHUTTERS, DELAYS, AND/OR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I HAVE BEEN TO FORD ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THEM TO FIX THE SYSTEM SETTINGS ON THE COMPUTER IN MY CAR, WHICH THE RECALLS CLAIMS FIXES THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ATTACHED UNDER DOCUMENTATION IS INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENS NOT ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, BUT EVEN WHEN I JUST SPEED UP ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I SEE TO BE EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I AM NERVOUS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER FORD CLAIMS THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THIS IS "NORMAL."

FORDS POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT CORRECTLY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THE CAR SHUDDERS, SHAKES, AND GROANS WITHING THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AS ALMOST ALL FORD DEALERSHIPS WILL TELL YOU FORD REALLY HAS NO FIX FOR THEIR DANGEROUS DESIGN OF THIS TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET FORDS SELF-IMPLEMENTED TEST TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. INSTEAD THEY REFLASH THE TCM TO RETRAIN THE COMPUTER, THIS DOES NOTHING BUT PROLONG THEIR DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS, AS YOU THEN HAVE TO DRIVE VEHICLE ANOTHER 1000 MILES BEFORE THEY WILL ALLOW DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK AT VEHICLE AGAIN. FORD IS TRYING TO AVOID A RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED BY THE NHTSA TO RECALL AND REPLACE ALL FORD FIESTA AND FOCUS WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILING ARE SURGING OF VEHICLE, LOSS OF DRIVE POWER, SHUDDER, HARSH ENGAGEMENT OF ENGINE POWER, LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC ACTIVATE CLUTCHES.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH 2016 AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND MY CAR SEEMS TO STALL/SHAKE AND I HAVE IT IN AUTOMATIC, WHEN I HAVE IN THE KIND OF SHIFT THAT I DO IT DOESN'T DO IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. A FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT AT 2015 FORD FOCUS AND HERS IS DOING IT AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
THIS PROBLEM SHOWED UP ON THE FIRST DAY WE PICKED UP THIS BRAND NEW 2015 FORD FIESTA WITH LESS THAN 25 MILES ON THE ODO. WHILE WE WERE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AS WE LEFT THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND ENTERED THE SIDE STREET THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE RPMS WENT UP TO OVER 4000 BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEVER ENGAGED. THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND US AS WE WERE TURNING HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY TO KEEP FROM HITTING US AS WE COASTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS THE CAR ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED HARD AND JUMPED FORWARD AS IF I HAD SLAMMED IT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY MORE TIMES WITH MY WIFE, SISTER AND MYSELF AS DRIVER. EACH TIME WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM EITHER ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR THE VEHICLES FOLLOWING US.

THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAPPEN IN BOTH CITY AND INTERSTATE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND I WOULD JUST BARELY BE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IN 70 MPH TRAFFIC. STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE WOULD ALLOW NORMAL OPERATION FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. THE PROBLEM WOULD THEN OCCUR AGAIN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD THROTTLE BODY WITH A CODE OF P2011. I'VE READ THAT FORD HAS A HISTORY OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODIES. IT SEEMS THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE ON NEWER MODELS.
