VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, KEYLESS REMOTE STOPPED WORKING, ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TRIPOMETER STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO THE FACTORY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED, BECAUSE IT WAS 2 WEEKS OUT OF 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. ALL OF THESE ARE SUPPOSEDLY THE RESULT OF A BAD SPEED SENSOR BETWEEN THE AXLE AND THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

FIRST COMPLAINT FILED 7/13 REFERENCE # 10524870. TRANSMISSION MADE A CLANKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING FROM 10-60 MPH. ALSO JERKS BACK ON OCCASION FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND GOING FORWARD. THE CYLINDER BLOCK, HEX HEAD, AND GASKET AND CLUTCH REPLACED. SINCE MY COMPLAINT I HAVE BEEN IN ARBITRATION AND RECEIVED A 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN WARRANTY ON 12/2013. THE CARE STILL MAKES THE CLANKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING "SOUNDS LIKE A LOOSE BICYCLE CHAIN". SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD A OIL LEAK AND ON 4/17/14 THE CAMSHAFT WAS REPLACED. LAST WEEK THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION LEAK. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS AND TURNED AWAY FROM ONE DUE TO 3 WEEK WAIT TIME FOR ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND MOST FORD DEALERS AE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 3-4 WEEKS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR A TRANSMISSION CHECK. *JS

I HAVE A 2012 FORD FIESTA THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2012. AT RANDOM TIMES I FELT THE CAR SHUDDERING DURING ACCELERATION WHEN GOING INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAPPENED MORE FREQUENTLY CAUSING MY CAR TO SHAKE. AT TIMES IT WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WOULD DIE OUT. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD STILL AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE CLUTCH SYSTEM HAVING TROUBLE CATCHING. THIS WAS REPLACED IN JANUARY 2014. 10000 TO 12000 MILES LATER AROUND THE END OF MAY 2014 THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING AGAIN. AT THIS TIME MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHAKING UPON ACCELERATION AND ENGINE LIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS EXPECTED WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE BUILT OF IT AND BLAMED THE THROTTLEBODY (ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSIS) THAT IS CAUSING THE SHAKING. I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE THROTTLE BODY SINCE AT THIS TIME MY WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED. I PICKED IT UP AND 2 DAYS LATER I HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SHAKING UPON ACCELERATION. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A DAY AND THE TRANSMISSION TECH DIAGNOSED THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE WHICH WAS THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY SYSTEM. EVEN THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED TO ME THAT MANY OTHER FIESTA OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SOME ARE ON THEIR 3RD REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH SYSTEM. CURRENTLY I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS FOR MY CAR TO COME IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THE SHAKING IS GETTING WORSE AND MAKING LOUD GRINDING NOISES. IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL ON ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TRYING TO CROSS ANY INTERSECTION ON MAKE TURNS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STALLED POSITION. MAJORITY OF THE TIME I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND VERY NERVOUS THAT IT WILL LEAD TO A POTENTIAL CRASH. *JS

WHEN AT A STOP OR SLOW ROLL AND THEN GIVE IT GAS THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLIPPING OR A HESITATION , SO WHEN YOUR BEGINNING TO TAKE OFF OR MERGER INTO TRAFFIC IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO STOP. THIS CAN CAUSE ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK CAR INTO DEALER HE SAID THERE WAS NO SLIPPAGE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE A TORQUE CONVERTER . WHAT EVER THE PROBLEM IS IT,S BEEN DOING IT FROM DAY ONE, IM WORRIED THAT MY WIFE MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED, THE CAR SHAKES WHEN IT DOES THIS ALSO ALL AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

THE PROBLEM, OR I SHOULD SAY 'THE JAM' AS IN DOOR JAMB, IS THAT BOTH SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOORS ON MY 2012 FORD FIESTA ARE NOT WORKING ON THE CLOSE. THE DOORS WON'T STAY CLOSED OR STAY SHUT. WHEN YOU TRY SHUTTING EITHER DOOR IT JUST BOUNCES BACK OUT A LITTLE. NEITHER DOOR WILL LATCH CLOSED. ONLY 35,772 MILES ON MY 2012 FIESTA WHEN BOTH REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCHES FAILED WITHIN 12 HOURS OF EACH OTHER. IS BOTH DOORS FAILING AT THE SAME TIME JUST A COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT. I THINK DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS! MY FIESTA HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, NO BODY DAMAGE, NO EVIDENCE OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS AND NO APPARENT REASON TO CAUSE 1, LET ALONE BOTH, REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCHES TO MALFUNCTION AND PREVENT CLOSING OF THE REAR SIDE DOORS. AND, ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR INDICATION OF ANY LOOMING OR PENDING PROBLEM WITH THE OPERATION OF EITHER DOOR NOR MY FINGERS, HANDS, WRISTS OR ARMS? ALTHOUGH I DO GET A BOUT-OF-GOUT IN MY KNEE OCCASIONALLY. I JUST OPENED EACH DOOR NORMALLY TO FIND IT BROKEN UPON SHUTTING. WHAT I FIND EXTREMELY STRANGE, AND AT THIS TIME STILL UNEXPLAINED BY ANYONE, IS THAT BOTH DOORS FAILED WITHIN 12 HOURS OF EACH OTHER IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANOR. SEEMS LIKE TOO MUCH TO BE A COINCIDENCE, DOESN'T IT. READ ALL INFO ABOUT THE FAULTY DOOR LATCHES @ WWW.FINLEY.TV. *TR

FRONT SIDE PASSENGER'S DOOR LATCH WILL NOT WORK AND THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE OR LOCK, SO CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS VERY COMMON, IN FACT SO COMMON THAT THEY ARE BACK ORDERED AT LEAST A MONTH OR LONGER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR I BOUGHT JUST 3 MONTHS AGO. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE DOOR LATCHES, THEN WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT HAPPENS TO FIESTA'S ALL THE TIME WITH BRAND NEW ONES TOO. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AGAINST THE LAW TO DRIVE WITH A DOOR NOT PROPERLY LATCHED. I AM FORCED TO PAY ALMOST $200 FOR THE PART AND ABOUT THAT MUCH TO INSTALL IT, SO ABOUT $400 OVERALL FOR A DEFECTIVE PART AND WAS TOLD IT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OTHER DOOR SOMETIME TOO. WHY ISN'T THIS IN RECALL??? *TR

THIS IS MY COMPANY CAR. BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2013. AT ABOUT 7500 MILES I STARTED GETTING HESITATION AND SHUDDERING DURING ACCELERATION. TOOK TO DEALER ([XXX]). TRANSMISSION REPAIR TOOK 3 WEEKS. NOW AT 19000 MILE IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. TOOK BACK TO SAME DEALER. THEY SAID FORD NOW HAS A "SHUDDER TEST" AND IF IT IS UNDER 250, NO REPAIRS. IT CONTINUES TO WORSEN. IT CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR CAR IS GOING TO TAKE OFF OR JUST SHAKE AND HESITATE LIKE A [XXX]! ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO NURSE UT ALONG UNTIL IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY? MY EMPLOYER THAT ASSIGNED ME THIS CAR OWNS FOUR OF THEM FOR THE SALES STAFF AND ONE OF THE OTHERS HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR REPAIRS ON THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DIFFERENT VEHICLES FOR WORK AND PERSONAL REASONS FOR 40 YEARS AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME THIS IS EVEN CLOSE TO NORMAL. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AT AROUND 55 MPH WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT GO, KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. FINALLY GOT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I TURNED ENGINE BACK ON, AND TRIED TO PUT IT IN GEAR, MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO A GEAR. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF WAITING, CAR FINALLY CLICKED INTO GEAR. TWO DAYS LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR. SHE WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN IT DID THE SAME THING, HOWEVER SHE WASN'T ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WITH 2 KIDS IN THE CAR. I HAD TO GO PICK HER UP. THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING IT HAD TO ME 2 DAYS PRIOR, HOWEVER THIS TIME IT TOOK MUCH LONGER FOR A GEAR TO ENGAGE. I TOOK THE CAR DOWN TO AUTOZONE TO SEE IF ANY CODES APPEARED ON THEIR COMPUTER, BUT THERE WERE NONE. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND READ MULTIPLE POSTS ON TRANNY PROBLEMS BUT NO RECALL OR FIXES. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE TO SEE IF I COULD FIGURE OUT WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS SO THAT I COULD GET IT INTO THE SHOP. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN A 10 MILE SPAN, EACH TIME TAKING LONGER TO ENGAGE IN A GEAR. FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THE CODE READ: P06B8 INDICATING A PCM PROBLEM. I AM NOW CURRENTLY WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE SHOP TO HAVE THIS FIXED, HOWEVER I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR. MY WIFE AND KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED HAD THEY BEEN DRIVING AT FASTER SPEEDS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER. THE CAR LITERALLY GOES OUT OF GEAR WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT AND ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!!! *TR

AS THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN THE TRANSMISSION IS AUTOMATICALLY PUT INTO NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE CAR DOES NOT CONTINUE TO GO SINCE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. WE HAD THIS "FIXED" WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THE DEALER REPORTED IT NEEDED A NEW BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. BUT, THE NEW BATTERY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER AS WE WERE DRIVING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW. WE STILL HAVE NO REPORT ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS AFTER 3 DAYS. THE FIRST TIME IN THE SHOP AFTER THE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT IT RAN NORMALLY THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY COULD DRIVE IT IN THE GARAGE. *TR

WELL I'VE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON A LOT OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS BUT SINCE THEY ALWAYS MAKE IT SOUND LIKE ITS ME. OF COURSE WHEN I GET IT IN THE LIGHTS OFF. BUT I'VE TAKEN PICS WITH THE LIGHT ON. *TR

MY 2013 FORD FIESTA SE HATCHBACK HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES I BELIEVE WILL CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE CAN DOWN SHIFT OR "BOG DOWN", CAUSING ME TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND NEARLY CAUSING COLLISIONS. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE DEFENSIVE DRIVING OF THE OTHER DRIVERS I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WITHIN 1 MONTH OF DRIVING I KEPT HEARING CRAZY GRINDING NOISES AND IT WOULD BOG OUT BETWEEN 0-30..-RPM WOULD JUMP TO 5 ON SLIGHT ACCELERATION THAN DIVE BACK TO 0; FORD DEALER DID "COMPUTER UPDATE ON ELECTRONICS" - DID NOT FIX PROBLEM; THEY SAID I NEEDED TO "ADAPT TO THE DIFFERENT CLUTCH"; CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS BETWEEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR- TOOK TO DEALER AND ANOTHER "UPDATE" WAS DONE. I WAS DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HAD TO DROP SPEED FROM 45 TO 30 TO CROSSOVER TO DIFFERENT HIGHWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AS IF IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I MANAGED TO GET CAR HOME WITHOUT HAVING A STROKE AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I GOT HOME I CALLED DEALER WHO CAME AND TOWED IT- THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH. AFTER ABOUT 2 MOS I NOTICED IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT AGAIN AND BECAME CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO PRIOR HIGHWAY INCIDENT. I TOOK IT IN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED; ALONG WITH ANOTHER CLUTCH. NOW IT IS MAKING A TICKING SOUND AND I AM CONCERNED OF A GAS ODOR. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK AGAIN. I FILED LEMON LAW ON IT AFTER THE HIGHWAY INCIDENT. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT THIS CAR IS VERY POPULAR FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE CAR FOR THEIR NEW TEEN DRIVER. THE NEW DRIVER WILL NOT BE EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO REALIZE HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION OR KNOW THAT THE CAR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE 2013 FORD FIESTA NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!! *TR

TRANSMISSION LURCHES, BOGS DOWN AND HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF. FORD SAID THE CLUTCH PACKAGE WENT BAD AND IT COST $1,724 TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. LESS THEN 65K ON A 2012 AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. THIS CAR BELONGS TO A 16 YEAR OLD. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2011 FORD FIESTA TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR AWHILE NOW. I HAVE HAD THEM RESET THE SYSTEM AND ALSO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. HOWEVER, MY CAR STILL HAS ISSUES THE TRANSMISSION STICKS AND DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GUESS. YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE ENGINE STICK AND SHUTTER. THE CAR IS MORE AND MORE FAILING TO ACCELERATE WHICH HAS CAUSED TO ME TO ALMOST GET INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE SOLUTION I WAS TOLD BY FORD WAS THAT THERE IS NO TRUE FIX AND IT IS JUST SOMETHING THEY CAN NOT FIX. MY CAR IS BRAND NEW AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THAT TYPE OF ANSWER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF MY CAR MALFUNCTIONING. I WANT THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR GOOD, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN MY CAR AND FEAR OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT OR SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH 1ST TO 3RD GEARS. THE VEHICLE GRINDS SPORADICALLY WHILE MAINTAINING CONSTANT SPEED AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER COASTING, THE VEHICLE WILL GRIND AND SHUDDER DURING ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR ON THREE OCCASIONS, ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. MOST RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER, GRINDING, AND SHUDDERING FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE GEAR FULLY ENGAGES WHEN TURNING OR CONDUCTING U TURNS, WHICH CAUSES OTHER MOTORISTS TO NEARLY REAR END MY VEHICLE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. FORD HAS REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION THREE TIMES, WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT, AND INFORMED ME EACH TIME THAT THEY CANNOT VERIFY A DEFICIENCY, AND HAS NOT HONORED WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. *TR
